Amazingly enough, we’ve reached the last Friday of the month which means Marcia has opened the Runfessional. It’s also time for another Fit Five Friday hosted by me, Darlene, Renee, Jenn, and Zenaida, so let’s dive in.
My February Runfessions
Not funny Mother Nature
I live in New England so honestly, I really shouldn’t be surprised, but I runfess that I am not amused by Mother Nature’s twisted sense of humor. After flirting with spring-like weather for the past couple of weeks, snow and ice have returned this week and are all that can be seen in the upcoming forecast. Seriously?! I ran in shorts on Monday! Sigh…
Cheating on Matty
I started the month motivated to participate in Matty’s enCORE 28 challenge for February on the Peloton app. I runfess that for as much as I enjoy Matty’s classes I got bored of doing only his core classes…so I “cheated” on him with a couple of the other instructors. So the month’s core streak lives, just not all with Matty.
The scale can be blunt
I runfess that my eating habits have gotten lackadaisical. Basically, the “oh it’s the holidays” mindset of December hasn’t left the building. Ahem, it’s now the end of February. I runfess that I can feel the extra pounds on my run…time to reel it in. I’ll be reacquainting myself with MyFitnessPal.
Any Runfessions to share? Is Mother Nature playing games where you are?

Momma N must be on crack, right? Her & Old Man Winter need to end their sick relationship…it’s rather caustic, LOL I did one of Matty’s core challenges last summer (I don’t know if it was the enCORE?), but it was five weeks of the same five classes M-F. I remained faithful, but it did get monotonous!
The weather has been ridiculous lately. We had ice and wind and we lost power yesterday. UGH. I am not a fan. Trying to train for my spring trail race is becoming a joke!
I feel you on the weight gain. I’m trying to get on top of that as well!
We have the same crazy weather
I don’t get on the scale. But if I did I would cry. A whole lotta of eating went down on vacation. And no exercise. Sigh.
I also get bored with the monthly instructor challenges. I prefer to mix things up.
I think we all are experiencing weather whipliash, but at least we don’t have snow here.
I also cheated on Matty lol. I couldn’t resist the new ones that popped up! We have had 50 degree temp changes this week it’s crazy. I revisit my fitness pal a few times a week mostly to make sure my protein is on track! It really helps me

I’ve had issues with the scale as well. Running is the first place I feel the extra weight. Ugh. Yeah the weather has been completely nuts. After a mega ice storm it’s a brisk 14 degrees here this morning. Over it!
I don’t even want to talk about weather. I feel like I’m living on a different planet than everyone else! But your post is a good reminder of why I live in Florida (and I need reminders right now!)
“It must be the collar”- I love that so much. Yes, we have all sorts of excuses, don’t we???
I definitely gained a lot of weight this year. It’s coming back off. Boo for having to watch it, but yay that I’m making the change. I guess.
I haven’t stepped on the scale in quite some time but it’s not pretty. My eating habits are mostly good, but I dunno — menopause catching up with me? Even though I’m 5 years post menopausal?
You know our weather is much the same. Still I truly am grateful it was a small amount of snow & ice — could’ve been much worse.
Our weather has been nutty, too. Someone said it’s like Powerball numbers – LOL. Chilly this AM for sure.
I hear you on the holiday treats. My step-MIL sent us 3 POUNDS of See’s candy for just the two of us. Oy!
That mother nature meme is the best!
I cheated on Matty too. But also there were times I was too tired to try and find the class and just did a Matty core. We won’t call the Pelo police on one another
Yes, the weather has been crazy around here, too. It got into the 70’s here on Thursday and it’s supposed to start snowing at any minute. Our neighbor’s cherry tree is in full bloom – that will look pretty with snow on the blossoms.
I love the pup on the scales meme! I could use a little reigning in on my eating as well. 😉
