I have a very important question for you…
Q: What is better than new running shoes?
A: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
#TrickQuestion
I got a special delivery from Mizuno this week and am running on sunshine 
The Only Ab Exercise I do…
Now it’s time for Confession Thursday… my lil way of sneaking into Heaven by airing my dirty laundry on the internet!!!
1. I saw Bad Grandpa the other night (that movie with Johnie Knoxville) and really liked it. Like, full on laughed.
2. Sometimes I purposely go to church late so I don’t have to do that part where you talk to the people around you. It’s just uncomfortable for me, which is weird because I really like meeting new people under every other circumstance in the world.
3. I really really dislike doing planks. And I had this bright idea to do a plank while listening to Tina’s What’s App messages. But since I told her that I hold a plank while I listen she keeps making her messages at least one minute long – this morning it was 1:30 and I was mad at her.
Luckily, I multi-task.
4. Someone pointed out that I’ve been drinking a lot more lately. Yes.
I’m not worried about it though… so I don’t even though if that’s a confession as much as an acknowledgment/cheers!
5. I really wanted a Reese’s PB cup last night, but didn’t have any. So I melted some dark chocolate and PB together. I was good, but not the same.
Now you go!
Question: Let’s here a confession from you!
I am copying and pasting the church comment to send to my sisters. You just described our lives.
Glad I’m not the only one 🙂
Hi Monica: I love reading your blog. One of the first I check every morning while having my coffee. Question for you about your Mizuno (I’m in love with the color BTW) – do they have a wide toe box ? or come in D width ? Thanks a bunch. Hope all is well in California. Way over here in Eastern Canada it’s getting a wee bit chilly.
Hello! I wear the standard and haven’t tried a wide width. I don’t think they have a wide toe box, but are pretty true to size. I feel like some brands like Altra and others are a little wider in the toe box – they are definitely not narrow though. My foot is probably on the wider side and it works for me. The Wave Rider (one of their most popular shoes!) does come in wide. The Hitogamis I wear are pretty light weight and some people don’t think they are great for long distance.
Confession: I hate folding laundry so I have a guest bedroom full of clothes…clean but piled all over each other. I just shut it and don’t let anyone open the door. I also like to squeeze honey in my mouth.
It is 11pm and I am in the kitchen, eating my roommate’s chocolate cake.
Confession – I haven’t run in almost a week. I don’t feel too bad about it because my mom has been in town visiting and I will be back at it after she goes home (Boo!) tomorrow night. I’m even considering being responsible and adding in some cross training. 😉
I have a peanut butter cup after supper everyday…..but I ate one last night….I am now getting off my @$$ and going to melt some chocolate with some peanut butter.. ha! Thanks for the idea, I wasn’t sure how I was going to get through my evening with out a “peanut butter cup”
My confession? I am polishing off an entire pint of Haagen Dazs while reading running blogs.
Reading about running is almost the same as running, right?
Reese’s big cup tho? YASS!
I got to church late on purpose too!! …oops. What kind of Mizunos are those?
Hitogami 🙂
Thanks might have to try them out when I get a new pair of kicks!
The best ab exercise is probably laughing until you cry! 🙂
If you’re only going to do one ab exercise, the plank is it. So much more effective than those useless hundreds of crunches. The plank strengthens the entire core. I listen to music while planking. That makes the time go by faster.
My family (who are all vegetarians) think I am too, but I sometimes sneak in meat when I eat out without them.
I’m really busy at work but here I am surfing the internet. Sigh. 🙂 Happy Thursday!
I don’t drink plain water. I can’t remember the last time I had water on it’s own. I do drink a fair bit of sparkling / mineral water. My dog also enjoys playing with the empty bottles, so to justify the cost I choose to think that I’m buying him lots of toys and being a good fur-mum.
My confession – i don’t shower right after I workout. I actually usually shower about 3-4 hours after working out. I get really really sweaty – I am sure I smell. Gross I know!
Confession: I hate the people who correct your spelling/grammar, and now I’m telling you that you spelled “hear” wrong. Also, I probably drink as much as you, but I don’t have a blog so no one can judge me. That’s not a confession because I don’t think I drink too much, either (though I would be skinnier if I drank less).
I don’t mind when people correct me as long as they don’t do it like an a-hole 🙂
I’d rather be happy and buzzed than skinny… I guess.
I love this post! Very funny, I love the confession theme more than a random thought post.
Bad Grandpa. I laughed, too. In fact, this was part three of the first date with my boyfriend. We connected over inappropriateness.
I am glad someone else saw it and liked it 🙂
That LC gif is everything.
I didn’t feel like wearing real pants today so I wore workout leggings and a long top and called it a day. hahah
YES to this!
I’m on board with this!
I skipped my Tuesday AND my Thursday workouts and I feel icky. Oh well.
I also have been falling asleep on the sofa after having just one glass of wine #lightweight
melted choc and pb is just as good.. kinda… ! I only ever do weighted cable crunches, ahha so we are similar with our one ab exercise!
My confession: whenever I see people on the street with clipboards (to talk to me about gay rights, education, whatever), I pretend that the headphones in my ears aren’t playing music, but that I’m on a phone call. I’ll just start talking out loud, making up a conversation, so I don’t have to talk to them. I’m horrible.
That’s kind of a good idea 🙂
My confession: I never eat a bunch of junk food–unless I am left alone for the weekend. Then I basically eat anything and everything that is bad for me.
Hahaha, I never do ANY ab exercises ever. CHEERS!
Once while desperate (and pregnant) I had a spoonful of cold hot fudge and peanut butter and a squirt of whipped cream. It was incredible.
My confession (triggered by your church one)- I hate, hate, hate shaking hands with people.
Now I don’t feel bad about not being a ‘hugger’.
i’m the same way! i always feel so weird shaking hands during mass :-/
My confession: Sometimes I binge eat chips(any kind I am not picky) and watch Netflix all day when I am feeling extra unmotivated to do productive things. It’s really depressing and I feel miserable afterwards.
Now I want to open up Netflix and see what’s good…
I have a weird pica-y fondness for the taste of bar soap. I know, right? FREAK.
Ha! That’s a good confession.
