I don’t know if it’s my Catholic upbringing or what, but Confession Thursday feels so cathartic. Here are my confessions for the week:
1. Since I drink a gallon of water a day I often find myself having to pee in less than pristine locations. The confession part of this? I’m bad at squatting.
Remember that movie My Girl? She said she caught hemorrhoids from a gas station bathroom? Yeah.
2. Sometimes I think of my year in Columbia, MD and miss it.
Then, I look back on my post from a year ago today and realize I’m idealizing the memory…
I’ll take this sunny day in Huntington Beach, Thank you.
3. I can’t decide if I’m happy or sad that I’ll never make spaghetti as good as my mom.
Oh, and 99% of the time I eat bread with no guilt or hesitation at all. My “sandwich thin” versus “real bread” debate just bugged me at the time.
4. If I’m at your house and you say, “I have all these ingredients to make Muddy Buddy mix (aka Puppy Chow), but I haven’t had the time…”
I’ll make it and eat half of it before you realize what happened.
For those that don’t know – it’s chocolate and PB covered chex mix bathed in powdered sugar. And it’s very very dangerous.
5. I think part of the reason I don’t like oatmeal is because the oats I make for Ben are so much better than the kind I make for myself. I put in a whole banana and cook his with almond milk instead of water. It makes them 100x better.
6. I currently have 6 cans of protein powder on my fridge, but really only use one flavor and keep replacing it. It’s not the one you think either
See that blue bottle in the corner? I replace that too, just not as often because it’s the Costco sized one!
Why am I wearing running clothes and holding vodka? The world may never know…
Decisions, decisions…

7. I try and convince Ben it’s “Take Your Cat to Work Day” at least once a week. One day he’ll buy it.
8. I had to stand in the other room to get a picture of my jug o’iced coffee in this picture. I mostly only started drinking coffee to be part of the “in” crowd and now so many peeps are trying to get off the stuff. Depressing.
9. I dropped my bagel jelly side down on the floor after this picture. Confession part: I ate it before I cleaned up the mess.
*For those that asked… It was Cracklin Oat Bran cereal on my smoothie yesterday. It’s amazing.10. I just got an offer for free entry into a marathon in March. I’m considering it even though I desperately wanted a break from racing. Someone send me to race rehab. I need help.
11. KSWISS sent me Jillian’s 6 Week Six Pack as part of their Jumpstart program. I already have a copy. Confession part: I was tempted to keep it so I would have 2 because I love it sooo much.
But, I’ve decided to be nice and give this extra copy away. Who wants to win???

Jo says
I love confessions they make me guilt free so I can indulge in cookies n cream.
Confession: I use to have hemorrhoids but I didn’t get them from a gas station bathroom, I got them because I use to be was always constipated!!!
Cee says
I’ve eaten fast food two days in a row with no excuses (just went to the grocery, in fact, and bought healthy foods).
Virginia says
I was super healthy yesterday, focusing on fruits, veggies, and whole grains, even went for a run in the snow….until my bf made brownies and I had 2. Oops.
Amanda says
Confession: When I want the people I supervise at work to do a task I know they won’t want to do, I always say “(Manager’s name) wanted you to…” Makes life so much easier:-)
CH says
Oooo OOooo oooo I wanna win. Confession: I really don’t like running right now….
Nidia says
Confession: I just want that DVD….
MarathonVal says
Confession- I’m going to New Orleans tonight with ny husband til Tuesday… We are bringing a huge suitcase, 2 duffel bags and m purse and about 99% of that is all for my stuff… My poor husband!
Charlotte says
Confession: Half the reason I run is for the “props” I get from non-runners. The other half is the cupcakes.
Johanna B says
I was completely off caffeine. I was so proud. Yesterday I drank a diet-coke. For shame. Today I am off caffeine again.
zoe kimberly says
CONFESSION: No matter how much fro-yo I eat, I always count it (food journal wise) as only “one serving.”
Like that one, Monica?
Marika says
Confession? Hmm… I haven’t yet told my supervisor that I’m leaving an hour early today to leave for a weekend trip :-).
Sherry says
I have been stalking, I mean reading, your blog for awhile now and love it, I just wanted to let you know! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Confession: I make 2 seperate meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my husband and my kiddos and then while they’re eating I make my own meal. I have to do this because no one wants to eat as healthy as me.
