Ok, so weird how that posted twice…whatever.
So, thank you for all the compliments on the hair color! I know you all didn’t see it before, but it is definitely more red. I like it a lot! 
SO, no training today b/c of the midmorning phone interview. It lasted about an hour and had only 3 questions. I did talk a lot and asked a lot of my own questions. They have four positions to fill and over 300 applicants to go through. I do have an advantage in that I already work for Marriott so already know the computer systems, I’ve also worked overnight, so I know about the night audit. He said that I would hear from them probably next week, 10 days at the latest.
Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment and then training and then work. I am excited to get in a little earlier than I normally would so I can try some of the mobility work that has been suggested.

I was going to link you to the old fart thread too, the mobility work just feels good to do before lifting. [/quote]
you aren’t alone…i didn’t even compute Green Eyes til someone said it somewhere…
over 35 is the old fart thread? I’M IN!!!
Sending positive vibes for the interview result!
Hope you enjoy the mobility stuff & notice a difference.
love the hair color - good luck on the interview!

And, you did follow through! That makes me happeh.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm … scar…
Hey Greenie, didn’t want to post in here until I saw real pics. Love love love the hair.
Oh! & hai to the Kat.
So, today was good. My scar is healing fine. One of the AM Rooms Controllers came in with pink eye so they sent her home. I had gotten there so early, and done with my training about an hour earlier than I usually do, my manager asked me to start early so I got an hour’s worth of OT today.
On with the real nitty gritty stuff!
I did some static stretching along with some fire hydrants, standing leg raises (hip abductors?), scapular push ups (which felt AWESOME b/c I carry all my stress in my upper back and I could feel them really loosening those muscles), and some guy’s squat mobility exercises (his name starts with a T?). Then:
Everything is listed reps x weight.
DB Lunges: 4 x BW, 3 sets of 6 x 8.
BB Squats: 2 sets of 15 x 20.
Leg Curls: 6 x 40, 6 x 50, 6 x 50, 6 x 60.
Calf Raises: 4 sets of 12.
Ab Curls: 3 sets of 20 x 60.
Then some more stretching after that. Since it took me 4 days to recover from the last leg day, I decided to do the minimum reps and low weight. I can’t afford to take 4 days off of training after I work my legs. Right now my legs feel great, not tight or sore or anything.
eventually your leggies will get used to it!! or not…I still get sore for a few days after…sore like having to use the counter to lower myself to the toilet…sorry, haha!
To help with doms:
-do 15 minutes of walking treadmill - or walking outside after your leg day
-eat proper meals post workout
-sleep enough hours
^^^^
yeah, what she said. Add a ton of water to the list too. It’ll help you flush toxins (lactic acid).
Leg work looks pretty good…cheers!
Listen to Nlmain & CDQAR24 - great advice regarding DOMS.
Plus, MiM is right, it’ll improve as your body gets used to training.
Plus, you’ll probably learn to love DOMS. I know I do.
Okay…what is “doms”?

Ah. Thank you.
Yes, nlmain has it right. Motion is lotion. My DOMs are infinitely worse if I then spend the rest of the day sat on my arse (in front of the computer). Getting blood into the affected muscles helps, so going for a walk is a stellar idea.
