Hurt so Good

I transferred my gym membership several months ago, when my old gym eliminated the classes, some of which I enjoyed.

My new gym has classes, and I regularly take one, called BodySculpt or something. It's kind of fun, not too hard but hard enough, and I like feeling as though I'm getting muscles . . . or at least some kind of toning.

The old gym's classes were always more grueling, so I was kind of enjoying my new and gentler BodySculpt class with Megan. But tonight . . . dum dum DUM . . . I walked in to my class and there was Cindy, one of the teachers from the old gym, either as a substitute or a permanent replacement for Megan.

"Oh, crap," I thought. "This is going to be rough."

And it was. An hour later I was facedown on my step, slightly nauseous, biceps and quads quivering like the proverbial bowl full of jelly. I was reduced to a gelatinous blob.

I'll be lucky if I can even sit down tomorrow without moaning.

About Me

  • I'm thirty & living in Amish Country, PA. I'm a marketing writer for a non-profit.
  • I'm Mennonite, but not in a head-covered, dress-wearing kind of way. More in a hippy-liberal, peace-loving kind of way.
  • I like books, discussing, thinking, my church, friends, and my family.
  • I'm good at gift-giving, shopping, and writing.
  • I'm bad at meeting new people, cleaning my car, and keeping my house warm.
  • I'm annoyed by people who wear shorts in the winter, create excessive drama, don't recycle, or talk about how fat they are.
