I feel like a Confession Thursday post is particularly appropriate during Lent. Don’t you?
This is me after my First Holy Communion While I don’t have any confessions that would make the priest drop his bible (today anyways), this is a less-than-pleasant post because I had a visit to the gyno today.
Confession #1: I call it a “vagine” pronounced “vaj-een”, but foreign-ish. Like that particular part of my body is French or something. I dunno. All I know is, I hate vay-jay-jay. It’s not a child’s toy by Mattel, it’s a vagine.
There is so much good baby news going on in the blog-world this week! First Emily and Sabrina and then another friend called with baby news too!
It’s in the water. Be careful
Today’s appointment was my annual check-up and I had a good convo with the doc to make sure we were okay on my personal baby timeline (which I’m not sharing in case I change my mind because I’m flighty), birth control and the like.
She said we have time to wait if we wanted or could we go for it right now. I think I have a good idea of when we want to try and I’ll let you know when I am fairly certain I’m not gonna change my mind.
Confession #2: I drink a lot of water and when I was watching 127 hours I actually thought drinking my pee wouldn’t be as bad as drinking most.
Confession #3: I said the F word 2 times in traffic this morning. But I was “good” all day yesterday and have been ever since.
Confession #4: It is over 80 degrees today. This isn’t a confession so much as an opportunity to Thank God
Confession #5: I firmly believe in food rewards, probably always will. Since I couldn’t have a “sweet treat” after my gyno exam I treated myself with an iced tea.
Lunch: Since I was in my mom’s neighborhood for my doctor’s appointment I went to raid her fridge for lunch.
It’s a big fridge. We’re not fat by accident.
She had a good find too! Super hummus from Nasoya. I liked it with chips, but not straight up (normally I can eat hummus like it’s ice cream).
I put together a random bowl of wonderful – broccoli on the bottom, homemade smashed pinto beans with avocado, sweet potato and a piece of fish.
My real food reward came post-lunch. I wanted a Bionico. It’s a Mexican fruit salad with sweet cream and granola on top.
I opted for cottage cheese instead of sweet cream because that totally would have been cheating.
Confession #6: I’m pretty sure this is meant to feed 8 people. Or 1 Monica.
Confession #7: The other day I drank an entire liter of Diet Dr. Pepper in one afternoon. I thought giving up sweets would be the hard part, but diet soda is proving to kill me too
Confession #8: I’m probably half way done with the PB I bought less than 24 hours ago. It’s really random because I don’t normally binge on nut butter. I ate a lot yesterday in general. I blame being tired. I know it’s not because I am dehydrated because you know…(see above)
Confession #9: I had a fun surprise date night planned for Ben and I tonight, but he guessed what it is so now I want to change it… but I’m too lazy.
Confession #10: 97% of my jokes are not funny. Like when I asked the nurse if she was a vampire because she was trying to take my blood. She didn’t laugh.They can’t all be winners.

Thanks for the shout out!!!!
runeatrepeat says
Congrat’s and God Bless!!! I am very excited (and curious) to follow along with you through your baby baking and baby taking care of time 🙂
Jessi @ Quirky Cookery says
I am in absolute love with your random bowls of food. Those are the kinds of bowls I make and get weird looks for, but often times, I don’t want just one thing….I want several little things together, hehe.
natalie (the sweets life) says
that fridge is large and in charge. and awesome. so is that fruit salad. i want one!!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
Damn, that’s a huge fridge. Almost like a walk-in!
Amber K says
Hummus that you don’t want to just sit and eat with a spoon? Crazy.
But on another note, I NEED that fridge! I absolutely need a place to actually keep all of my food so I can find it!
Caitlin @ TPL says
I killed a jar of naturally more almond on one week of vacation. I’ve also been out for ice cream 4 times this week and intend to go again tonight!
Jen, a priorfatgirl says
Well, you’ve done it—you’ve just taken our relationship to the next level by showing us your pee. I’m just sure if I’m honored or grossed out. Either way, I know I love you!
Carly says
I don’t have any confessions for today’s post, although it literally made me laugh out loud…I love your sense of humor!
Kara says
If my vote counts, I want you to start procreating stat. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on pregnancy 🙂
Caitlin (EatFeats) says
I love my gynecologists–I’m thinking about getting pregnant so I can see her ALL THE TIME.
Also I agree about the vajayjay thing. Only Oprah can get away with that word, and even then only because she is really rich.
Amanda says
Va-jay-jay is such an annoying term! Vagine…. now THATS a word!
