things unsaid

I’ve always known that I’m just not a morning person in general, but I’m learning that I’m most assuredly not a morning workout person. Unfortunately, it’s the only time I can do it, so I’ve been meeting with my new torturer (aka trainer), Chris, at 8:00 every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Well, this morning, he had me doing what he called “circuit training.” I call it cruel and unusual punishment, and frankly, I’d like to know what I did to deserve it, but anyhoe…

He could tell that I truly hated it, and that it was extremely difficult for me, so he tried to make me feel better by saying, “It just sucks while you’re doing it. You’ll feel fine after.” He left that last sentence unfinished, though. Apparently, what he meant to say was, “You’ll feel fine after you go home, throw up, take an hour-long nap, drink a glass of water, take a shower, and consume a scone and a smoothie from the ‘bou, but not a moment sooner. And even then, ‘fine’ will be as good as you can possibly hope to feel. You won’t feel spectacular, great or even good, really. In fact, you will mostly feel kind of wobbly and light-headed for an undetermined period of time. We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Maybe I’m just a complete wuss, but I think that if vomiting is involved, one might have worked out just a little too hard. I’m just sayin’ is all.
