I was going to skip Confession Thursday this week because I didn’t really have anything to confess. Well, I didn’t until Ben woke me up last night to “talk” …
Confession #1. We stayed up late talking and ended up eating frozen pizza at 1am. Sometimes talking requires fuel 
But, I’m totally mad at him for causing me to break my no night time eating challenge. Boo.
Confession #2. I show you pictures where I look like this…
But, I really look like this… *Note the pimple and lack of hygiene.
Sure, I’m as hungry as a 16 year old boy, but I don’t know why I keep getting pimples like one too?! Random tip: I put a drop of knock-off Visine on my pimples to get the red out.
Confession #3: A cat in the hamper makes for hours of laughs.
Well, laughs for you – the cat not so much.
Confession #4: I really should have given up chewing gum for Lent. I bring “pack-a-day-habit” a whole new meaning.
Confession #5: I only made oat bran for breakfast because I had pumpkin to “use up”. But, as soon as it was done I thought I’d rather throw away the dumb pumpkin than eat this. 
Luckily, it was better than I expected and I didn’t throw it away 
In the bowl: 1/3c oat bran cooked with 1 cup water. Then, added pumpkin, 2 packets stevia, pumpkin pie spice and heated again. Finally top it up!
Confession 6: Since Lent started, EVERYTIME I go to the grocery store I stop by the ice cream section to say “Hi” to my old friends. See you soon mint n’ chip…
Confession #7: I LOVE Jillian, but I only have the attention span for 8 minute Abs and have totally dropped the ball on her Six Week 6 Pack 
Guess, I’ll never look like The Situation at this rate. 
Wait. Is that good or bad?
I’ve got to wait around for the refrigerator repair guy. Hopefully, he won’t be too long so I can head to my mom’s later. I need to use some of her pans for a fun Easter recipe!
Got anything to confess?
Love the picture of you and Ben.
Ooh my husband knows better than to wake me up. He can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, anyplace, and it takes me forever!
I must confess that it is entirely too frustrating trying to figure out everything that I’m intolerant of! Seems like pretty much any food seems to set me off. And I confess this, because I want to whine about it again! 🙂
i LOVE that photo of vegas’ tiny paw poking over the top of the hamper. hehehehhe.
I’m on my last can of pumpkin from hoarding a bunch from christmas.. idk what im going to do without it!
It’s still on the shelves here – are you guys out where you are?
I too have the pack a day habit!! I tell myself I could have worse habits but still…can’t be the best thing for you.
I always tell myself my vices (like gum and stuff) aren’t that bad – “Hey, I’m not doing meth…”, but I still want to cut back a bit 🙂
I guess being woken up at 1 is better than like 4:30…
Hi there,
I eat lot’s of oats, but not oat bran. Do you prefer oat bran? Do you eat steel cut oats much?
Love the blog!!
-McKayla
I prefer oat bran over oatmeal, and steel cut over both. But, I NEVER take the time to cook steel cut, so oat bran it is!
Confession: I could live on pizza, chocolate, and other junk food alone. I am totally not-a-healthy-eater at all. It’s something I’d like to work on!
My husband would get a kick in the you know what if he woke me up. 🙂
Hmmm I have a lack of hygeine 90% of the time… (ok maybe not THAT much)… If I could work in tempo shorts, I would be one happy camper. Oh and confession: I definitely have gone on a lunch break run and then conveniently forgotten to change back into my work attire for the second half of the afternoon… Good thing my office is kinda lax….
I am a gum addict too! It is bad…
I have been bad about not eating after 8 this week as well. I made a goal that I would not eat after 8 after seeing your goal, and I have been failing! Back on track today!
My cat’s woke me up late last night and it took every ounce of willpower I had not to pig out. Something about being up late…
I would personally distance myself from anything that makes the way I look move any closer to how The Situation looks!
Love all the confessions! And that breakfast looks mighty good to me. Then again, its been awhile since I’ve had pumpkin so it sounds exciting to eat.
I thought I was the only one who ate a pack of gum a day…..!
I don’t have the patience for the 6 week 6 pack either! Which is why I couldn’t do it consistently – but it’s fun to do randomly!
confession: it took me less than 48 hours to eat an entire bag of tropical starburst jelly beans.
follow-up confession: i’m going to the store after work to buy more.
I bought a bag of those to decorate my bunny cake and Ben said they’re amazing! I’m not a jelly bean person, but want to try them now.
I was so addicted to gum at one point I made myself quit cold turkey (two packs a day can really bust your wallet). I only lasted 29 days, but then I introduced it slowly. I only have 2 pieces a day now, so much cheaper!!
I’m thinking about giving myself a 2 piece limit soon!
My husband and I have a strict “don’t wake me up for ANYTHING” rule in our house. He’d need more than a pizza to atone for that! 🙂
Good deal. He’s woken me up since day 1, so that rule would be hard to suddenly enforce. Though, I’m tempted…
Mine used to wake for “non-talking activities” and once I established how that was not an effective romantic gesture and will piss me off for days, he doesn’t do it anymore 🙂 Don’t I sound like a peach?
Kara- my boyfriend and I have that rule too! We’re both insomniacs so if we’re sleeping DON’T MESS WITH US!! 😀
He falls asleep immediately (like in 3 seconds) and then wakes up at 3am and can’t sleep. I lay awake for hours and then once I’m asleep I’m dead to the world.
You’re cat in the hamper made me smile. I’m a ‘cat person’ and find their curiousity so funny. I grew up with 2 cats around the house and their fave place to chill was the dryer or the hamper. If youre down to lay all over my dirty sweaty clothes, go for it 😉
I confess. I’ve screwed up overnight oats twice this week. How did this happen? Too much almond milk I believe. Good thing I like mushy oats and the microwave thickens them up. Oh and what’s up with this southern california weather? Bring on the sunshine, please!
Yeah, it’s so gloomy today 🙁
I TOTALLY have a gum addiction too! I think its because I know if I’m chewing gum I won’t be tempted to snack on other things.
Good tip about the Visine! Have you ever done blog on workout video reviews??? I’m curious to hear how you like Six Week 6 Pack — it’s on my Amazon Wish List.
I really liked Jillian’s Six Week at first, but then got a little bored of it. I have not done Level 2 yet, but do enjoy Level 1 when I have the time for it.
I am so glad I’m not the only one ridiculously addicted to chewing gum :o)
Haha! I have to confess that I’m the one who needs a snack after a “talk”! 😉
