Exercise is good for me (Or so I have been told)

There is a place near by called Next Generation Training Center.
They were on groupon a few times.
$79 for 20 semi personal training sessions.
One day on a bit of a whim I decided to buy it.
Why you may ask?  Its time to get moving.  I am older now and well
the reality is I need to exercise for the future.
But really ~ after going for my first session yesterday where the trainer let me take it easy,
this morning I can hardly move around.  bending at the hips or knees is painful.  I am waiting
with great anticipation for the Advil to kick in!!!!
I will go back for the other 19 sessions because well, I paid for them.  I am a frugal Dutchie after all.
But my productivity level is way down already this morning.  Loading the dishwasher was an exercise in caution.  Everything is taking twice as long.  Just want to crawl back in bed.

A Little Peek

Outside my window: my patio ~ empty right now but soon to be filled with laundry I need to dry
I am thankful:  That one of my bff's had a healthy baby boy this past week and also that it didn't rain the whole day.
On my computer: various websites are open
In the kitchen: a pile of clean dishes, chick peas for making hummus, blender waiting for me to make a smoothie in it, chili on the stove for dinner.  Last night's leftovers waiting to become my lunch
 I am wearing: jeans, long sleeve t-shirt, & flip flops
I am creating: Lots of projects are in my head.  Need to find time to execute!
 I am going: to and from 3 different schools all year long.  :-)
 I am trying: to have more patience, be careful with my words, to figure out where exercise fits into my life
 I am watching:  Breaking Bad, Dexter, Top Chef Masters
 I am hoping: to we all stay healthy this fall
I am praying: my brother who broke his leg yesterday and for my church as we have some huge mountains to climb 
I am looking forward to: Meeting my bff's new baby boy.  The weekend (probably bad since its only Monday),
 A favorite quote for today: 
 A few plans for the rest of the week: school meetings, back-to-school night, cross country meet, girls night with my bible study group
