H&F confessions

[Deleted]

I have fallen in love with Triscuit brown rice tomato and basil crackers. They are amazing but somewhat high calorie so I try to eat a serving (6 crackers) instead of an entire box at a time.

When I count out my six sad little crackers I eat the broken ones I find and don't use them in my calorie count.  My assumption here is when they break the calories escape.

I'm addicted to animal crackers with my morning coffee

[Deleted]

Of course they don't count!!

I ate nothing but crap all last week--between our anniversary (mmm...Italian dinner and cheesecake) and dh being in the hospital for a few days (mmm...Carl's Jr. next door and candy). It was delicious---but now that I'm back at work and back to trying not to suck at eating. But Twix bars are so good......

Also--strength training? What 's that?

I have been BLOWING it lately, 95% thanks to Whole Foods' dark chocolate sea salt caramels. But it's ok 'cause they're WF so they're "healthy" ::eyeroll::

DH wasn't home for dinner last night, and I was too damn lazy to make anything. This means that dinner consisted of: A few bites of leftover chicken fried quinoa, a small piece off leftover steak, a leftover slice of homemade pizza, and hummus w/pita chips. lol I should be embarrassed, but I had a big spinach salad for lunch & a few servings of fruit throughout the day, so, whatever. Plus, I'm kinda proud of the fact that I ate our leftovers instead of them being thrown away at the end of the week.

There's a 70% chance of rain for my tri on Saturday. I went to ride my bike this morning, and it was drizzling, so I turned around at the end of my driveway and went back inside. Um, if it's going to rain Saturday, I should ride in the rain today. Fail.

Have you ever heard of brownie brittle? It is dangerous stuff. In a matter of days the entire bag just disappears into my mouth. I am not buying any more even though it is so tasty.

let me guess? you ate it all while standing in front of the fridge/microwave.  except for the chips.  those were consumed in front of the TV? this was totally me mid marathon training the last time around when I didn't have someone to feed me. 

my confession is that I don't really read race reports. mostly I skim. unless it's in your blog.  then I'm probably not reading it at all.  I'm super proud of each and every one of you, but I don't need a play by play (unless it's a race I'm planning on running because I'm a selfish dick like that).

This was my mom's theory growing up too!  Therefore I always eat the broken cookies, crackers, etc. first

H is out of town again this weekend and I fully intend on existing on turkey hot dogs and mac and cheese because I am an adult, that's why.

This! I just bought some (never shop hungry) after work this week. Sosososo good! And because of that, I will never buy it EVER AGAIN!

I'm scared to go to running group on Saturday because I have run as many miles this month (so far) as I did in the first week of July. Yikes.

clseale - I'm impressed that you had leftovers period. At our house when there is anything that should be left over we usually divide it in half (or 2/3 for H, 1/3 for me) and eat it anyway. (That's probably why you have awesome abs. I mean that in the least creepy way possible.)

I saw this at the store and was intrigued, now I'm not sure if I should or should not buy it!

I dont like brownie brittle. It just makes me wish i had a brownie. Its not satisfying at all.

The registration fee for the hm i plan to run in spetmeber went up yesterday. Ive known this for MONTHS. i totally forgot to register. Its only $5 more now, and i can wait until after i run 12 miles this weekend, but still im annoyed at myself.

[wambam]

I am about to drop a LOT of money on weight lifting shoes. My H will not be pleased with this.

[enfuego23]

I ate 3 chocolate truffles out of boredom and stress about my one "loose" pair of jeans feeling tight - ugh:/

I went in for a full physical and my white blood cell count came back low - it's freaking me the F out. My doctor wants to recheck in a month and that is agony to me.

I'm dreading going back to school and as I type this I know many of you are rolling your eyes because you think I should be grateful I had the summer off and not bitch about going back to work.

[clseale]

Haha, thanks Brit. We must just make way too much food at our house.

ebeth, if it weren't for the fact that I know you understand marathon training, I would think you had a hidden camera in my house. That's exactly how it played out.

I would live on cereal and butter noodles when I was childless and H was traveling. It was really more awesome than it sounds.  It is good I don't live alone.

My lunch today consisted of: baby carrots and ranch dressing, spicy Asian snack mix, goldfish crackers, shortbread cookies, dark chocolate Milano cookies, cheddar cheese, butter crackers, and soda. Thank you, United airport lounge.

I am about to spend way too much money on a 5k registration that requires an overnight hotel stay. But I just cannot not run the inaugural Duck Commander Duck Dash.

I fixed brownies last night and they are all gone except for what DH cut and stored for his piece. Sure they only fit into an 8x8 pan but...

[mrs.jacinthe]

I came home from swimming last night and was all "Hey R, you have plans for dinner? No? Good - we're going to go eat chips and salsa and drink margaritas." I justified this by ordering the veggie burrito instead of something with meat.

Uhhhh. I'm pretty sure I ate 10x my weight in calories last night. And probably drank half of it. LOL

[Brit]

wambam - They're so pretty!

@vtcupcake - You used the word zaftig. That's like a throwback to HS vocab tests! We should have an H&F word of the day. Today's word: zaftig; Brit looked totally zaftig after marathon training because she did not even try to rein in her runger for the past 18 weeks.

I spent $160 at lululemon today. I was not-so-secretly pleased that the number of items I purchased warranted one of the big bags. DH, DS, and I bought 8 cupcakes yesterday, for the three of us to consume, likely before tomorrow.

Fun! What did you get? (Feel free to describe both LLL & cupcakes.)

Been esting pretty healthy lately but I bought two containers of ice cream and have been having some every night.

[mrsjthompson]

I'm sick of meal planning and tired of salads. I want frozen pizzas and mexican food!

[rfs13]

I had a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato for lunch - along with fries and a rootbeer. It was delish!! And now mh is requesting burgers and tater tots for dinner. Gee, can't imagine why I'm packing on the pounds. i need to sign up for another marathon to support my eating habits.
