Confession Thursday…
Confession… This morning I woke up to this sight – the candles I lit yesterday were still on! I forgot to blow them out!?!?!?! I am really pissed at myself about this, super out of character. Get it together Monican!
Confession…. last night I went out and tried to be fancy, but my bangs are a shaggy tragedy. So instead of getting a hair cut like a lady I just pin them back in my polka dot clips. #classy
Confession… today is a rest day so I just took a walk. Sometimes on rest days I get jelly of people I see running. Lucky!
Confession… I love sweet potatoes (like if I make more than one at a time I’ll eat them all – 3 is probably my record). That might be why my hair is so orange.
Confession… I bought a bathing suit yesterday. Yes it’s the beginning of February and I don’t have a beach vacation planned, but sometimes Target runs out of the size/style I want so I needed to get on it!
Confession… I am very hesitant to wear anything but black colored leggings or running pants. But, Sweaty Betty sent me these running pants with a design on the bottom and it’s taking me out of my comfort zone a tiny bit.
Confession…. The only reason I bought this iced coffee the other day was so I had an excuse to go up to the coffee counter because they have muffin samples. And I took two.
Question: Don’t leave me hanging – confess something to the class!
True story: I returned from a race today to see eight fire trucks in front of my apartment building. Neighbor left a smoldering cigarette in a plant on his porch and the building caught fire. Lolz. Glad the candles didn’t cause any trouble. 🙂
I REEEEEALLY need to get a bathing suit but keep putting it off. I have one suit I like and that’s it, haha. confession: i’ve been stealing my bf’s cereal for breakfast all week. why is cereal so freakin’ good?!
Confession-I TRY to get dressed nicely for work daily, although we have a ‘casual attire’. But when its 1 degree out, and snowy, I just want to wear my leggings and bulky sweater w/snow boots : (
Confession: I have Nutter Butter Peanut Butter cookies EVERY single day for breakfast! They make me so happy! I am currently training for the Boston Marathon. In preparation, I am doing some add’l weight training with a trainer. She was trying to tell me that we needed to change my breakfast. I actually waggled my finger in front of her face and told her that was a non-negotiable.
Confession: I have eaten really clean all week but my apartment crepe party tonight was the opposite of healthy. And that’s ok!
That sounds like my kinda party!!
Those pants are cute. I am all about color for my leggings. I like to stand out since I have almost been ran over by a car. Confession: I am actually in San Diego right now for an interview. I will be here for less than 24hours. Fingers crossed I do well.
I have been following your blog for a while – always very inspiring! Today, i’m officially jealous of you and your running, even if it a rest day for you — yes, jealous but maybe not for the reasons most people would! Yes, you are a great runner, incredible runner (bravo! You should be proud), you are funny and witty, you look awesome (any other adjective would make this weird!) , you overcame many obstacles (like any of us human ….and we will continue to face them head on, running!)….Those would be good reasons to be jealous of someone but not me! I’m jealous of your WEATHER…. Even if it looks foggy in your blog’s pic, it is probably better than the consistent minus 25 degree Celcius to minus 32 degree Celcius (-13 Farenheight to -26 F) we have face since early January… Almost a full month of that weather is malking me crazy and i’m missing MY running. I can run in up to -20 (well, technically down to -25) but lower than that, not much, not often! Run on sister! From a jealous Canadian runner!!!!
Confession: I try almost everyday to wear more colourful pants, and somehow I end up in black every time.
Love the blog! Thanks for the inspiration and laughs!
Thank you for reading 🙂
Confession(s):
1 – I only did 2 sets at the gym today instead of 3. Now I feel like a slug.
2 – I bought 2 (or was it 3) bathing suits off the net and realized too late they were coming from China. It’s been a month and they haven’t shown up. So long that I can’t remember how many I got. The real confession is that it was spontaneous buying. I hope they arrive eventually. I think they were cute.
3 – I did homework today when I should have been working.
