True Confessions

[ 19 ] 06/22/2010 |

Big, deep sigh.

True Confessions time.  Again.  I just “confessed” last week, after not “confessing” for a very long time.  What more could I have to say?  Well, there is always more to say and in this case, confess.

The good part is that I don’t have to do it alone.  You guys get to confess with me- wheeeee!!!!  So I’ll take a turn and you can learn about how great my week/month has been and all the “confessions” rolling around in my head, and then you can head to your blog, post your own confessions and then come back here to share your link in the comments. 

Deal?

Ok, here we go.

  1. Remember how last week I said I hadn’t stepped on a scale in over a month, maybe 6 weeks?  Well, I stepped on the scale this morning WTH was I thinking? and was not all together surprised to see that my weight has increased skyrocketed to the tune of 7 lbs.  Stress, weeks of vacation, and a good ole dose of “I just didn’t effing care” is what I attribute this gain to.  Yes, I realize that it is not Weigh-In day but I truly felt the need to unload this, onto all of you.  I am only human and I, too, fall off the wagon at times.  Now, it is time to climb back on and steer my weight loss in the right direction.
  2. I had not realized how much stress I was carrying from the half marathon training until it was over.  I almost feel carefree!  Don’t get me wrong, being part of Team Shrinking Jeans was an amazing experience and pushed me beyond my comfort zone, but boy oh boy, was the entire four months of our training stressful for me.  Now that it is over, I am enjoying my workouts again AND I feel like I have some free time as much free time as you can have with 3 kids, ha ha.    
  3. I drink 90+ oz of water PER DAY.  EVERY DAY.  What about you?
  4. I am slowly returning to eating 5 servings of fruits and veggies per day.  Today (Monday evening), I have had 3 servings.  I think I will snack on some fruit after I finish this post.  Speaking of the healthy stuff, have you check out our newest mini-challenge?
  5. My kitchen is dirty and I wish I had a kitchen fairy to come clean it up.  Actually, I wish I had a fairy godmother who would wave her magic wand and make my house magically clean, instantly.  Every week.  And the laundry done, too.  IJS.

OK, now it’s your turn.  Have fun and don’t forget to share your link in the comments below!

    Cracker Barrel on Father's Day. Sigh.

  • SanDiego Reader

    When you find the fairy, I have 6 loads waiting :)

    Waffle House, girl. Multiple times. I don't know how I managed to avoid Cracker Barrel on our cross country road trip. Maybe it's because the Waffle House got in the way. Sigh.

    The worst thing is that I haven't been able to get the fried chicken out of my head, even while doing level 3 of the 30 Day Shred. I've got it bad…

  • http://christy.shrinkingjeans.net Christy_TheSistherhood

    Ouch! Yeah, I avoid fried chicken like the plague. It's tough! Do I need to send over tiny gnomes to brainwash you?

  • http://www.superdumbsupervillain.com/ superdumb

    No, to be honest I didn't even have the fried chicken- Bob did. But lust was in my heart, if you know what I mean. I'm trying to be strong!

  • lastminutemandy

    Um, can you tell your cleaning fairy to stop by here? And I'll throw and extra 20 her way if she organizes some of my mess as well!

    My turn — I confess, I fell down on the job: http://idratherbecrafting.blogspot.com/2010/06/…

    Not gonna blog my confessions but here they are…
    1) Yesterday I was so frustrated about gaining so much weight over the past few weeks. I handled it so well, by eating 3 brownies, a can of Pringles, the had a LARGE order of fries and 4 nuggets from McDonalds and washed it down with a Large coke.
    2) Paid for it with stomach ache and spent the work night on and off in the bathroom.
    3) Had to leave work 2 hours early because I was so miserable; therefore losing 2 full hours of pay.
    4) Think I have finally learned my lesson — have had nothing to eat today except some saltines and a small plate of plain pasta and 2 Seven Ups.
    5) Packed my lunch for the night — Saltines and Seven Up.
    Tomorrow is a new day and I'm hoping I feel well enough to start treating my body right again!! Nothing like spending several hours in the bathroom to give me a kick in the a$$.
