I've been working out at the gym for some time now, and have really not seen the results I feel I should for the effort I put in. (Apparently, I have this adverse reaction to pain.) Just as I'm getting to the point where the weight and rep should benefit me, I stop. I guess....well..... I guess because it HURTS!..... (I'm sure there's a spiritual application in there somewhere, but that's for another day.)
Anyhow, I thought I'd take a weight lifting class called "Body Pump", with the idea of creating some accountability and discipline to help me get past this little pain thing.... My goal is to look like this....
What's so funny.... it could happen! We all have to set our sights on something, right? (Okay, I'll start with the gotee.)
So, I go into this class, and realize it's.... 95% women. Obviously, this creates a strong opportunity to be humiliated...... on so many levels. I won't even begin to count all the ways. HOWEVER, I'm making this thing work.... I just keep focused on two things --
ONE, make sure I can lift more weight that 90% of the women in the class, and
TWO, make sure I don't make eye contact with the other 10% that can lift more than me. I mean, after all, I don't have a mom to go home too if I start getting bullied..... That's all I need is to upset one of them....
By the way, do you realize how hard it is to type a blog seeing through only one eye? Until the swelling goes down, I'll probably keep these things short.....
I know, I know, I don't know what happened. I was just trying to encourage her. All I said was, "Hey, I noticed you had really nice form on those squats......". That's the last thing I remember.
