Pain- Pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage”.Gain- (n) advantage; an increase; winnings

So basically I can not acquire an increase/winnings/advantage without unpleasant sensory and emotional damage.  Does this sound right to you???

So, I have now had three visits to my personal trainer.  Okay, one didn’t count as a workout but I showed up so in my book it counts.  (That was the dreaded weigh-in day).  This meeting we worked on arms/strength. 

Now, for anyone who has seen me since last Thursday you are aware that I have not been able to walk properly since my last workout.  Muscle spasms, sore muscles, the whole nine yards.  I compared it to Nancy Kerrigan getting whacked in the legs by Tonya Hardings goons.  It was VERY painful.  I wanted to feel the burn; bring the heat; but I never imagined it could feel like an inferno burning in my thighs and right calf muscle. 

I went to my session on Monday knowing I missed Saturday boot camp and feeling like I had something to prove to myself and my lazy muscles.  And you know what… I did it.  I actually made it through the session; did my chest press, curls, a little cardio warm up, and AB work with ‘minimal’ complaint.  I left with a sense of accomplishment and feeling really good about myself. 

I’m trying to recruit more friends to work out.  If you’re interested let me know. 

 Chanell- You don’t have a choice. Your first session is next Thursday. 

 Let’s go GIRLZ!
