Ask Men's Fatness- "Is it normal to be so sore that it hurts to sit?"

So yesterday morning I destroyed myself with a workout.  I couldn't sleep so I woke up early and decided to do some weight training.  I sure can feel it today in my legs.  Went and sat on the potty at work and was glad to have the disabled grab bars on the walls to get up with.  Tying my shoes is another problem. My legs are so sore I had a hard time bending down to lace up my shoes. I can see why old dudes wear slip-on loafers. Hmm....if this keeps up I might have to do some shoe shopping. I am thinking that this might be a good look for me. (This is the way I feel)


So my program is basically get into good enough shape to start P90x without killing myself.  I have started two times in the past and fizzled out after a couple of weeks.  I am doing weights and running on the treadmill.  If you ever have the chance, check out the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells. They are so slick and don't take a ton of room.  At work I make it a point to stand up and pace around like a caged porcupine when on the phone  to burn some calories and stay loose. This seems to work well to keep from stiffening up, but me walking around in circles tends to make my coworkers nervous.

Doing good though. Am eating pretty clean. Haven’t weighed myself yet but have already gone one notch tighter on my belt. It's pretty funny, I was looking in my closet to get dressed for a meeting and realized that I have a pair of suit pants that are so tight that every time I wear them I get a headache.  Here is your first Men's Fatness fashion tip. Choose pants that won't make your head hurt.

Seriously, is this supposed to hurt this bad? I thought getting in shape would put a spring in my step, not make me feel like I am an 80 year old arthritic. Let's see how the next week goes.
