Holy Cow I'm Sore!!!

I think my friend, Val, is trying to kill me.

She's worked up this weight program for us to do and is making me do it. She even picks me up...like I can't be trusted to actually drive there myself. LOL!!! The other day, we did chest, arms and cardio. Yesterday, I couldn't lift my arms above my head. Ugh. Today, we did legs. I'm already having a hard time walking. When she dropped me off at home, she said, "good luck in class tonight. Hope your legs work!" Hah hah. Very funny.

Actually, I'm pretty grateful that she's taking me under her wing since I have no idea what I'm doing with weights. It feels good to work out again.

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for the kids. This has to be the first time that I've ever seen a school start on Monday. Love it! Anyway, we got to the school a little early so that I could drop the kids off at their classrooms.

Jacob wouldn't let me walk him in...I guess he's too old for that now. Daniel was fine with me walking him to his class until we actually got there. At that point, he pretended that he didn't know me. Oh well. I then walked Hannah to her room. I wasn't prepared for the reading of The Kissing Hand by Hannah's teacher and walked out of the school in tears. She was so excited and looked so happy when I left and I can't wait to hear how her day went.

After dropping the kids off, I headed over to meet Mike at the Fitness Center. I couldn't get an appointment to actually join until Wednesday so I went in on a visitor's pass. One of the trainers took my blood pressure and heart rate (both good!) and showed me how to use some of the machines. She then let me go on my own. I managed 40 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the elliptical machine before I was done. I'm excited because they'll put a nice plan together for me so that I can work the areas that need help. I'm excited and I hope that I can stick with it.
