Confession Thursday–Plus a Giveaway

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
10 Feb

I don’t know if it’s my Catholic upbringing or what, but Confession Thursday feels so cathartic. Here are my confessions for the week:

1. Since I drink a gallon of water a day I often find myself having to pee in less than pristine locations. The confession part of this? I’m bad at squatting.

IMG_8007

Remember that movie My Girl? She said she caught hemorrhoids from a gas station bathroom? Yeah. My Girl

2. Sometimes I think of my year in Columbia, MD and miss it. Sad smile

Then, I look back on my post from a year ago today and realize I’m idealizing the memory… white out in Maryland

I’ll take this sunny day in Huntington Beach, Thank you.

IMG_8013

3. I can’t decide if I’m happy or sad that I’ll never make spaghetti as good as my mom.

IMG_8253

Oh, and 99% of the time I eat bread with no guilt or hesitation at all. My “sandwich thin” versus “real bread” debate just bugged me at the time.

IMG_8256

4. If I’m at your house and you say, “I have all these ingredients to make Muddy Buddy mix (aka Puppy Chow), but I haven’t had the time…” IMG_8258

I’ll make it and eat half of it before you realize what happened.

IMG_8261

For those that don’t know – it’s chocolate and PB covered chex mix bathed in powdered sugar. And it’s very very dangerous.

IMG_8263

5. I think part of the reason I don’t like oatmeal is because the oats I make for Ben are so much better than the kind I make for myself. I put in a whole banana and cook his with almond milk instead of water. It makes them 100x better.

IMG_8266

6. I currently have 6 cans of protein powder on my fridge, but really only use one flavor and keep replacing it. It’s not the one you think either Smile

IMG_8270

See that blue bottle in the corner? I replace that too, just not as often because it’s the Costco sized one!

I think she's drunk

Why am I wearing running clothes and holding vodka? The world may never know…

I am too happy too early

Decisions, decisions…

7. I try and convince Ben it’s “Take Your Cat to Work Day” at least once a week. One day he’ll buy it.

IMG_8279

8. I had to stand in the other room to get a picture of my jug o’iced coffee in this picture. I mostly only started drinking coffee to be part of the “in” crowd and now so many peeps are trying to get off the stuff. Depressing.

IMG_8282

9. I dropped my bagel jelly side down on the floor after this picture. Confession part: I ate it before I cleaned up the mess.

IMG_8285

*For those that asked… It was Cracklin Oat Bran cereal on my smoothie yesterday. It’s amazing.10. I just got an offer for free entry into a marathon in March. I’m considering it even though I desperately wanted a break from racing. Someone send me to race rehab. I need help.

11. KSWISS sent me Jillian’s 6 Week Six Pack as part of their Jumpstart program. I already have a copy. Confession part: I was tempted to keep it so I would have 2 because I love it sooo much.

IMG_8289

But, I’ve decided to be nice and give this extra copy away. Who wants to win???

To Enter: Leave a Comment sharing a Confession.

I wouldn’t mind if you linked back to me or told your friend/brother/neighbor to check out RER for an extra entry Smile

    I have been stalking, I mean reading, your blog for awhile now and love it, I just wanted to let you know! Keep doing what you’re doing!

    Confession: I make 2 seperate meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my husband and my kiddos and then while they’re eating I make my own meal. I have to do this because no one wants to eat as healthy as me.

    Confession #2: I hide healthy things in the meals I make for my husband and kids. So funny because they always LOVE whatever I make and always talk bad about the food I make myself. Little do they know what’s really in their food. Shhh don’t tell. 🙂

    It’s amazing as I read all of these how many I have done myself or do on a regular basis, apparently I have a lot of confessions! I thought of one more this morning though…
    confession: Any french fries or tater tots, etc. that are not in their container and rather in the bag I have dubbed “bag” fill in the blank and they have no calories. Always 🙂

    Confession: I’ve been reading your blog for two years every single day and NEVER posted a comment. I’m super pumped

    Confession: Sometimes I eat a bowl of DRY rolled oats with chocolate chips and cinnamon and a little bit of salt and I think it tastes just like an oatmeal cookie. For serious.

    Confession: I’m jewish but I grew up in Irish Catholic boston, so I was always super jealous of the kids that got to go to confession.

    which is why I did 3 instead of just one!

    Sometimes I figure that the jar of peanut butter is really only 2 or 3 servings, instead of 14. Who eats only 2 tbsp of PB at a time??

    I love this post! Let’s see, a good confession…

    1. I take pictures of myself with my phone because they make me look “thinner.”

    2. I worry that I secretly like one of my cats more than the other. Yup, I prefer the anti-social one =)

    5. I always put an entire banana in my oatmeal and sometimes I splurge and add peanut butter and chocolate chips. So delicious =)

    Ohh I’ve wanted to try that for so long! I have The Shred, and love it, especially when I’ve done it enough that I can mute Jillian. 😉

    Confession: If you met me at 3-5p on Fridays in my office, you probably wouldn’t want to be my friend. I get wacky and run around my office doing weird things.

    Also, Cracklin Oat Brad should just be called “crack”. Have you tried making oats with 1/2 water 1/2 almond milk? That’s my tried and true method.

    1) I yell at my husband from drinking straight from the orange juice jug. But when he isn’t looking, I drink from it. Whoops.
    2) When it’s ‘that time of the month’, my husband is EXTRA nice to me (actually does housework without me asking, goes to the store and gets me treats to make me feel better, etc.). Sometimes I pretend I am still on my period so that the extra special treatment lasts a day or two longer. Is that bad? 🙂
