What does PT really stand for?

Amy's business card proclaims her to be a PT. So after another hour of being asked (very nicely, I hasten to add) to do many gruelling things on Friday evening, I fell to wondering what PT really means. A quick google and up pops good old Wikipedia to say that it can have several meanings. 1) Pacific Time zone, 2) Pro Tempore (with the translation 'for the time being' for those us without a classical education) 3) Physical Training. I can relate to the last one. There was a time when PT was on the school timetable when I was younger. If I remember correctly, it was preceded by PJ (Physical jerks) and superseded by PE (Physical Education.

Further down page 1 of the google results, it turns out that it could be Prothrombin time (don't ask) or Portugal Telecom to name but a few.

My own thoughts are that it means Painful Torture. But the aches have gone and (though I'll say it very quietly) I did quite enjoy it.

Back to work .. and the gym

This is not our turkey - just one I saw on a google picture search. Ours was a bit smaller with only four of us to get through it. It was a very good time with family and we enjoyed it immensely. We sang plenty of carols at the chapel of course. I don't think I over indulged and did keep going to the gym. Fitted in a few sessions on the turbo trainer as well and so felt ready for the next appointment with Amy. Unfortunately she had read my previous post and so the weights were a bit heavier. But that is what it is all about, I suppose. Unless you push yourself, you don't know what you can do. And I don't ache nearly as much now as I did after the first session so I do feel the benefit.