Confession #2: I hide healthy things in the meals I make for my husband and kids. So funny because they always LOVE whatever I make and always talk bad about the food I make myself. Little do they know what’s really in their food. Shhh don’t tell. 🙂
Katie @ Pop Culture Cuisine says
It’s amazing as I read all of these how many I have done myself or do on a regular basis, apparently I have a lot of confessions! I thought of one more this morning though…
confession: Any french fries or tater tots, etc. that are not in their container and rather in the bag I have dubbed “bag” fill in the blank and they have no calories. Always 🙂
Heather says
Ha! Confession = I’m the first one to get to work in the morning and I’ve been late every day this week. But no one knows b/c even if I’m a half hour late I’m still the first one here. And I still leave at my normal time!
Debbie says
Confession I hired a maid and she starts today but I still feel guilty that I couldn’t do it all.
Floey says
I eat more cereal by the handfuls than I do out of the bowl 🙂 opp.
maja says
confession: i tell everyone my favorite movie is Good Will Hunting, but really it’s Clueless. i could watch it everyday and not get sick of it! i also ate a HoHo for dessert tonight. so fake, but sooo delicious.
Becky says
Confession: I’ve been reading your blog for two years every single day and NEVER posted a comment. I’m super pumped
Confession: Sometimes I eat a bowl of DRY rolled oats with chocolate chips and cinnamon and a little bit of salt and I think it tastes just like an oatmeal cookie. For serious.
Confession: I’m jewish but I grew up in Irish Catholic boston, so I was always super jealous of the kids that got to go to confession.
which is why I did 3 instead of just one!
🙂
Karina says
i don’t go a day without a spoonful of peanut butter 🙂
Melissa says
Confession: I made a goal to cook more dinners, but tonight was the first time I’ve cooked anything since last Thursday. Oops!
Nikki says
I hide cereal from my boyfriend so he doesn’t eat my favorite kinds!
amanda says
I’m Catholic too, so I understand the good feeling of a confession, so heres mine: I don’t have a fancy runner’s watch (or any watch for the matter), so I carry a kitchen timer with me on my training runs 🙂
Danielle says
Confession: I think that eating the slices of cake that I cut to make the edges even don’t count in the calorie department…
blair says
I confess to having an unhealthy love for sprinkles. Not only can a not eat ice cream without them, but I often find myself just dumping a pile into my hand to eat straight.
Jen says
I’ve eaten food that has dropped on the floor more than once or twice 🙂
erin says
I totally dropped my pb rice cake on the floor this morning and picked it up and ate it…I didn’t even kiss it up to God..lol
I linked you on my blog last night..because I was telling everyone (just the three people who read my blog) how excited I am that you will be at FitBloggin!!!
Katie @ cooklaughmove says
Confession: I try and hide from my husband how much time I spend reading blogs! But if I want to tell him about something funny I read, I say “My friend…”
Elizabeth says
I do the same “my friend…”trick!! But he started it – we met online (through Craiglist, srsly, but not in a gross way), and we say that we met through friends. The internet, it is our friend.
Katie @ cooklaughmove says
OMG! My husband and I met on line through a somewhat shady site (but we were legit, I swear!!) and tell his family it was through a friend, since the internet is our friend and they think internet dating is creepy! Haha! I love it!
Katie R says
I shared your giveaway on twitter for an extra entry! @carrotrunr
Katie R says
Confession…I’m really not big on showering. I mean if I workout today and I know I am going to workout tomorrow, what’s the point in showering? If I dry off and put on clean clothes and deodorant…I’m all ‘clean’!
Liz says
Those doors look familiar…are those ones by the HB pier? If so, in a moment of desperation, I’ve been there, done that! Confession: I’m a business traveler addicted to H2O out of my Camelbak bottle so I use LOTS of facilities that I’m not particularly proud of. Ugh.
Karen says
Forgive me Father for I have sinned…I confess that I don’t remember the last time I shaved my legs…it’s just too cold!
Lora says
Confession: I pretended I had cramps tonight to convince my husband to give our two kids their bath. 🙂
heatherfeather says
my name is heather and i have a confession: i love cherries… and a few times the bag has not lasted from the grocery store to the refrigerator
Cathy says
Confession: I had 3 cookies with my lunch today 🙂
Heather C says
haha I love confession Thursday on RER!
My confession, hmm, the last two days have me wanting to not get out of bed for the next two.
That’s not juicy, but true.
Hillary says
My confession is that I just baked pumpkin bread and instead of making one big loaf, I made one medium to take to share and then one mini sized on with the addition of peanut butter and some hershey kisses and ate it all myself.
Malika says
Confession: I’ve eaten like 2 servings of ICE CREAM for breakfast.. And It’s happened more than once… :/ But I try not to feel bad because It rarely happens and when It does.. IT’S AMAZING.
emily says
My confession – most days of the week, I really just want candy for breakfast!