HeatherBakes says
Oh my god, this post made me laugh. I’m jealous of both your hydration AND that fruit salad… do you think they have places like that in TX?? Or is it just a CA thing? (The salad, not the pee)
Ella says
Oh my gosh you SLAY me!! “It’s not a child’s toy by Mattel, it’s a vagine.” “We’re not fat by accident.” An actual picture of your urine… I am dying. Your sense of humor is similar to mine, except you’re more comfortable saying sex jokes (I just laugh hysterically at them) while I am known for my fart and crap jokes… speaking of which, we don’t see a lot of those on the blog. Maybe you draw the line there? 😉
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
Ha! I’m glad the pictures didn’t go any farther than the OBGYN table. But still hilarious you brought a camera in there.
Jen says
I have been trying to notice trends around overeating and being tired is a huge trigger for me. I just keep eating and eating trying to get energy and wake up. It doesn’t work, but it is instinct now. That bionico looks amazing!
Paige says
Ha! Totally laughed at your vampire joke 😉
Kianni says
WINNING!
Lol, sorry, you left off with the word “winners” so that’s what came to mind hehe >.>
Confession – I live in East LA and have never had a bionico..there’s at least three places right near me, but I never get one because there’s so many to pick I feel overwhelmed and never get anything! Or a raspado..or anything with sweet cream..I want to try one but I need someone to go with me and get one so I won’t be afraid to pick the “wrong” one..ha, as it seems like what ever I pick always seems to be a fail, while other peoples choices end up awesome XP
Sana says
Your pee is sooo clear. I am scared to drink water, because I peed in my pants a few weeks ago….
chandra says
I FIXED IT!! I CAN SEE YOUR BLOG AGAIN!!!
Confession: Today I wish I lived in SoCal.
cindylu says
I’ve seen fruit trucks selling bionicos but thought they were more like a licuado than what you posted. They look delicious!
My favorite Mexican way to eat fruit is chopped with lime, chile and salt. So delicious.
Julie @ Lettuce Choose Healthy says
bahah i love #10 .. i totally would have laughed .. where did peoples sense of humor go!?
that fridge is the same size we use at culinary school!
alison says
I hate vay-jay-jay, too. Vagine is a much better term. Classy. 😉
My sister in law has a big fridge like that. She’s expecting her 8th kid, so they need a place to store all the milk they go through. Seriously, they keep like 14 gallons in there at all times.
Maryann (The Balanced Bean) says
That fruit bowl looks amazing!!
Karyn says
hahhaha. confession: i call my ob/gyn my vagina doctor. that’s exactly how it’s labeled in my phone!
Christine says
I always use food rewards- that’s why I run and run and run and never lose much weight (I don’t really NEED to, but I should weigh less for how I active I am). For some reason I have it in my head that every run over 8 miles deserves a stop at the build your own frozen yogurt place on the way home. The yogurt is fat free. The toppings are not. Sigh.
Amanda says
I am literally wishing we could be BFFs right now. You crack me up. I needed that.
Andy says vagine too. Like Borat. I thought you were about to announce a baby on the way. I keep debating on our timeline. I should probably get a paying job first.
I laughed at the vampire joke. I’m teaching my students “Dracula” this month.
emily @ the happy home says
that is an AWESOME fridge. and lovin’ that your confident enough to photo your pee. did anyone ask what you were doing?
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
I’ve had a liter of diet coke in one MEAL!
Ally (oatsandspice) says
OMG that is my dream fridge – SOOO hugeee! Love it!
Lisa says
That fridge is HUGE! Wow!
Matt @ The Athlete's Plate says
Is that hummus any good? I really want to try it!
runeatrepeat says
I liked it. I think it’s pretty garlic-y which I like, but the green spots (that were spinach) were kinda weird at first.
Kristy @ KristyRuns says
That is the biggest fridge ever! But she does always have the best food! 😉
hippierunner says
That vampire joke was funny! And how the heck have I never heard of a bionico before?! I mean, I’m Mexican and have lived in Los Angeles all my life, seriously how was this kept hidden from me?!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
What a fun post! I liked all of your confessions, and I love that big fridge!!!! Want! lol
I feel like posting my Communion pics now, haha.
Groff's Girl says
I just had to do my annual….twice (one off base for US Visa purposes….not sure why my vagine has anything to do with my green card status…whatevs! Hope you have a fun date night…I am on the prowl for a sitter so we can have one…it has been almost a year!
JW @ Wine Will Fix It says
I think you’re funny! And I’m not sure I have the vagine to put my urine on the internets, so go you!
Stephanie says
I thought this was a winner of a post, though. So funny!
