Time for Confession! Me first…
1. Sometimes when I type my name I type “Monican”
Okay, a lot of times.
2. Sizzler is my favorite restaurant. This goes back and forth between Whole Foods and Sizzler. You know I’m super high-low when it comes to food and fashion 
<- I feel like I’ve already told you this, but I really want Sizzler this week.
3. I spelled my best friend’s last name wrong at some point on a security question and now I can’t change my password!! (That’s pretty bad.)
4. I made my Apple Oat Bars today and subbed out apple sauce for the nut butter, and subbed protein powder for the brown sugar, and chopped instead of grated the apples. Oh, and I added 1/2 cup of almond milk (because protein powder can really dry stuff out in baking).
Okay. Is that still even the same recipe??!?!
My confession is: I ate 3.
Okay maybe 4. With almond butter.
5. I did this to my cat.
6. And my worst offense… I got cable back. I couldn’t help it!!! I was miserable. TV is my only fren.
How I am justifying this:
- I re-worked created a budget to make sure it was a good choice.
- I work from home and have 0 human interaction most of the time so I really need Giada to eat lunch with me.
- I missed Pumpkin from HoneyBooBoo.
- The cable installer guy said they put some kind of block thing to prevent people from stealing cable and that’s why it’s hard to get channels with the antenna.
Question : Now you go!
Confession: I’m supposed to be doing the Paleo whole 30 with my SO, but I’ve missed oats so much I sent him out to run errands last night so I could have a bowl of steel cut oats that I threw some semi sweet chips and chopped walnuts into it.
Yes. I cheated on my boyfriend with a bowl of oatmeal.
Confession: I haven’t eaten cereal in 6 months. This week I fell off the wagon hard and ate it four nights in a row for dessert. And not healthy cereal…kid’s cereal…like all sugared up. It’s all good though…
Here’s a fun one: I haven’t washed my hair in over two weeks, and no one has noticed! I have really short hair, so I just give it a really good rinse in the shower and gtg! If this works, I’ll never have to buy hair products again. Though I do miss the pretty smells shampoo provides.
If Vegas could confess, he’s say he loved being in that bag.
Wait your name ISNT MonicaN?
First, you always Monican at our house…(between me and my 15 yr old, sometimes-runner daughter who also follows your stuff). Sometimes we even use your proper title “The” 😉
Confession: I haven’t run since my trail half on Saturday because I ATE IT big time just before mile 9 and have some horrific scabs going on. Mostly my right knee (it’s f-ugly and nasty and painful). But despite a nurse-friend who says “take it easy”, I’m going to try a little 4 miler tomorrow morning because NOT running is driving my absolutely BATTY. (that was really two confessions, I think)
In the big truth of my little life, it doesn’t matter that much. But like I said, it’s a small little life and running is one of the few things that’s “all me”.
Have a great weekend, Monican. I hope you’ll consider that run trail race next year. I’m going to run it again and NOT eat it. 😀
Despite the big fall, my time was still 2:20, and with a fall and a 1,000 ft climb; I’ll take it and be happy.
here’s another confession: I don’t re-read blog comments before I hit “send” as often as I should…for shame! 😐
I left my hair in the same braid for three whole days this week; I slept in it and went running each of those days. Putting lavender essential oils in your hair is the same thing as washing and brushing it, right? Please tell me I’m not as gross as I sound.
I’d die without cable…
& I realize that’s sad.
Can I just say that I love that you got cable back? Life is too short!! 🙂
My confession? I plead the fifth! 🙂
1. I just weighed myself yesterday for the first time in about a month, and I’ve gained ten pounds. That’s what happens when you have an injury and can’t run but are just as hungry. Ha.
2. I’m addicted to Candy Crush. I can’t stop.
3. I have this insane urge to go to Target and buy everything. I think I need a lot of things when I really don’t, nor do I have the money to buy such things. There’s probably a medical name for it, like Targetitis or something, haha.
Yup, I work from home too, so I get it…I also like to have the TV on sometimes so I’m not “alone” 😉
Confession- I had cake last night even though my birthday’s not for 2 more days. YOLO 😉
I’ve lived with out cable before, but now that I have it, I’m never going back. I like it to unwind at night. And for a filler when I’m home alone. Just having the background noise is a comfort.
Your recipes make my day. Could you make me a guilt free pecan pie, preferably microwaveable, so I can fit it into my everyday schedule? 🙂
When I watch Honey BooBoo, my husband leaves the room.
I need cable – I need to watch Honey BooBoo, Welcome to Myrtle Manor, and Teen Mom. Those are important shows.
Those bars look yummylicious and the almond butter on it makes it heavenly!
I would love to ditch cable but the hubs would be lost without ESPN.
Haha that picture of Vegas in a bag is adorable!
Going without cable was really hard at first but now with Netflix I don’t miss it nearly as much that and I am 100 times more productive!!
ok you need to Netflix..cable is too expensive
HAHAHA that cat!
Also, welcome back to the cable club. I would die without it and I’m not ashamed. Good for you for trying it!
Ice cream for breakfast and dinner. Grilled chicken salad w/arugula, tomatoes, and olives for lunch.
I plan what I’m going to eat when my husband is away on business. Like for weeks in my head. Thai salad rolls!
Those oat bars look insanely jealous and will probably be made tomorrow…
I bought a large vanilla wendy’s frosty, filled it with reeses peanut butter cup minis and ate the entire thing and I’m not sorry and I’ll probably do it again, maybe tomorrow.
Girl I feel ya on the TV thing! When I quit my job to stay home with my kids we cut bills in every area we could – we sold vehicles, switched insurance companies, downgraded cell phones, etc but we COULD NOT get rid of our satellite service! I tried my hardest to be able to go down a few packages for cheaper service but every.single.channel that we both watch(ed) regularly were only in the higher packages…that’s how they get ya. Anyway, all that to say – I get it! Watch your tv!
I still mooch off my parents netflix account and when I watch movies, I stream them online
I just got rid of cable! Except I got the google chromecast thing so I still have my netflix 🙂 Its weird getting home and not just being able to turn the tv on to some random show, now when I want to watch I actually need to think about it!
I wouldn’t be able to live without bravo!
Confession: I have eaten more sweets this week than I did in the entirety of Jan and Feb. Sigh. They were all awesome and I guess I got fuel triathlon training somehow right…
Welcome back to cable faction.
I’ll give up food before I give up cable–I can forget I’m hungry if something good is on tv.
I must confess 😉
1. I ate a Chocolate Ritter bar at 9:30AM the other day and was completely okay with it 🙂 I threw some away, to justify not eating the “whole” bar.
2. I skipped my workout class to sleep a little longer on Tuesday AM.
3. I have an addition to lululemon and my bank account really is suffering!
PS – What is this “budget” thing you speak of?!?
1. I’ve eaten probably 8 caramel eggs in the last week – I can’t help it, they’re only out once a year!
2. I bought myself a new pair of running shoes that I don’t actually need, but they were on sale so that doesn’t count, right?
3. I only do my dishes about once a week/when the sink is full. I often bribe myself with a drink to get them done!
Oooh, those apple oat bars look yummy!! And cable is a non-negotiable for me. I don’t care if ditching it would save me a few bucks. My sanity is worth those couple dollars I spend.