Steph! says
Every Friday on my drive home from work, I listen to “Ignition: Remix” just because R Kelly says “It’s the freakin’ weekend”.
No judgment, right??
Katie says
Haha I just laughed out loud at my desk at this, I love it!
Karla says
Confession: I eat a large pb cup blizzard at least 2 times per week (on top of a lot of other “junk”) and don’t feel guilty.
Vanessa says
I have a couple of confessions. 1. I sometimes eat the snacks that parents bring in for my first grade students (like golfish crackers). 2. I faked sick two weeks ago, stayed in bed and then went on a long run). 3. I’m addicted to blogs!! Seriously, I can’t quit subscribing to every single one that is about running, baking, or teaching.
Allison says
I tell my kids that they have to eat sitting down at tad table and Chen I will go into the kitchen and stand there and eat cookies.
Jennifer@ knackfornutrition says
I think my new boss is really hot. This is problematic.
Taryn says
I confess: Today I got chocolates from one of my students and I stuck my finger in all 12 before deciding which one to eat…then….I ate 5!! Did I mention that I DO NOT like Valentine’s Day?!?! 😉
Megan says
I confess that today I was craving chocolate when I got home from work so I ate 2 handfuls of semisweet chips. Damn.
Nisha says
Confession: I fear the day that I will live alone because there might be a jar I am not strong enough to open by myself 🙁
Jessie says
My confession: I pretty much just ate oatmeal this morning for the chocolate peanut butter on top. It was a good decision.
Amanda says
I need Jillian’s ab DVD. My abs look like a bowl of butter.
Is it the L.A. marathon? I’ve always wanted to do it. but I can’t barely run 3 miles…let alone 26.
Nicole says
I was ill this past week and ate nothing but peanut butter and jellies on flour tortillas and macaroni with margarine and salt. No veggies no fruit. My veins feels sludgy as all-I NEED this DVD!
Kiley says
I posted this on my blog (linked on the sidebar to the post)
Kiley says
I must confess…I love running TOO MUCH!!
Jane says
Confession: the thing I miss the most about living alone in my studio apartment is eating dinner in my comfy bed (nowhere else to go!) so now when my fiancé is out or not paying attention I do it in secret 😉
hippierunner says
Confession: I was so happy to realize I ate all vegan yesterday but then right now I had a major craving for cheese so I’m eating toast with feta+mozzarella. Fail!
Michelle says
Omg. I love puppy chow. will you please come over and make it at my house? You’ll have to come all the way to Boston but I have all the ingredients…
Jenn Haas says
I want to win!! I need abs before May cause I got a cruise to Grand Cayman planned 🙂 I confess that I eat peanut butter with my finger out of the jar and chug almond milk from the carton to wash it down (then I yell at my husband when I see him eating leftovers from the container and putting it back). Ha.
Kristin says
I sent the address for your blog to some friends with whom I take total body tone 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Thanks! and you get an extra entry 🙂
stacey says
Confession: I am completely addicted to Diet Pepsi and drink at least 20 oz every day, if not more. So bad for me, but I just can’t stop!
Kristin says
Confession: I went to the gym yesterday, got on the treadmill, ran 0.28 miles, and went home. Clearly I just wasn’t feeling it…I’m declaring it a rest day and moving on. 🙂
amanda says
Confession: I induldge myself way too much in the grass is greener on the other side
Lindsay@Brownies For Brunch says
Confession: I keep a whole box of Cinnamon Oatmeal Squares cereal stashed in the bottom of my pantry because the second I bring it out into the light, it will be gone that day thanks to my family….
Rebecca says
Confession: I was born and raised in Columbia, MD and have absolutely no idea how you could possibly miss such a place!?! But I suppose that is the disadvantage of being from somewhere – you can never truly appreciate it or see it with fresh eyes.
runeatrepeat says
C’mon, a TJ’s and a Costco in the same complex? Plus, the gym there was amazing!
Kimberly says
Confession: I bought a HUGE brownie for lunch and told myself I was going to eat half today and half tomorrow. I looked down 2 minutes later and the only thing left was crumbs and the wrapper… I had good intentions.
Tristan says
Confession: I saw you running on the same trail I run on. Since I’m apparently socially awkward, I felt too shy to say hi. I went home and told my husband how excited I was to see you, but he thought I was lame for not saying hi. So if you see some crazy girl waving at you on the trail, it’s just me 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Tristan,
This is very cool!When was it?
