True Confessions Tuesday

[ 19 ] 02/09/2010 |

This is the time of the week where we confess our missteps and good intentions gone awry. Did you survive Superbowl Sunday (*sniff*) without going overboard or did you give into the salty, creamy goodnesses that often accompany the event? Go now, GO! Confess.

True Confessions of Melissa

1. We spent the weekend on location with my husband at this rig. Not only does this mean tight, cramped quarters… it means in the middle of nowhere, slim food choices, and limited cookware.

2. Chips and dip. Not the healthy-inspired, made-by-me kind either. The full-out horrible processed cheese dips bought at the grocery store. Which I dipped my chips in as I was hoarfing them down.

3. Exercise is still going strong. I did 11.2 miles in the past week! Woot!

4. Saturday, I didn’t complete my “long” run for my VTNT training. I was horribly crunched for time, but I did get one of the 3 miles done.

5. I consumed both pop AND coffee this past weekend. Crap. Luckily, my sweet order from Teavana.com was awaiting me on my doorstep when I got home last night, and I am now enjoying a nice cup of Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Green Tea. LOVE.

Your turn!!

    Don't hate me, I actually had a really good week. I exercised every day, including starting my couch to 10k training, and I stayed under my calorie allotment (the exercise helped with that).
    I did go out with friends over the weekend and may have had 2 appletinis, and I had a serving of light coffee icecream last night, but I “budgeted” for those things.
    I vloged while doing the twitter workout last week (as my Monday project), which showed me how terrible my form is. I need to work on my form-big time. Feel free to critique me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m0yZSspiq0

    My confession is that I made my turkey chili recipe for a Super Bowl party. It had ground turkey, sweet italian chicken sausage, and hot italian sausage in it. Big deal, you say, well I'm a vegetarian (pescatarian really – I eat fish), and I had 2 bowls for dinner on Monday. I abstained during the Super Bowl though. I haven't made this in at least 2 or 3 years, and I love it, so I figured it was OK to have it. The vegetarian gods did not swoop me up and punish me!! LOL This is my first “faux pas” for almost 2 years of not eating red meat and poultry.
