True Confessions Monday

[ 19 ] 10/26/2009 |

Guess what?

It’s MONDAY! Wheeee!

Sorry, had to do it. If you feel anything like I do this morning, you probably want to slap me through the computer.

It’s okay, you have my permission. I will take one for the team this lovely Monday.

Caffeine, where art thou?

Okay, other than rambling and being annoying, I AM here for a reason this lovely morn. IT’S TRUE CONFESSIONS DAY! Here are mine:

1) I have not exercised in two weeks. And I have a 5K in less than two weeks. I am terrified. And I will be forcing myself out in the rain today for a run to assess the damage to my fitness level. Wish me luck – it could get ugly.

2) I ate fast food last night. It gave me a stomach ache, like, REAL BAD. When will I ever learn?

3) A quick note on Fiber One Bars: do not eat before you have a social engagement. That is all.

4) It has started raining here – and I find it very difficult to be motivated about much of anything besides sitting on the couch watching Biggest Loser with a bag of chips when it’s raining. We were spoiled with a lovely summer and now I’m concerned about how my weight loss/fitness journey will fare now that I’m living in the land of Seasonal Affective Disorder…ahhhh. Lovely Pacific Northwest!

5) But there is light at the end of the tunnel – we’re going to Kauai over Thanksgiving. That means BATHING SUIT. Gulp. Digging out 30 Day Shred as I type!

So, how’d YOU do this week?

    Where is everyone?? I can't believe that I am the first to post today.
    Okay, I ate at Denny's yesterday and didn't order from the 'lite' menu. Just bacon and eggs, but I know that they drench everything in butter, except the toast. I had to ask for more…just kidding…I mean, I did ask, but then changed my mind. I almost finished Mom's pancakes, but kept my hands in my lap while salivating. I did okay there, but then at home I had a Hostess Chocolate Cup Cake – yum. Sorry, but there it is.

    I am suffering from lack of motivation too. We need Christie to kick our asses. I am so incredibly jealous of your Hawaii trip!

    i did great this weekend.

    seriously.

    except for that catcus blosson (deep fried onion).

    but then i ran for 10 miles w/o stopping. even for traffic. or for a turkey running into the road. or to admire the leaves.

    running in the national park isn't as tranquil as you'd think. i sucked car exaust the whole time and had at least 2 cigarettes.

    True confessions?! A mix of the good and the bad today.
    1. I too live in the Northwest (born and raised and hope to move back “home” to TN…long story) and am ever so thankful for my treadmill!!
    2. I was on the treadmill 5 different days last week!!
    3. I planned on eating better last week and I did.
    4. I blew it last night. We stopped at the store and all picked out frozen finger foods then sat down to watch the Giants.
    5. I said I was going to phase 1 again today but ate several small brownies already. Now I want thin crust pizza from Papa Murphy's.

    A couple good things and some bad. Working on changing a few of the “bad” this week.

    I'd like to add that I'm not caving to the temptation of the p word. I do have a light Manhattan seafood chowder (really more like a stew) on the stove top.
