It's Friday Eve!

Alright. Child number 3 is now running a fever. One more to go, and surprisingly it's the youngest. My ex is sick now too, guess we all passed it along. He's so wimpy when he's sick that I can flat out laugh at him now! He was such a pain in the a** all the years we were married that I feel I deserve to chuckle a little at his pathetic poor me personality he acquires when he's sick! He's pretty much like Ray Barone when sick, it's disgusting! Whatever this is that we all seem to have is really weird. All of us...be running a fever, take some ibuprofen and the fever goes down. Once the med wears off, fever shoots up again and we start feeling crappy again. What the heck? This is day 5 for me and my temp is still all over the map!

I actually did have a really good day though. For some reason, I was in an unusually "chipper" mood, which is pretty funny in itself because I don't think anyone would call me chipper! I've been told, I am "calm." Ummm. Is that good? I don't get angry very easily or very often (a complete switch from 10 years ago!) Nor am I one of those bubbly types you just want to punch at 7am when they over-happily smile and wish you a beautiful morning. Suffice it to say that I'm not a morning person at all, and barely speak before 10am after several cups of coffee! But today...great mood all day long, super clean eating..now heading downstairs for cardio.....
Ok, back from cardio. It was, just...ok. I did all 20 minutes on the treadmill tonight, which I haven't done in a while. I'm just not that great with the treadmill. Have problems running on it (if you are brave enough to call what I do RUN!), but also don't get the full benefit because I have to hang on to the damn thing! I really don't know what's up with that! Maybe the fear that one of my knees will give out and I'll get hurt on the darn thing. Well, they haven't been hurting lately so I did try to let go and use my arms, but whenever I do, I start creeping backwards and quickly wind up at the bottom ready to crash on my ass! What, my short legs can't keep up with a treadmill that only goes 5-6mph? Is that sad or WHAT? I did sweat which is so unusual, so maybe I did get something out of it, but certainly don't feel as though I hit a 10. I feel kind of dejected after the workout tonight.
