Cowboy - Running a marathon is a pretty good dream/goal to have I think. You'll get there someday if you put your mind to it. I wouldn't mind running in a 5K or 10K for worthy cause, but I don't feel any particular need to do a marathon. I mostly just run for myself because I like it and feel great afterwards. I NEVER thought those words would come out of my mouth either!
As for the estrogen overload in my house - there are times when hubby says he'd like to move out for a week until we are all past the PMS stuff, but usually he just hides in his work room in the basement. Our girls may not actually get their periods yet, but from very young you can tell what time of the month it is just by how they behave (or DON'T behave!). Our house has 3 bathrooms in it, and his parents live right next to us so in an emergency someone can use their bathroom. So hopefully he won't have to ever resort to using the old outhouse that still stands in our farmyard. When he was growing up they didn't get indoor plumbing until he was 8 years old. It was a treat for him to go to school because they had indoor bathrooms there.
I just finished my work out (lower body strength training) and now have this lovely warmness to my muscles, especially my abs. I've only been doing this weight training for a little over a week and a half now, but I can't believe how quickly my muscles are firming up! Hubby seems to be obsessed with the 2 ab muscles that go from my hip bones up to my ribs. Now that things are toning up, it seems as though I've become insanely ticklish and he's always torturing me with tickles!!!
Today was a great day! I dug out an old dress in size 8 that I haven't worn since before I had my first baby. And even back then it didn't fit as well as it does now. I've been on track with my eating all day, and this morning at work I was walking down a hallway that had a conference room at the end. One of my coworkers in the conference room glanced up, then sort of did a double take when she saw me. Then over lunch she sent me an e-mail telling me she saw me earlier before her meeting started and couldn't believe how great I looked since losing weight. She said that she nearly fell out of her chair trying to get a better look! She apologized and said she didn't mean to gawk, but she was just so taken by surprise at how much I've changed. LOL! Then while shopping tonight I noticed there seemed to be a lot more guys than usual looking my way and smiling at me. It made me feel GREAT! Nothing like a little admiration to put a little spring in a girl's step. But the BEST part was when I got home from work and walked into the house. One of the twins looked up and said "Wow Mommy! You look so beautiful!" They all 4 came running to give me a hug and admire my 'new' dress. My oldest gave me a second hug and said "I love my hot looking sexy Momma!" It made me laugh and it felt SO GOOD hearing them say that. It makes all this hard work SO worth it!
I REALLY need to get off this dang computer and get to bed or I am going to be dragging some serious butt tomorrow at work. Good night folks! Catch up with you later!
