Nat,

Thanks again for the advice -- I bought some gluatime last night. It was the powdered from Twin Labs (Walgreens had it on clearance for 1/2 price!). The directions on the bottle said to take 1 teaspoon. I took it last night, then again this morning. Is that how much you take, just the 1 teaspoon per day? I hope it helps because I am worse today -- my leg muscles are so sore that I'm using the handicaped stall in the ladies room -- walking, getting up and down, bending, etc. is very difficult. Is this something that will happen every time I do the lower body workout, or will it get better as I gain muscle? I know that I should expect some soreness, if I am understanding things correctly that you need to cause some muscle damage so it will grow, but will I reach a point when it will only be mildly annoying? If so, how long did that take?

Thanks again for your help.
