True Confessions

[ 15 ] 03/16/2010 |

Okay, for the life of me, I can’t remember the last time I confessed.

Naughty!

Let’s see… this week:

  • I baked. A lot. In the name of taking goodies to my sister-in-law, who just had a baby last week, and because my son keeps begging me for ‘birthday cake’. Birthday cake, to him, is anything in a muffin/cupcake shape. So, of course I had to taste. The good news is, all my baking subbed yogurt for a lot of the oil and eggs, and I hid pumpkin, cauliflower and carrot puree in my cupcakes. The bad news is, I made mini muffins and cupcakes, so of course I had that excuse in my mind that they didn’t count for as much. Um, yeah. I wish!
  • After my race on Sunday, my girlfriends and I went to brunch. And what did I order? Corned beef hash. I have a rule – if there’s CBH on the menu, I’m ordering it. Period. I kind of obsessed. I ate CBH on the morn of my wedding – probably not the smartest choice with nerves and all, but I HAD TO.  The  CBH on Sunday wasn’t a great CBH, thankfully, so I only ate about 1/2 of it.  Oh, and the Bloody Mary…that’s a serving of vegetables, right?
  • My attitude on exercise this week sucked. I was hurting quite a bit. Then, on Saturday, I went and was properly fitted for shoes and I magically feel better. I guess my old Pumas weren’t so great for running after all. I thought the salesguy was going to beat me over the head with them when I confessed I’d been training for months in my ‘cute’ running shoes. Take note: cute running shoes are usually not functional. Good to know.

So, that’s me for this week…not too bad. How’d you do this week? Spill. Now. I command you (please).

    That's why I eat the least on Sundays because I want to taste everything I cook.

    I confessed about a workout that scares me, wondering if there's one that scares you.

    You had Corned Beef Hash after you ran your St. Patty's Day race? Did you change your name to O'Sullivan, too?

    Race was alright. I did a long run the day before, and was basically running with my friend. I threw it into high gear at the end and was able to pull an 8:30 mile, but my entire race (3.9 miles or so) took 38.