Sometimes I tell everyone I run by “Good morning”, too bad this wasn’t one of those times…
Tristan says
It was a couple of weeks ago. I always run in the late afternoons because of my work schedule, but I had taken a day off and ran in the morning. I always look and sound like I’m dying when I run. You were probably too afraid I’d keel over if I had to say “good morning” back, lol 🙂
Anne says
I think this is totally cute. Funny how Monica’s like our own private celebrity!
Tristan says
I know, right?! I always say “hi” to people I pass, but all I could do when I saw her was think “holy crap, that’s Monica!”.
Martha says
Confession: I use my boyfriend’s Netflix instant streaming minutes when he’s away and I’ve run out of my own!
Katie @ Pop Culture Cuisine says
Confession: I’m pregnant and keep using it as an excuse to eat junk food. Case in point, last night’s dinner consisted of SIX chicken tenders and french fries from a local fast food joint!
Carly says
Confession:
I stumbled upon your blog one day and have been hooked ever since. Reading your posts have come part of my daily routine. I even find myself talking about you–people look at me like I’m a crazy person with an imaginary friend when I say, “Oh and the other day Monica said she says certain words with a Spanish accent and other words without…” So my ultimate confession is, I’m addicted to RER!!!
runeatrepeat says
This is my favorite confession 🙂
Sarah K says
Yum puppy chow! and vodka 🙂 I’m will need that Jillian Michael’s DVD after what’s about to go down on V-Day this year (chocolate binge anyone?)
melissa says
i confess that no matter what i do, i will never-ever love water.
its makes me pee like crazy and its boring.
so. so.
boring.
Valerie says
I ate an entire box of Special K cereal last week Tuesday. This is why I don’t buy cereal.
Allison W. says
This is horrible but I secretly would like to have a tapeworm so I lose a bunch of weight and then can eat an entire pizza from Little Caesar’s. They’re only $5 and I drove by a location everyday for 3 years and never even got a slice. I just remember how good that pizza was from back when I was a kid at birthday parties!
runeatrepeat says
I joked about the tapeworm thing one time and someone totally jumped all over me about it 🙁
Rae says
Sometimes I figure that the jar of peanut butter is really only 2 or 3 servings, instead of 14. Who eats only 2 tbsp of PB at a time??
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
I think I confessed everything on my most recent blog post. 🙂
Love Cracklin Oat Bran by the way!
Caitlin (EatFeats) says
I have a confession! My mood swings have been OUT OF CONTROL lately! I think I am going through a quarter-life crisis.
Beth says
My confession is I should be working right now, but I just had to take a break to read your blog. (Do I get bonus points for sucking up? :-P)
runeatrepeat says
Yes, I grant you 20 bonus points 🙂
Emily says
Sometimes thinking about a glass of wine on Friday afternoon gets me through the week.
Olivia N. says
Confession: I measure out 1 tablespoon of peanut butter every morning for my oats, but I still dip into the jar with my spoon and probably eat a whole extra tablespoon while my oats are cooking.
Susan says
My confession- I don’t like puppy chow! I think it’s the powdered sugar. I do unfortunately like thin mints and have eaten almost an entire box in the last week.
Jennifer V. says
Confession: I think about eating spoonfuls of paeanut butter with every meal because I love it so much. I usually don’t, but there have been a few times…
Christina says
My confession is that I really want some puppy chow right now. I’m just too lazy to make it. 🙂
My other confession is that I love Star Trek and I’m not really that ashamed to admit it.
April says
hehee…I think the bread debate is warranted! I have bagel thins, english muffins, AND regular bread just to cover all my bread cravings. A girl has to be prepared.
Thanks for the giveaway too! JM scares the holy crap out of me but she is good.
ashley says
Confession: I just ate an entire can of jalapeno pringles, in one sitting..oops 🙂
Carrie says
Confession: I’m getting to the age where I’m supposed to be starting to get baby fever…but all I want right now is a kitten! (shh don’t tell my mom)
runeatrepeat says
Ditto.
D says
My confession is…last night as I was preparing my overnight oats, they looked so good that they became “pre-bed oats”…
shayne says
i may or may not buy big costco sized tubs of Pilsbury cookie dough and just eat out all the chocolate chips…..
Yin says
I confess I actually do enjoy running 😉 I used to say it’s not my thing but now I can’t wait for warmer weather!
Yasmin says
OMG, I had no idea Jillian has a new DVD out now! I have all the BL and JM DVD’s and this would totally round out my collection. I have a confession….I am addicted to reality TV and spend way too much on groceries for one person!
runeatrepeat says
I spend way too much on groceries for 19 people and there are only two of us. I justify it that we’re 2 big people, but still….
Kara says
Holy crap, you get a lot of comments when you do a giveaway!
