Mmm, cookies! Yum! We ordered some treats from Hershey's for Christmas and they look absolutely stunning—not to mention they taste incredible. I haven't managed to try everything yet, but so far, I’m really impressed!

I think I've finally found my go-to spot for sweets. Magnolia Bakery. My mom and I stopped by yesterday and picked up a few treats—they're honestly incredible! We got 1 kg $28, and they were kind enough to arrange everything on trays, wrap them in cellophane, and deliver them right to the hotel 🙂

Ladies, how many pastries should I order for roughly 170 people (give or take 10)? Just to clarify, I'm not planning on handing these out as party favors; they're just meant to be served at the hotel banquet.

Good grief, muffins!😍 That’s actually a brilliant idea.

Jonathan Miller7 said:I get that kind of pain too, even on days I don't hit legs at all. I guess it could be anything—knees, lower back, flat feet, or maybe just tight tendons.

Edit:

I've been thinking about it, and I think I figured out why it hurts. Whenever I'm doing any heavy lifting, my whole body tenses up, including my legs. I really feel it during dips; I end up bracing my legs mid-air, almost like I'm straining them against nothing. After those kinds of sessions, whenever I move, my legs ache—it almost feels like my bones are being stretched.

Should I actually be worried about this pain?

Jonathan Miller7 said:Does it hurt like when your legs are stretching, you know, like that deep bone pain?

I suppose it's something like that....

As for protein, I don't think that's playing a role here.
A deficiency might cause muscle breakdown, but you wouldn't really feel that specific sensation.

It hurts while I'm resting—specifically when I'm sitting or lying down. I've been wondering if it's just from sitting too much, since I tend to spend entire days slumped in an uncomfortable chair.
The pain is strictly in my legs. My arms, stomach, and back feel fine.
I have been hitting my leg workouts a bit harder lately, so maybe I overdid it... though I'm not sure that makes sense, because if it were just muscle soreness, it would feel like typical DOMS, and this doesn't feel like that at all.

EDIT: I'm starting to suspect it might even be coming from my spine...

Is drinking one glass of Donat enough to get sufficient magnesium?
Regarding protein, I just try to eat foods I know are good sources, so some days I hit my targets and some days I don't. I guess that's alright?

wearyotter81 said:Maybe try increasing your Mg intake. You could try tablets or effervescent ones.

Oh, that's another thing to consider. 😳 I'm already taking nutritional yeast and eating plenty of broccoli...😳
If I bump up my Mg, maybe the pain will subside, because it’s actually starting to bother me quite a bit. My leg muscles are just constantly aching. 😢
I've been sitting at my desk a lot lately, so that might be the culprit... but that's probably a different issue entirely.
Thanks for the tip!🙂

Jonathan Miller7 said:It doesn't have anything to do with your post-workout protein intake.

In that case, I honestly can't wrap my head around where this pain is coming from... I stretch everything out and I've been following the exact same routine for years...😕😕

Just one quick question 🙂
If I don't hit my protein targets after a workout, is that going to make my muscles feel extra sore?😕

Could someone please explain what Mia and S-100 actually mean? I'm asking in relation to melanoma... and I suppose I should also ask what counts as a normal value? My apologies if this is the wrong subforum; maybe someone could move the post for me. Thanks!
