To Workout or not to Workout... or to over Workout

The entire period of the last month or so has been spent with a vain attempt to cut me down in size, by myself of course. Faced with a 98 kilo bulk (And a big Spare Tire around my waist) and eons of free time till august 24th when I shall make the proverbial escape.. (uttered Vivek style) to Korea, I have been given the ultimatum to lose weight by my mom. But then the Anna University Alumni Club, of which my dad was a member, happily opened up a new well equipped AC gym, and to my pleasant surprise was open for both sexes. Needless to say, I astonished my parents by signing in right away and then on 'gymmed' hard. The place was for the most part was and is occupied by fifty plus retirees who are in a desperate fight against an aging heart/blood sugar/bulk etc. The flip (and the bright) side to this is that some of them bring their daughters/grand daughters along (and I am the only eligible bachelor around not counting the former Mr.Chennai body builder that is the Gym instructor). Well then, the story now moves on predictable lines as I took to heavy 'bicepping'. The place was surrounded by mirrors and I liberally helped myself to a vareity of weights, dumbells etc. and my instructor was none too pleased to help me on. The very same day, I felt my biceps to be stiffer and I felt proud. The stiffness turned to a mild pain the next day. The instructor bushed it of by saying it was normal and uttered the age old adage "No Pain, no Gain". Well I must have gained a lot apparently for the day after that, I found to my horror that I couldnt straighten my arms for more then 100 odd degree without uttering a wraithlike shreik. Imagine how ridiculous this looks for a mommnet. I spent the next 2 days, walking around like a forlorn velociraptor, hands held in front at a 90 degree angle. Worse was to follow, the calls of nature severly compounded the matter. Thankfully my dear mom then undertook to tie hot water bandages on my arm and now the pain seems to be subsiding. Its been a week since this episode and my arm (especilly the left one) is still refusing to fully straighten. The instructor promised to attack my thighs and abdomen next. Needless to say, I havent been to gym again since.