I try to get my husband to take the dog to work too, but it also doesn’t work 🙂
My confession: I had ice cream after lunch and I’m still going to have dessert tonight. Also, I gave my baby 2 french fries at lunch. Baby abuse!
Kelley says
Confession: I have a phobia of drinking water out of plastic tupperware style cups. I just can’t do it.
🙂 I need a little Jillian Michaels ab rehab. Woo hoo!!
Amanda says
Confession: I ate half a box of crackers last night. But the hubs didn’t see me do it, so it doesn’t count.
sally kate says
I have eaten half a tub of an already opened mint chocolate chip ice cream at a house I was house sitting for and hoped they wouldn’t notice how much was gone when they got back.
sally kate says
also i blame a certain gallon sized bag of puppy chow that was made by my best friends mom and given to me at christmas for all of my holiday weight gain. it traveled across country. i had to eat it. all. in 3 days.
runeatrepeat says
Since it’s a fact that food tastes better when someone else makes it, I can’t imagine how good that was!
Lizzy @ runbakerace says
My confession is that I don’t like oatmeal at all and I’ve never watched an episode of American Idol 🙂
Kianni says
I confess that I’m starting to accept that I really don’t like chocolate that much- no matter how much I try to convince myself since other people rave about how much they love it.. I prefer vanilla! XP
I’ve realized this everytime I get a swirl frozen yogurt, and find myself gravitating towards the vanilla side >.<""
Christy says
Confession – I have baked cookies and eaten them all before my husband comes home from work! Oops!
beth says
I always put my beaver sweet n hot mustard in a little side cup in the cafeteria so i don’t have to pay for it since sandwiches are weighed and i LOVE condiments and put A@! loads on!
Laura S. says
Confession: I should be working right now…oops.
Rose says
I confess that my job is going to become horribly depressing when my brother leaves on his world tour in a few months. Every few hours he wanders into my office with some weird theory (currently: if everyone did coke the world would be a more productive place). It is soooooo amusing, and breaks up the monotony of the day. I don’t know how I’m going to deal without that.
runeatrepeat says
That sounds like a theory Ben would come up with!
Sharon says
I had two bowls of icecream yesterday. I feel horrible about it since I’ve been eating it every night, than had TWO bowls. I am thinking I should forgive myself, it is winter so who cares till spring?? 🙂
runeatrepeat says
You should def forgive yourself and move on 🙂
Mary says
Confession: Even though I said I would never do it, I want to move near my parents. Not because it’s where they live, but because it would mean a much shorter commute for my husband who currently drives 80 miles one way to get to work M-F.
Eliz@The Sweet Life says
For one year, I ate Cheerios and chips a hoy cookies for dinner. Every night. Gross!
Sarah says
Ive been looking for this dvd everytime i go in to a store and cant find it anywhere!
I also go to the bathroom ALL the time. And i could care less where i go as long as i go. Priorities right?
And puppy chow=the greatest thing every and i have no control over either haha.
Lets see, my confession… I hate buying splenda/stevia since its free at any coffeeshop/gas station. So everytime i go in i load my purse. My moms convinced im going to get arrested for this!
sally kate says
tell your mom that everyones done this once. or twice. and sometimes you can get the flavored creamer cups when your in a bind as well 🙂
Amber K says
Confession: I am the pickiest eater in the world. I can’t even begin to explain what foods I like and what I don’t because there are so many exceptions to each thing. And I have strong opinions about what goes together. (Although I’m fine with whatever someone else wants to eat, as long as I don’t have to eat it!)
Oh my gosh, Chex Mix is addictive! But I don’t like puppy chow; I love this toffee mix from the Pioneer Woman:
http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/appetizers-and-snacks/butter-toffee-crunch/
Kathryn says
Even after a huge lunch I just had a bite of cookie dough..oops 🙂
Jessica says
Confession: I ate an entire jar of Naturally More Peanut Butter in one sitting a few weeks ago. I was going through PB withdrawals and just lost it. Darn those trigger foods!
Tyly says
I confess that I have been yo-yoing like crazy. I desire my old body back, but I haven’t put in the work to get there.
Kat says
Confession – I spent over half of the Surf City Half running straight but looking left hoping I’d see you out there. Kinda like my own celebrity sighting. Sadly, I didn’t see you. Maybe next race. 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Boo that you didn’t see me! Let me know if we’re doing the same race in the future and we’ll both play that game 🙂
Karen says
Confession: I sometimes use the same plate and cup for breakfast lunch and dinner because I hate doing dishes SO much! Hey, if I rinse and dry right after use, it LOOKS clean! haha
Love your blog BTW, you’re so funny 🙂
Rika says
I want abs!
