I had a birthday.  I went on vacation.  I missed Karen for two weeks.  I might not have worked out much…is mini-golf working out? Oh man oh man did I feel the after effects of too much gluten-free birthday cake (unfortunate, I know, but its genetic what can I say).

I was so sore after our last workout and the only positive part of that was I got to see Karen the next day and complain about how sore I was each and every time we sat down, stood-up, climbed stairs or laughed too hard.  She didn’t really feel bad though…in fact, she kept saying “good” whenever I was like “oooooohhh, uggggghhhh, my innnneeerrr thiiiiigghhs, Karen it hurrrrts.”

It is really good though because I am now really looking forward to it.  Working out I think makes me stronger as a person.  Yes, a major goal is to look great in a bathing suit, but it has now stretched beyond that.  I feel like I am challenging myself, taking care of my body and really growing–muscles, mind and all = ).
