I’m two full days into the challenge, and I’ve found out that what I thought was going to be hard part (the diet) is really pretty simple. I just have to go grocery shopping a lot more and do a little math once in a while. What I thought was going to be the easier part (the working out) has thus far been pretty damn hard. I attended my first class on Monday night and woke up a bit sore in the bicep area. The soreness faded as the day progressed and I attended my second class on Tuesday night. After Tuesday’s class, my biceps were screaming. They screamed through the drive to Sarah’s. They screamed through dinner. They screamed through the drive home, through my shower, through my sitting on the couch, and through me trying to fall asleep. I sat up from around midnight until about 2am, alternately icing my biceps and trying to figure out how I could ever get some sleep with such immense pain. I managed to waddle upstairs and find some Ibuprofen PM and pounded two of those. I fell asleep sometime after, but woke up with a familiar screaming. I stopped and grabbed some Icy Hot on the way to work, and while my biceps are still sore, this cooling sensation is pleasantly distracting. I’m trying to muster enough courage to attend class again tonight.