Sarah says
Confession: I think it too me much longer than most to learn to appreciate alcohol because I was afraid of drinking my calories. Silly, silly girl.
Kelly says
My confession: I won’t buy CoCo Puffs for my kids because it has 0 nutritional value, but have no trouble polishing off a box myself.
Alyssa says
Confession – I spent an hour sitting and drinking coffee before work this morning and six minutes getting dressed/doing my hair/attempting to look slightly different from the way I did when I got out of bed.
Don’t enter me in the contest though, I already have Jillian, and I’ve already done the whole six week challenge and posted a review.
runeatrepeat says
Thanks for confessing even though you have a copy 🙂 I’m having a blast reading all the comments!
Kristen @ That Hoosier Girl says
Confession: I have to gear myself up in order to go outside to get the mail, but when the FedEx guy drops cookies off outside my door, I’m there in 2.2 seconds
Kelsey R says
I was so lazy last night that I went out in negative temperatures to get Chipotle for dinner….in my pajamas….without putting my bra back on! I mean I had a coat on and all….haha
Nicole says
Confession: I eat all the cookie dough from the ice cream right from the container and then eat the ice cream. I also eat ice cream or a yummy dessert nightly. (Trying to break this habit!) 🙂
Meghan says
Your posts never fail to entertain me!
Confession: I “stole” two handfuls of tootsie rolls from my gym today. They are my favorite thing to pop mid long run!
Michelle @ Chasing Ambulances says
I confess that I love not washing my hair because it saves me time in the morning 🙂
Lungs says
My confession is partly in response to Megan’s, who said she was halfway through lunch before she realized she hadn’t washed her silverware since yesterday’s lunch.
I NEVER wash my lunch silverware. It’s always just salad and I lick the fork at the end of each meal and… I just don’t care.
I do care about the video though and would love to win it!
Meg says
My boyfriend and I both started Weight Watchers on Jan 1. He’s lost 30 pounds and I’ve lost 7, all of which I lost in the first three weeks–I’ve plateaued since. My confession is that while I’m super proud of him for losing the weight, I’m also really jealous!
Karyn says
confession: i’ve been counting down the time until i can leave work….since the second i pulled into the lot. it’s going to be one of those days!
Christina says
Confession: I ate the rest of the ice cream and when Gamar asked if I saved him some I said there was only a little left….there wasn’t a little left and no I did not save him any.
Ellen says
confession: When I was at the gym yesterday I scoffed about cnn covering Lindsay Lohan’s arrival at court when there were more important things, like Egypt, to cover. Secretly I kindof enjoyed the frivolous break and wished I owned the dress she was wearing.
confession 2: I’m a major blog lurker and am always a little embarrassed when I step outside of google reader and leave a comment. I’m not sure why.
Joell says
I take “breaks” at work just to catch up on all my blog reading!
sheri @ sugarcoatedchef.com says
Ok… so what I love about you is the fact that you share things that no one else will! I find my broken toe nails fascinating as well… but have never thought to tell anyone that!
I am also a bad squatter in public bathrooms. Or maybe I’m just lazy and I don’t care. I went through a phase of triple layering toilet paper on the seat… and now I’m just over it.
Another confession- I have a shopping addiction! I used to hide my purchases from my parents, and now I hide them from my husband! I recently sold my car and now I’m trying to figure out a better hiding place than the truck of the car : )
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I used to do that with my parents and now I do it with Ben too!
Laura says
I went out of my way to Whole Foods during my lunch break because going there at 5:00 annoys the hell out of me because of all the people.
Martha Lilian says
I am actually a little bit happy that my boyfriend is going camping without me this weekend so that I can have the apartment and the remote all to myself! Also, so that I can eat mac and cheese non-stop without feeling bad that he can’t have any.
Jessica says
I have never had almond butter but I want to taste it sooooooooooo bad
Liz says
Confession: I’m postponing working on a report to read this blog post 😉
Ali @ Ali Runs says
Confession: I’m a Real Housewives addict. Every season, no matter what! It’s a problem.
2nd Confession: I asked for a Kindle for my birthday because I thought I would LOVE it and now I wish I could just read regular books. 🙁
Emily says
So I looked through and saw a couple confessions that other people have posted that I must confess to – I eat oatmeal every morning and will probably never get sick of it. I have also spent most of my day blog-hopping instead of working. Whoops. For a new confession – I like eating cold pasta with nothing on it. I eat it so fast that I get the hiccups. But that never slows me down!
Christine @ Merf In Progress says
I’m super bad at squatting. I was just telling my friends this the other day. They were surprised that I don’t just sit on the toilets at work. They seem to think that because the toilets are at work, they are somehow cleaner. I beg to differ.
