So, I’m not sure what the recovery time for a workout is really supposed to be for a beginner. I figured the chances were slim I’d recover enough to have a workout on Wednesday, but it’s now Thursday, and I hurt just as bad as I did Tuesday morning. In fact, a NEW agony has emerged: my right shoulder.
Tuesday morning I had horrible pain in my triceps muscles, and a certain amount of hurt in my pecs. It was fairly manageable. But now my right shoulder has joined the fray and it feels like someone was beating me in my sleep. HW does have a tendency to do that, but she’s out of town at the moment, and the cats aren’t strong enough. (They do more damage with their teeth, claws, and constant insistence that they be petted.)
I’m hoping that in the future I’ll recover more quickly from a workout, as right now I’m not entirely sure I’ll ever be able to move my right arm again. In order that I might continue shedding unsightly wrinkly fat from my hips, I’m considering buying an inexpensive bicycle, probably at Walmart, because I need to lose a sizeable amount of weight very rapidly.
Auditions for the Brandywiners’ production of South Pacific are April 17th, and the part I would like to audition for requires a degree of shirtlessness. So at the audition they want to have all the guys remove their shirts so they might be checked for rippitude. I’m not seeing myself having a lot of that, so I plan to lose as much weight as possible in the next month (luckily, I’m already through the induction part of the Atkins diet, so I should be shedding pounds already) and then invest in an Ab-Abber 3000.
I suppose I could do crunches, but that’s just not how I roll.
