True Confessions Monday *Melissa*

[ 24 ] 10/05/2009 |

It’s Monday! You know what that means! Time to confess all your sins of the past week so that you can get on with your bad self and start NEW and FRESH.

Here I go, these are not all food & health related, but it’s more fun that way, no?

1. I am feeling unfulfilled.

2. When I am unhappy, I tend to not care what I put in my mouth. I haven’t been stuffing my face, but I think I have forgotten what fruit and veggies are.

3. I kind of picked up smoking again this past summer, quit judging, it’s been a horrendous year, you know a couple a day. I know, I know. Well, this week I had two on the day of my injection and that is all. I quit! Woot!

4. I have an overwhelming urge to dye my hair really dark. I get this way at least once a year. Should I or shouldn’t I?

5. It’s been cold all week and I haven’t shaved my legs. My husband is out of town for another 2 1/2 weeks, no one will ever know. Except now I just told the whole world.

6. Exercise was nonexistent for me this week. This week *I will* make my re-debut at the gym. You have my permission to kick me in the ass and make me go.

There you have it. I feel better now. I swear I lost at least two pounds by unloading all of that. Let’s hear all your juicy confessions! GO! BLOG! RETURN! LINK!

    I confess that I ROCKED IT this week! I went to the gym 3 times, worked out with my personal trainer until I couldn't walk, ate really well, stayed happy, and didn't splurge and ruin the whole week by having a fat-filled weekend. Can I get a “heck ya!”?

  • shrinkingjeans

    I will give ya a big, “HELL YA”! Way to go, Nancy! You DID rock it! I'm
    proud of you!

    when i've got a case of the blahs changing my hair up always helps me! and your probably dealing with more than just “blahs” but giving yourself a new look (and outlook) can make a world of difference. now get your ass to the gym!! :P

    i ate peanuts. and cheese and crackers. and had coke. and don't feel a bit guilty for it!

    I confess that I only ran once last week – bad Margie – but I did do two days of new exercises.

    Oh my gosh! This is my first time putting my confessions here. I've got to do it. I must face my realities. I must face myself.

    1. I totally screwed up the weight loss mojo I've had going on.
    2. I care but I don't care.
    3. I care becaue I want to loose this weight.
    4. I don't care because I totally scored a spur of the moment date with my husband Saturday night. We went to a “shot gun” wedding of sorts with a quick stop along the way and the kids decided they wanted to stay at Gee-Gee's.
    5. We went to Famous Daves, had a drink and P-I-G-G-E-D out. It was delish!
    6. Exercise was almost non existant last week.
    7. I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought lots of meat, fruit and veggies. I'm actually stoked about cooking for the next couple of weeks.
    8. I'm excited about this new 5k challenge and I plan on running.

    There. I put it all on the table. Here's to a better week and weekend!

    *I was a social smoker this summer -glad summer's over for that reason :) YOU can do it!!
    *I too had gone too long between leg shavings & last Tuesday I had to show my twisted ankle to a nurse/friend/child care mom & was MORTIFIED when I pulled my pantleg up too far EWWWWWWWW
    *I would like to try to get back on my treadmill this week.. slowly so as not to hurt any healing done to the ankle already.

    Great job Nancy!!!! You totally rock!

  • tlb81003

    For the record: My husband has always told me that the only thing he cares about (shaving) is that my leg hairs never get as long as his. The dork!

    P.s. Lissa- no judgement on the smoking. I know how hard it is hence the fact that I still have not been able to quit :(

    Here's my confessions of the week — I fixed a comfort food dinner and ATE a BIG serving of it.
    Then I went to the pharmacy and picked up medicine and ICE CREAM! and I ate that too!
    I haven't exercised in 3 days and I'm thinking about going to bed early tonight and not exercising again….

  • shrinkingjeans

    Exercise now, Ann! Before you go to bed!! ;p You're welcome! -Melissa

    My confession? I'm too freakin' wiped to even write a post about my confessions! I ate a Burger Kind chicken sandwich today. The weigh in does not bode well.
    Oh, totally dye your hair! Fun!
    And stop smoking hooker! For reals. I love you too much for you to smoke!
