Run Eat Repeat

Confession Thursday–Watch What You Eat

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
12 Apr

1. I swear there were 20 cashews here a second ago… IMG_9712 (800x600)

2. I think I have a foot fetish.

Okay not really. I just wanted my foot in this picture because my mom treated me to a pedicure for Easter. Go toes!IMG_9714 (800x600)

3. I’ve eaten 7 calcium chews today. Okay, make that 8…

I mean 9.

4. I’m kinda glad I had a no show client today because I ended up getting a really good ab workout!

5. I feel like I haven’t had a good laugh in a long time.

6. I am inappropriately excited for Dr. Pepper 10 (even though the commercials say it’s not for women, which is not cool).

7.  I know it’s sac-religious in California to not like In N Out, but I don’t like it. I walked to work today and the smell of In N Out was killing me (in a good way)! I want some crappy soggy fries grilled onions.20120412_174304

8. I was mindlessly eating a snack this afternoon…IMG_9716 (600x800)

and almost ate this black sweet pepper?!?!IMG_9720 (600x800)

Look at it! Looooooooooook at it! IMG_9725 (600x800)That’s what I get for being on the computer while eating.

Question: Got anything to confess?

      I hope this makes you laugh a really good laugh.

      Confession: I’m a vegetarian, but I LOVE the smell of steak. LOVE.

      You are not kidding about liking salad. Wow, hiw many people can swim in that baby pool when it’s not filled with salad. Sure it’s just the angle you clsim. :-). Send some of that good weather out to Indiana.

      I live “down-wind” of an In-N-Out….there are nights in the summer where I have my windows open and the smell of grease and onion floats the quarter-mile down the hill.

      Aaaahhh….grease!

      This is weird, but in the picture of the salad, the table and floor sort of blur together and it looks like it’s right next to your feet making it either the world’s biggest salad or meaning you have the world’s smallest feet. I had to do a triple take.

        YES! Ben said the same thing, “That salad looks as big as a pool.” I do not have small feet at all.

      Can you post your ab workout, please? I recently got a stress fracture, so I’m trying to focus on ab work now (because I can’t do any weight bearing exercise for weeks! gah!). Also, I’m a Californian and am not a fan of In n’ Out – you’re not alone 😛

      My husband was so excited to try in and out burger because everyone talks about how awesome it is. He finally got to when we went to Vegas and….. he said he was quite disappointed. It was one of the main things he talked about and so I was bummed that it didn’t work out for him.

      Confession: I’m supposed to run a race tomorrow morning and there is a 50% chance for severe storms. I’m on the fence on whether I want to say forget the race I’m going to enjoy my Friday night or if I want to do the pre race rituals and stay in and run the risk of not doing the run in the morning because of weather. I signed up for the race as a “trainng” race for a longer one I have coming up. I’m leaning towards getting the t-shirt at the expo tonight and not running tomorrow and then praying that it storms so I’m not a bad person for skipping the race. Hopefully that doesn’t mean the race god’s will strike down on me for wishing a race to be cancelled. 🙁 Has anyone skipped out on a race because of potential weather issues the night before the race? Can I still wear the race shirt even if I didn’t run it? I feel like I can’t, but what if it’s a really cool shirt?!

        I skipped out on a race last year, regretted it and feel shamed every time I go to wear the shirt (which isn’t pretty but it is useful…I dread somebody asking me “Oh, you did that trail run! How was it?”)

          I’ve felt bad before when I wear a Marathon / Half Marathon shirt and someone asks about the Marathon. I have to say, “I only ran the half…”.

      I grew up in southern CA and am with you on the In N Out thing. My confession…I laugh out loud, by myself, at things that I should be professional about. For instance, yesterday I was near tears from laughing at an applicant’s admission essay–it wasn’t supposed to be funny.

      dude. all of these confessions are weak! i thought confessions are supposed to be embarrassing. i have a good one. when i was little, i was afraid to go ‘number 2’ because i thought it would hurt. so, my parents bribed me to go to the b-room with those little toy trolls with the diamond belly buttons. one time, i actually had to go but didn’t quite make it to the ‘potty’ but, i made it right next to that ‘potty.’ so, in order to receive my troll, i picked up the evidence and plopped it in the potty. needless to say, i got my troll.

      i’m realizing after confessing this, people are probably going to think i’m extremely weird for sharing this on the internet. tmi? prolly. at least it doesn’t happen anymore! hopefully someone gets a good chuckle.

        I seriously hope that you are kidding. And if you are kidding, I’m horribly offended. Alcoholism is an illness, not a joke. Have you ever known anyone affected by it? Obviously you have not if you’re so cavalier about wanting to be an alcoholic for a day.

          Meredith,

          I meant it as a joke. I’m sorry for offending you, Monica or any other reader on this blog. I have experienced addiction and my father was an alcoholic so I know the seriousness of my words. Again, I apologize.

            Ro,
            For the record I was not offended at all. We all have days where we want to scream, “I need a drink!!!”. I get it.

            Plus, I do have a very close family history with alcoholism. I think that’s part of the reason I can laugh about it. If I took it too seriously it would be a huge dark shadow on my little ol’ life.

      Seriously, you live in S. Cal. and you don’t like In-N-Out (shakes head in disbelief)?! That is one of the few fast food places I miss living in the Northwest, and I don’t generally eat fast food these days. Sigh; my confession? I am hopelessly addicted to pretzels. I can eat a ton of ’em before I realize it.

      Laughing would have been a good ab workout too! I need a good laugh too.

      I’m not that into In -N- Out either. It’s okay but not mind-blowing. If I’m eating fries I want them to be amazing.
