Confession Time. Warning: I like it dirty.
Confession#1: 9 times out of 10 I don’t wash my fruit. Today I washed my grapes and proceeded to drop the whole clean bowl of them on the floor. Now I had to wash them twice! I think this is the universe’s way of telling me to stick with my “Dirty grapes are okay policy”.
#2: It’s almost like I go out of my way to not match when I run. I don’t, but it’s almost like that.
Orange socks, light blue shorts, a pink shirt. I didn’t run until 11am, so I can’t claim that I got dressed in the dark.
Confession #3: While taking the above picture I realized my favorite visor – the one I wear on every long run and was planning on wearing to the race this weekend – is falling apart at the brim.
It needs to be washed, but I’m afraid that washing it will make it fall apart even more and I reeeeeeallly want to keep it together and I promise I’ll get a new one after Sunday.
Should I wear it dirty (it’s super gross) or take a chance and wash it?
Confession #4: I drank more La Croch ( yes, I call it la croch) in the last 24 hours than I’d care to admit. Ironic as this is a confession post, no?
Confession #5: I pretty much snack while making every meal. I’ve decided to embrace it and call this my “Appetizer”
#5.5: The fact that my lunch was so quick and easy to make really makes my appetizer ridiculous, but it’s the truth.
Confession #6: So, I have an Appetizer, Main Dish and now Dessert with every meal? Yes. I’m not proud of it, but yes.
Confession #7: Every time I ate an apple on it’s own I just get hungrier. So, why do I keep doing that? I have no answer for that right now. Maybe it’s all that dirt I’m consuming that affects my stomach. You know, ‘cause I didn’t wash it…
Confession #8: I could have 100% predicted I would have a horribly snacky afternoon because I am super tired from being up since 4am. I should have made a game plan to prevent it. 🙁 It gets worse than this.
Confession #9: I’m leaning towards leaving the hat dirty. I guess I’m not making any friends at this race. That’s okay, I like it dirty 😉
Question: Do you have anything to confess?
Olivia @ Blissful Runner says
OMG. Apple’s make my stomach growl in the worst way. Whenever I ask other people if apples make them hungrier they look at me like I’m crazy. What’s THAT about?
Paige @ Running Around Normal says
When I was about 10, I ate a whole bag full of unwashed grapes, and then about 30 minutes later, my back broke out in a horrible rash! I think it goes without saying I always wash my fruit! 😛
Emily says
I don’t wash my fruit unless there’s visible dirt.
Lisa says
Hmmm….I had no idea we were supposed to wear matching clothes when running. Yikes! None of my stuff ever matches. lol
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
I often don’t wash my produce either. This is something I’d only admit on the internet, I am 100% sure i would lie about this while looking most people in the eyes. (even if I’m eating a dirty grape right from the display at the grocery store while I’m lying)
Jen says
Handwash just the parts that touch your head and leave the brim alone. And I ADORE La Croix. I just wish it wasn’t so darn expensive!
Amber K says
Apples always make me hungrier after eating too. And I wash them! Something about them just inflames my hunger!
Confession: I am totally not doing well with my celiac diagnosis. I’m not feeling any better and I don’t think I could ever really share just how upset and frustrated I am!
Theresa @ActiveEggplant says
Confession: I don’t wash my fruit either. SO glad to hear I’m not the only one!
And I say go with the dirty visor! It’s just a visor…not like wearing dirty shorts!
Sami says
CONFESSION: sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night craving carbs. last night the satisfier was a bowl of oatmeal squares with fat free milk 🙂 slept like a baby after that! haha.
Heather says
I’m lovin this post. I don’t wash my produce like I should either – hasn’t killed me yet……..
And dirty running hats show that you actually RUN and workout, and they’re not just for looks. I think it just proves you’re pretty bad azz.. 🙂
Rose says
Last night I was talking to bloggers about how fun you are. Now this post made me miss you. DANGIT MONICA.
Jessica says
If you are really just worried about it falling apart…stick it in the dishwasher top rack…
works like a charm….
Katy says
I feel FREE! I don’t usually wash my fruit, either…except when I know other people will be eating it. I buy organic as much as I can, so that’s my justification. But whatevs.
