Hey all,
Just wanting to post my frustrations with delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) and the water weight in muscles that comes with it after workouts.
I know logically that I've not magically gained 3.5-4 pounds in 2 days, especially because I'm consistently in a calorie deficit (tracking all meal intake through MFP), but when I'm weighing myself and see numbers go up, it really sucks.
I'm new to really working out with a set routine, so I know eventually my muscles will get used to the fact that they're being used and will not hold the water so much as they repair themselves, but until that point, I get so frustrated when I step on the scale.
I have a weight watchers scale that reads BMI and such like that, so I'm going to start paying attention to those numbers a bit more to show myself that progress is still happening, but I just wanted to vent my frustrations out to people who have probably had the exact same frustrations as me!
Also, any tips to get over muscle soreness more quickly would be appreciated haha