I live in the D.C. area. As I look out my window at the bright sunny chilly day, I am so happy we aren’t having that craptastic weather this year.
sarah (sarah learns) says
confession: i have been reading blogs at my desk instead of working for the past hour. not good!
janae @hungryrunnergirl.com says
Girl, you are HILARIOUS!! your mom’s spaghetti looks amazing. Chex mix is my favorite thing in the world.
My confession: I just stole a student’s candy and I don’t even feel bad about it.
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I hardly eat junkfood but had a gluten test for today so I used it as an excuse to eat donuts, brownies, bagels, and everything else gluten that I don’t normally eat, just because it was the last time I might be able to eat it. 🙂
Katie says
I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday. Literally, the same thing (oatmeal), made the same way, everyday.

Maren says
I gave up tanning about a year ago and I started going again. I preach how bad it is, but I have been suffering from SAD this winter and it is helping me tremendously!…or at least that’s my excuse! Thanks for the giveaway! Jillian Michaels is a beast!!
Kate says
Confession: I called my brother yesterday. He meant to hit ignore cause he was at work (he works at a fancy restaurant), but answered instead. Like the creeper I am, I just sat there and listened while he tried to take someone’s dinner order. Can’t decide if that puts me in the “how cute that you miss your brother so much” or the “wow, you might actually be dangerous if this ever escalates” category.
Amanda says
Confession: I rework song lyrics to rhyme with my cats nicknames and sing them to my cats…… yeeaaahhhhh….. I’m steadily climbing toward ‘crazy old cat lady status’. Bonus: my cat Yoda enjoys her songs (I think) & my boyfriend sings one of the less-weird songs.
Amy Ramos says
Confession: I could eat Nutella for breakfast, lunch and dinner and not feel guilty about it!
Caroline says
I would love to have that DVD! I really like all Jillian/Bob/Biggest Loser DVDs!
Confession: I think I am more productive when I have more to do. I am not working currently as I went back to school but I think I actually get more accomplished when I have more on my plate.
Confession #2: I wish I was a super organized person. I would love to have lots of money to spend on containers, labels, etc. But then I would actually have to motivate to organize it…and back to confession #1.
Sara says
Great giveaway!
Confession: I end way too many days eating a half a bag of cereal. I always say that I’ll start over the next day, and I always do…until night takes over. Boo. 🙁
Jamie in Arkansas says
Confession:
I’ve been reading blogs all day at work instead of doing my job. Oops. 😉

Also, about to tweet this giveaway 🙂

My roommates mom sent her puppy chow because she just broke up with her boyfriend. Confession: I ate most of it 🙂
Chelsea says
Confession: I ordered a tall skinny caramel macchiato at Starbucks today and they gave me a grande. I didn’t correct them.
Melissa says
Even though I tend to think I’m hardcore about running, I confess that it takes me arguing with myself (about whether or not to just skip it) for about 20 minutes each and every time. Just do it already. Sheesh! I should just skip the argument and be done 20 minutes earlier.
Erin (Travel Eat Repeat) says
I love being busy and having friends/family around but I really want to cancel everything and have a free day.
Shannon says
Love this post – great confessions!
Confession: Sometimes I take the subway 1 stop to the gym to avoid walking through Times Square. It’s too crowded and bright for me.

Okay, I have another confession then – I used chopped up Hershey’s kisses because she didn’t have choc chips.
Shani says
Last night I ate a whole container of almond butter. Then I had a protein smoothie mixed with peanut butter. Shameful I know 🙂
Katie Photiadis says
I love this post! Let’s see, a good confession…
1. I take pictures of myself with my phone because they make me look “thinner.”
2. I worry that I secretly like one of my cats more than the other. Yup, I prefer the anti-social one =)
5. I always put an entire banana in my oatmeal and sometimes I splurge and add peanut butter and chocolate chips. So delicious =)
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Ohh I’ve wanted to try that for so long! I have The Shred, and love it, especially when I’ve done it enough that I can mute Jillian. 😉
Confession: If you met me at 3-5p on Fridays in my office, you probably wouldn’t want to be my friend. I get wacky and run around my office doing weird things.
Molly @ MollyRunsFresh says
Confession: I paid $5 for a choir to go to my Mom’s work on Valentine’s day and deliver her a singing valentine… she will be super suprised <3

Hallie says
Confession…I read blogs at work! Such a terrible habit. I also eat something chocolate-related every.single.day.