I confess: moments after I talked a friend away from her 5th cookie last night, I polished off my third Casteel cherry beer. Meh…balance, right?
And by the way — I vote for dirty hat. Think of the baseball players that refuse to wash their hat in the playoffs, because it could wash off the good luck. You’re just being smart!
Becky says
I eat dirty fruit and I wear dirty running hats. It’s OK to be gross. You are running a marathon!
Lauren says
Okay, so I definitely hardly ever wash my fruit either. Right now, I’m eating strawberries that were not rinsed! Ah, I thought I was the only one. So glad to hear that other normal people do the same.
And I totally get you on the apple thing! I ALWAYS get hungrier. I usually eat the apple to spark my hunger and it works everytime.
Sarah says
I don’t wash my fruit, either! Also, I don’t know how to buy well-fitting jeans. My clothes are wearing out, and I don’t know how to sew.
And I haven’t been to the dentist in 4 years.
Naomi(onefitfoodie) says
haha love this post…yep I dont wash my fruit ALL the time either, I do tend to wash veggies becuse I can more acutally SEE the dirt, but fruit…meh sometimes yes most of the time no.
I also usually have unmatching socks on, but when I wear pants I mean whats the big deal? no one can acutally see right?
I also like to bust out singing to songs i hear on the radio when i am in my car, ahhh it feels good!
Courtney (Pancakes & Postcards) says
I don’t wash my fruit much either. I tell myself its because our immune systems NEED a little bit of unhealthy stuff to keep them strong! Don’t wash the hat.
Amanda says
Don’t wash it! I’m really weird about changing things before race day….
chandra says
I don’t wash my fruit either… It builds up the immune system! 😉
I’d also like to confess I just sent an email inviting some friends to a movie tomorrow night… because I really want movie theater popcorn. Oh, and I do want to see The Social Network.
I also have the same problem with apples. I have to eat them with string cheese or pb to make them hold me over even a tiny bit.
MarathonVal says
Dirty is fine too 🙂 but I wash my Brooks mesh running hat after almost every long run because I get veeeeery sweaty. It never seems to do any harm, although I make sure not to dry it so that it doesn’t shrink!
Lived in Wien! says
I would pair the apple with a protein, so you won’t feel as hungry after. At least that’s why my registered dietician says.
Jess says
I rarely wash my fruit, too. Oops!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
I rarely wash my fruit unless there’s visible dirt. Especially since it’s usually organic and, hey, a little dirt can’t hurt. 😉
Confession: I judge people by what they have in their basket at the grocery store. I know it’s a terrible, bad habit but… seriously??
Natalie says
I have to confess that I sometimes were the same sports bra twice…I just let it air dry and wear it again. I figure it is just going to get sweaty again!
Matthew says
Confession: I ALWAYS wash my fruit. I am a clean/neat/tidy psycho. I think that is why I am single.
Lee says
Umm, I don’t change my sheets as often as I should. Gross, right?
Evan Thomas says
I don’t know how often is often enough, but last year mine got washed twice…
alison says
You make me laugh. I don’t have anything to confess, but I sure did enjoy reading yours.
Also, I wear the same running shoes as you, but I make it a priority to wear matching workout clothes. Because I’m uptight like that.
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write says
I think you should leave the hat dirty.
Also, I’m super snacky if I get up early. Fact.
My confession is that I will happily wash dishes, but I will pretty much never put them away. I’ve also had clean dishes sitting in the dishwasher since Sunday, praying the hubs would figure it out and put them away. They may make it a week in there. :p
Karyn says
10/10 i don’t wash my fruit. oops. and YAY popcorn! i am on a popcorn kick right now 🙂
Evan Thomas says
I would like to confess that I need to tone up my abs and possibly lose a few lbs there but am a worse dieter than Queen Letifah
runeatrepeat says
I think you’re perfect just like you are 🙂
And Queen Latifah might come kick your ass, but I’ve got your back.
Evan Thomas says
Thank you. Together I think we can take her
Sana says
You are awesome! But skype me and we can do a fun ab workout together! It is what I do for a living ( you know other than being a student)
