True Confessions: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

[ 17 ] 02/23/2010 |

True Confessions

Yippee!  It’s Tuesday and I get to share with all of you, my friends, my internet peeps, my “confessions” for the week. 

For all it’s worth………………..

The Good

  • I exercised HARD last week- Monday (weights), Tuesday (running), Wednesday (elliptical), and Thursday (mini-triathlon).
  • Say what?!  A mini-triathlon?  As in, swim 500m, bike 12 miles, AND run 3.1 miles?  Yes, yes, and YES!!!!!  I burned a ton of calories and couldn’t walk for a few days but who’s keeping track.  I have put the completion of this event, the mini-triathlon, as a big, huge deposit into my “bank”.   Doing this made me feel like a superhero, especially the swimming part I almost beat Christie O on the swimming part **cough cough**.

The Bad

  • Not sure anyone noticed, but I didn’t weigh-in last week because, well, the week BEFORE was quite stressful for our family and I returned to my “I’m stressed out and now, I must gouge myself on Doritos until I throw up” eating phase.  The Doritos are gone, but the scale was not kind to me last Wednesday, or rather, I was not kind to myself and it showed on the scale.  I will weigh-in this week- pinkie swear.

The Ugly

  • I singlehandley inhaled a bag of leftover Valentine’s M&M’s, by MYSELF, with little to no help from anyone else.  This would be over the course of several days, not all at one sitting I have a little self control but not much, obviously.
  • I had shrimp scampi on Friday (yes, I made it!), Mexican food on Saturday and BBQ on Sunday.  Looks like I was hungry, huh?

Guess what? You guys get to share with me, too- wahoo!!!! I know I am not alone with the confessions, of that I am certain. So that’s the deal- I shared with you and now you share with me.  Write a post on your personal blog and leave the link in the comments section here.  Don’t be shy- lay it ALL out there.  Or, if you prefer, share your confessions within the comments.

    Ok, so you experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly. Who doesn't? Focus on the good because the good was very, very good! Accentuate the positive, right? :-)

    After completing the tri on Thursday, no wonder you were hungry! You needed those calories, girl! I think you had a pretty good week, Lisa. Rock on!

    Here's mine, and I swear it's not a cop-out: http://www.ohlssons.be/karena/?p=671

    While I was by myself around the house, I danced the Lambada!

    I know, I know, it is the forbidden dance!

    Holla!

    btw: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is one of my hubby's favorite films. I laughed when I saw how you organized your post :) You definitely banked some good this week with that tri, the rest if totally forgive-able!

    theres some good news in this confession but most of it is pretty bad!

    I do the same thing after I do a crazy amount of exercise. Also my boyfriend sometimes enables me by telling me I worked out so hard that I earned some naughty food. Must. Stop. Rewarding myself with junk food.
