Most often, it's the large muscle groups that are sore after a heavy workout (Back, Chest, legs...) Are you doing a full body workout for every scheduled strength training day? I'd offset it with cardio days inbetween to bring blood to your sore muscles and burn those extra calories. Don't forget to replenish those tired muscles with a 3:1 (carb:protein) meal to ensure you're good to go for your next workout! Depends….lifting heavy = DOMS like Shelby said.

Good news though, the more you do it the less it will hurt the day after or the day after that :) Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)…you will be in the most pain 2 days after you work out if you trashed on your muscles…sorry dude…get ready, tomorrow will suck.

I have to say since i've read your blog about stopping caffine, i have been trying to stop my pop intake.

I'm currently on the DL and frustrated about my body not letting me go to the gym. The one thing with which I always battle is diet. What's the right balance? Protein, carbs and fats ... what percentage of each should I be aiming at each day? What are the best cuts of meat, whether beef, chicken or pork? What are good carbs and what are bad carbs?

Umm... I don't actually have a good answer to your question though. This is my second time reading; I also read about buying a bike trailer. I think cuz the title said 'zoo'. Mostly I'm just here being a voyeur. But way to go on making healthy changes!