Kelly says
My husband and I talk about Bring your Dog to Work Day all the time! My related confession: I talk to my dog like he understands me all the time. He really enjoys it, I can tell. 🙂
Also, Cracklin Oat Brad should just be called “crack”. Have you tried making oats with 1/2 water 1/2 almond milk? That’s my tried and true method.

Maddie says
I was supposed to work out today but I skipped it in favor of watch 30 Rock reruns.
Dorry says
I thought Ben was wearing suspenders in that picture. Turns out it’s his backpack, but for the record, I like suspenders! I can imagine it would be hard to turn down a free entry for a marathon (and the shirt! think of the shirt!). 😉
I’d love to bring Jillian into my living room to yell at me.
chandra says
Confession: I didn’t run like I was supposed to this morning, and now I have to sub BodyPump tonight… I might try to run before… but I might not.
And I’m going to go get peanut butter m&ms from the vendo at work now.
Sarah E. says
I firmly believe that any candy that is broken (i.e. candy corn, M&Ms, etc.) doesn’t really have caloric value.
Lo says

xoxo.
Shellie says
Confession:
I really really wanted “6 Week 6 Pack” but went with a different workout DVD because it cost less than my $10 Target gift card. I really hate the other DVD I went with.
Sara says
Confession: I have made puppy chow before and spilled it all over the floor in the process of shaking it with the powdered sugar. I may have still eaten a good portion of it before throwing it away. Whoops!

Confession: I’m a nutrition student, but I eat food thats terrible for me because I’m afraid I’ll have to actually give it up one day. haha. terrible way to look at things i know.
Amy says
Puppy Chow…confession I will make this as a treat for my friends coming on Saturday but really just because I am now craving it.
Confession: I use any excuse I can to make desserts…my two year old is a good one. Someone has to teach her to bake right!
Heather says
confession: I bought so much candy at Christmas I am still eating it..and I eat some every day.
Mollyberries says
1) I yell at my husband from drinking straight from the orange juice jug. But when he isn’t looking, I drink from it. Whoops.
2) When it’s ‘that time of the month’, my husband is EXTRA nice to me (actually does housework without me asking, goes to the store and gets me treats to make me feel better, etc.). Sometimes I pretend I am still on my period so that the extra special treatment lasts a day or two longer. Is that bad? 🙂
Lara @ six times the yum says
Confession: I am single and I plan to make myself (and buy for myself) chocolate treats on v-day, so I don’t feel left-out. 🙂
natalie (the sweets life) says
omg i LOVE puppy chow. i’m dangerous around that stuff!
confession–my hubs is out of town so i’m purposefully eating the stuff i normally don’t want to share with him (like lots and lots of kale chips–lame, but we always fight over them!)
Anne @thefitbridesmaid says
#1 – I just ate my afternoon snack in the car on the way back from lunch at home.
#2 – I used to make the puppy chow mixture in smaller quantities and put it over any cereal I had on hand (like Crispix or Rice Krispies) and eat it for dessert at night.
Coco says
Confession: I’ve only worked out once this week. I try to get in at least 4. Oh well, nothing to beat myself up over!

As soon as I saw you made Puppy Chow, my mouth started watering and I will go buy the ingredients tonight… even though I really use my time better 😉
Rachel H says
Confession – I have eaten several handfuls of dove chocolate hearts and we are still 4 days away from Valentine’s Day…

Confession: I have changed the TP in a friend’s bathroom to fold over the top because it rolling from below annoys me so much.
shan says
confession: i have not washed my jeans in a month. and i’m wearing them now – at work. and i don’t even feel all that bad about it.
confession #2: i hope you post more about ben’s couch to 5k experience! i’m doing the runners world plan now (for like the 10th time) and i like to know that not everyone considers 8 miles a short run:)
chandra says
I hate washing my jeans because they’re always tighter after and I hate re-strentching them. I maybe wash mine once a month unless I spill something on them and I don’t feel bad about it. 🙂
Gretchen says
I leave IM and FB open while I’m working in hopes that people “stop by” and I will have a good excuse to take a break.
Lindsey says
Confession- It’s almost 1:30 and I’m still in my pajamas eating about 500 pistachios…yum.

Confession: I generally don’t enjoy listening to music while I run…except Beyonce! I may or may not have listened to one song on repeat for the last two miles of my tempo workout today!
Emily G says
I can’t buy fruit snacks because I will eat an entire box of 10 packets at once. And then feel really sick and regret it. But do it again the next time.
Jess (Daly Authenticity) says
Confession: I felt slightly odd when I thought of you this morning as I was in the grocery store debating whether to buy my first box of Dark Chocolate Vitatops. I told myself, “Monica would approve” so I made the plunge and bought them.
