Training Torture!

Man, it's been a struggle but an awesome week! I haven't worked my legs with weights in months and I was so excited to start working them again. I started with my friend and trainer last week. I get very motivated and competitive when I work with other people. Felt great after my workout last week. However the next few days after that were....HOLY COW...pure torture! The next day my legs were stiff and sore. The day after, my legs were in pure PAIN! I was plugging high doses of Tylenol and ibuprofen to get through my day at work. I have a very physical job as an RN. Lifting patients may not be so bad just using the arms, but to lift using proper body mechanics, the legs are highly involved as well. By the end of the day I was half tempted to kick some of the patients out of their wheelchairs for my own use! Admittedly, there were even points where I considered killing my trainer! Even though I was almost in tears with pain, it was an AWESOME feeling! I loved it! To feel and know those muscles are being pushed to grow, I realize I am sculpting my body. It is an art form...a way I can worship the Lord.
