Not so April fools & successful run

I was so excited on Monday for the drywall finishers to show up! I text my husband around 10 in the morning to see if they came and he told me no. The more I thought about it throughout the day I was really convinced it was a horrible April fools joke. When I got off work I even stopped at home before picking up Trenton from day care just to see. No they had not come!!! Due to the language barrier with the contractor there was a misunderstanding. I was SSSSOOOO disappointed. They did however come yesterday and the first coat of tape and mud is up! We had fans on it all afternoon and night and this morning it was dry! So they will be back today! I am so excited to paint! I can't wait to see the colors on the walls!

The Easter candy has gotten the best of me the last two nights! Would I be a horrible mom if I made Trent pick out some that he will eat and throw the rest away? Because I think I may do that! I am still adjusting to preparing meals without a stove or kitchen for that matter. I had to laugh last night as I was cooking and looking around the garage. The refrigerator sits next to my husband's tool boxes, the microwave on the work bench underneath all the sand paper and racing pictures and my counter is a scrap piece of plywood sitting on top of a cabinet. Quite the kitchen, LOL! Thank God for frozen veggies and rotisserie chicken!

Yesterday I met up with an old training client. I haven't worked with her since last October when I took my new position. She has continued to work on her own and since I don't have a house to workout in we went for a run! She had not ever made it past 4.5 miles. I got it in my crazy head that we were going to break that barrier! Mind you I can count on one hand the number of times I have run this winter! We ran 4.7 miles and it was horrific! After doing kickboxing in the morning and then running a distance I probably was not ready for I could have croaked!. But WE DID IT! We finished what we had set out to do. Although I didn't tell her when we started how far we were going and I told her there was only one big hill, not emphasizing that we had to go back up it on the way back into town in the end! I was sitting there talking to my husband in the garage last night, sideways in the rocking chair with my knees pulled up and started to cramp in the back of my thighs. I would stretch my leg and it would go away. Then all the sudden it grabbed in my right leg from the back of my knee clear up to my goin! I stood up to walk it off and the other leg cramped!! I was biting my lip trying not to pee my pants! OMG it hurt!! It took a good 5 minutes of turtle slow walking to get it worked out!

On another note I have often had people ask me why I exercise. You can lose weight without exercise. They are right, you can lose weight without exercise. But here is the difference. Exercise will determine how you look! Skinny or fit? You pick!
