10 Truths and a Lie

Hi, friends!

You know that game “Two Truths and a Lie?” Well, if not, it’s an icebreaker game. You think of three statements about yourself: two are true statements and one is false. Then, the other people guess which one is a lie. Simple as that! I thought this game would make a fun post, so here are 10 truths and a lie—many of which are based on things that happened yesterday, but some are totally random. Feel free to guess the lie in the comment section!

Breakfast was a perfect 40/30/30 (40% carbs 30% protein 30% fat). (I entered my meal into MyFitnessPal to determine this.) The combo was: 1 egg 1/2 cup steel cut oats, 1/2 cup Stonyfield plain Greek yogurt, and 1/2 tbsp of Teddie Peanut Butter. I only aim to hit this ratio by the end of the day—not for individual meals—but it’s pretty cool when it happens!

I bought Quinn some new toys yesterday. He loves the xylophone at daycare, so I wanted to get him one for home. We tested out a bunch of different options at Babies R Us and eventually decided on a Baby Einstein play paino that he loved immediately. Look at that concentration!

Ok, let’s mix it up with some random facts…

The guys at CrossFit have been raving about this thing. I’m tempted to buy one myself just so I don’t have to foam roll all the time. Think it would work?

Mal and I started watching Parenthood on the recommendation of a few friends. We’re only two episodes in, but we’re not sure how we feel about it. Should we keep watching it? Does it get better?

We have a big bag of peanut M&Ms in our refrigerator, but I haven’t eaten a single one in 3 days.

I like my pillows like I like my pancakes: soft and fluffy.

I finally tried the S’mores Quest Bar (nuked in the microwave, of course), and I am obsessed. Now I am debating buying a whole box. Is that a good idea or a bad idea? Side note: Monica told me about this Groupon deal for Quest Bars, but, unfortunately, they don’t have the S’mores flavor.

I don’t ‘like’ cat photos on Instagram.

When I make pureed bananas for Quinn, I always steal a couple of bites because they are so good!

I sleep in a bra every night.

I ran 6.25 miles on the treadmill last night and felt awesome—probably the best I’ve felt since starting my marathon training!

Question of the Day

Which statement from above is a lie?
