Run Eat Repeat

Confessions of a Running Blogger–I didn’t take the stairs

Fun· What Runners Eat

6 Apr

Confession Thursday is back. Even though my first confession should be that last night I was hoping today was Friday so hard I almost made myself believe it. Dreams can come try if you believe hard enough, right?

Confession…

I ate 8 pounds of grapes in about 24 hours. I am a grape eating machine. If there are any grapes in my house I will eat them non-stop until they’re gone so I usually go to the grocery store at least 5 times a week and buy grapes.

Then, I eat them all and have to go back. I’m used to it and usually buy a semi-reasonable amount knowing I’ll eat them right away.

Confession…

Yes, I still eat grapes on the way home from the store even though they are dirty and I once found a black widow in my grapes. I am an addict and obviously willing to die for a grape fix.

Confession…

I intended to stretch after my run this morning but laying on the floor with Vegas was more fun.

Confession…

I eat a snack while making a snack. I also eat a snack while making lunch. Today it was half an avocado on a tortilla with carne asada seasoning.

At least my lunch was healthy… I am so proud of myself for meal prepping!!

Confession…

This week I was talking to a new friend on the phone and they said that people are too obsessed with food. He went on a rant about how everyone is constantly preoccupied with food and food shows and he doesn’t get it. He wishes he could just eat once a day and not worry about it. And he gets frustrated you have to take time to cook and eat but get hungry again in a few hours anyway. (This is a mini-version of the rant.)

To which I said – I DON’T GET YOU AT ALL.

And kinda went on my own rant about how they don’t get me. I should have been open minded but food is kinda a big deal in my world. Next time I’ll consider another opinion.

Confession…

I kinda want to be friends with whoever buys this fancy peacock decoration statue. I want to go to a house that is super epic enough to have something like this… anyone? Invite me over!

Confession…

I did not take the stairs because I was running late to my doctor’s appointment this morning. Does guilt burn calories?

I had a check-in appointment for my HPV situation.  We’ll talk about that soon.

Confession…

After my appointment I hit up Dunkin Donuts because I felt like I deserved a treat after. It made me happy.

Then, I shook up some fruit punch Spark when I got home. But the combo of both coffee and Spark within an hour  is going to have me bouncing off the walls!

Confession…

Despite my obsession with grapes I never buy Spark in Grape flavor. Is that a major fail? Do you get like that flavor??

Confession…

Skinny Runner sent me a box of chocolates because she feels really guilty about moving away. At least I think that’s why she sent them? Maybe it’s our friendiversary?! The point is – I still miss her. Which is kinda nice and also kinda means I need to make a new friend already!

All I know is these are amazing champagne truffles. This is what happiness tastes like…

Note: While writing this post a friend called and said they were waiting on a call from their boss that was 2 hours late. I said, “Is it urgent? Can it wait till Monday?” And they said – “You mean tomorrow? Friday.”

Yep. Apparently I still want to think it’s Friday.

Your turn – spill it. What do you have to confess?

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I do this with Puffins cereal. I can’t stop eating it. And large quantities that give me a stomachache. So good!!

      Sorry, need to side with your friend about food. Not to say I don’t like to eat, but sometimes I feel like it’s such a chore. Just give me something that’ll take away the hunger pain and I’m happy!

      Yes, I would buy that peacock statue in a heartbeat if I thought the rest of my family would not give me grief. They are so boring…. LOL! 😉

      This is really reassuring to know I’m not the only one with that problem with grapes LOL. And your friend who doesn’t understand people’s obsession with food??? I spend about 98% of my day thinking about food…maybe I have a problem

      My boyfriend left my house at 11pm and I stayed up for 2 hours after to do some freelance work. Then at 1am I dug into my doggie bag from dinner and ate a few fries. And now I’m laying in bed with greasy fingers from the fries but I’m too cozy to get up and go wash my hands. 🙂

      I am the same way with grapes! I literally can’t stop popping them in my mouth until they are gone.

      I confess that I had a glass or two of wine this week most nights. Umm oops?