(done – for now!)
Confession: I need to get my RER fix EVERY-DAY. One entry a day is not enough for me Monican!!!! Soooo…. I have been going through your older posts from years back to catch up on what I’ve missed. You are so inspirational and I live vicariously through you …ok I’m done. Needless to say I love your blog ☺.
Totally with you on the samples…anytime I see something that looks good, I’m THERE.
I love Target bathing suits they are great!
Hmmm my confession would be that I should be studying for my NASM exam, but I am dicking around on the computer instead.
Those tights are awesome! I’m a sucker for any non-plain black bottoms. I get so bored!
Confession: my coworker brought in brownies to share and I’ve had 2 already and no one else has had any. Whoops!
Confession: I just found a dead bug and covered it up with a placemat so my boyfriend can remove it when he gets home.
Ha! I do that too! 🙂
Confession: I am really bad at knowing the difference between “rest” and “laziness” so I often label my laziness as “needing rest”. Ouch that’s hard to admit!
I’m with you on the all-black bottoms! I learned that when I was teaching Zumba and getting some embarrassing sweat-stains. 🙁
Confession: I ate Reese’s Pieces for breakfast yesterday
I eat mostly paleo but have slacked off lately. I was suppose to be cleaning it up this week , but I got a craving for a Jimmy John’s sub. I ate that 8 inch tuna sandwich like it was my job. I also took a two hour nap this morning after my workout. Oh well, you only live once. Haha!
Confession:
#1 I almost always over dress when I run in the cold weather in Iowa. I cannot seem to find the balance.
#2 I get annoyed when hubby reads recipes to me constantly. I don’t know why. lol
I love to wear brightly colored clothes when I run, so black or no black isn’t an issue for me, the issue is the cheap running tights are almost always black!
I love that you bought a coffee just for free muffins! 🙂
Confession: I just found out I’m expecting and I’m exhausted, so sometimes I hide in the bathroom at work to take a break!
I tried on these gorgeous looking capris this week but they were patterned and looked tragic on. Wah-wah. So I feel yah. I’m going to need to check those out, I love the details around the legs!
Confession: sometimes I pretend I’m busy when I’m really just surfing blogs.
Confession – I always eat my breakfast AND snack back to back even though I know I’m going to get hangry in the afternoon. My present self is never nice to my future self 🙁
Confession – I am incapable of going to the grocery store and only buying things on my list. Yesterday’s additions included ice cream and red velvet oreos. Today was healthier, and only an extra bag of cuties jumped into the basket.
I haven’t washed my hair in 4 days!
Confession: I just went through my old photos for over an hour to find the perfect Throwback Thursday shot and realized I’ve posted them all! #fail.
I better just worry/focus on my future….which right now means getting off the darn computer and taking the dog out for a walk. I love leggings with some pattern at the bottom. It helps balance me out =)
I love, love, love those tights. And I went right over to Sweaty Betty to look at them. And I love them more. Except that they’re outside my price range. Ah well. Champagne tastes…
Now I want champagne…
Confession – I skipped my run this morning for 30 minutes of extra snuggles with my cat (and husband, but it was really the cat). Now I feel guilty.
Never feel guilty for loving up a cat 🙂
I thought I was the only person who only wears black shorts/capris/leggings! The colored and patterned ones are fun but…I stay in my comfort zone for this one. Black is where it’s at.
Confession: I was supposed to run last night, but made tacos and had wine instead. Taco Wednesday can be a thing, too, right?
I’ve seen a few too many inappropriately placed sweat stained to get out of my black bottom comfort zone 🙂
Taco Wednesday, let’s totally make that a thing 🙂
You know in addition to wine Wednesday…
thus post made me laugh so much! You are too cute! Everyone has those quirky things about them!
Thanks Kristi 🙂
First!
Confession: I still find it annoyingly funny when people put first on comment boards like it’s 1999.
Ha! I think it’s funny that people even do that on Instagram 🙂
