No pain, no gain

Ah, my muscles ache. Wednesday night we worked the upper body and this morning I really feel it. My pecs are tingling, that muscle running down the back of my upper arm is singing and my shoulders have a warm burn a brewin'. God, I love the feeling!

Seriously, I do. This is a whole new phase in body awareness for me. It took me so long to get in touch with my body as a whole in those early stages post-op. Now it's like I'm getting to know each individual part. Hello, Ms. Tricep, it's nice to feel you kick my ass.

Just like I marveled at how the outside of my body was changing, I'm amazed at what's going on beneath the skin. Hey, it's only been a week, so there's really no outward sign of growing lean muscle. But I'm loving feeling them at work. It's a new level of control for me. And I'm all about control.
