What resolution won’t this Monican do???
Well, after reading them out loud to a friend it was pointed out that I would probably do all of the last three:
“I won’t black out due to intoxication.” (Again?)
“I won’t try and outdrink an Irishman.” (My favorite comment from this post says I can take him.)
“I won’t get plastic surgery in a third world country.” (I’ve considered getting a boob job in Colombia. Don’t judge.)
It’s all true on some level.

Monica from Run Eat Repeat answers:
1. I’ve gained weight since getting married. How do you stay healthy when your significant other isn’t and eats Doritos all night?
2. I want to try online dating, but I’m nervous. Thoughts??

I love your blog and read every day – I love your Ask a Monican posts.
BUT, I have to heat you up a little… I’m a girl and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE football!! It’s not only a “boy” thing!!!
Had to take the jab since nobody else has yet!! 😉
I was actually surprised the football fans didn’t say something yet 🙂 I know it’s for girls too 😉
I can admit, I try too hard to get my husband involved in my healthy lifestyle.
Yay for online dating. I’m always a bit shy when I talk about meeting my husband online but seriously so much easier when weeding out the crazies.
You’re totally right, men just don’t prioritize healthy living/diet the way women do. On some levels, it’s because it isn’t as big of a “struggle” for them. On another level, I just don’t think they’re as vain as we are. My hubs snacks all night long. I hate him for it. He never pressures me to eat anything though, so I only have myself to blame if I give into temptation.
Met my husband on Match.com…. I definitely suggest online dating to people who are thinking about it or are frustrated they can’t meet people. I mean– gotta be careful– there are a LOT of crazy people out there (Catfish, anyone?!?), but there are crazy people at bars too so I say just use your brain and it’ll be OK. And, like you said– what do you have to lose?
*Colombia not Columbia
yeah eharmony! met whit there and going on two years dating!! 😀
How did I forget that little detail?!
Ha! You are so fantastic!
Your Ask a Monican’s always make me laugh. Love when you are thinking of ways to word things diplomatically. Priceless.
Anyways… Great post.
Ha! It’s hard for me to be diplomatic – I’m so not IRL.
hahaha “they just have like one less beer a week and they lose 20 pounds” so true!
As i added a reminder to my to do list to view this vlog i discovered my iPhone autocorrects Monican to minivan. Lol.
Ha! Same difference?
I’ve been on some other online dating sites, and it totally seems like onenightstand.com! I may have to try out eharmony one of these days.
I didn’t know you met Ben online! That’s awesome! There’s hope for me yet. LOL
I loved both your answers in this video!
You’re a hoot. I think someone should give you a talk show! I would totally watch.
Thank you Becca 🙂
Great advice! I love that you are non-judgmental to those aroun you. I feel like a lot of people who are really into their diets or training plans do push them on other people, sometimes without meaning to I’m sure, but they can inadvertently make others feel bad about themselves.
Great advice on sticking to your schedule. I’m also not one to wait for someone to come with me to work out, it’s all on you!
VERY true – guys just do NOT think the way we do about food/dieting/being aware.
I support online dating!!1
Here’s my question: if somebody was gonna go on a run with you at Fitbloggin’ and after 100 yards or so claimed that they twisted their trick knee that they injured playing football in college and even though they’d really like to continue running, he’d better go rest it up at the bar… would you believe that?
Yay eHarmony! That’s how I met my (super-sweet kind loving) husband! (We both have close friends that have met their spouses via eHarmony as well!)
Yeah!
Really good advice about living with someone with eating habits less healthy than yours.
Loving your hair in this video!
Thank you 🙂
