Great post!<br /><br />Agreed working out definitely is a confidence booster! I feel incredible after races, especially marathons. <br /><br />Any time I get down on myself I remind myself all of the amazing things I have accomplished in this fabulous body I have and with the wonderful life I am living!<br /><br />Love the boots too by the way!Britt - Runnerbellehttp://www.runnerbelle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-16843086183144051132009-12-25T19:17:33.872-05:002009-12-25T19:17:33.872-05:00Oh YOU&#39;RE *Naomi*!! Nice to &#39;meet&#39; you!<br /><br />I also feel confident after I exercise- perhaps it&#39;s the endorphins :-)<br /><br />I was thinking as I saw your differing pizzas that it&#39;s how my hubs and I eat too- mine is always slightly different. A calorie saved...<br /><br />Woot on the calories burned in class- holy moly!

I was just talking to someone about how I love working out because I love the feeling it gives me after. When I work really super hard it really does boost my confidence for the entire day. There is something about taking care of yourself that makes me feel fabulous the whole day. Oh btw, that mustard sounds amazing! If you ever get that recipe I would love to know how to make it=)<br />My favorite cereal is kind of a random mix. I cant just stick to one flavor! At the moment my favorite mix is, puffed millet, puffed wheat, fiber one and some crispy brown rice. Soooo good with some almond milk.<br />The game looks really fun too! Oh I had a question for ya! So Ive been wanting to try and mix some egg whites in my oatmeal. Looks like a fabulous idea! But im afraid I wont cook my eggs enough...Do you just nuke it in the microwave for like a minute? Will that cook them thoroughly enough? Id love to try it. Looks awesome. Have a great day sweetie!!chrystad72http://www.blogger.com/profile/06362995085776502206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-82882703673576395672009-12-22T15:37:06.480-05:002009-12-22T15:37:06.480-05:00Things I loved:<br /><br />Clue, Monopoly, Life<br /><br />Confidence = clothes that fit awesome<br /><br />Cereal = NP Maple Peacan CrunchErinhttp://walkinthisworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-15024598186927318282009-12-22T14:23:12.263-05:002009-12-22T14:23:12.263-05:00Awesome post! Your paragraph on exercise making you feel good about yourself could have been taken straight from my head :) I sometimes find myself feeing bad for people who have never felt that rush after a great spin class or killer lift session. I wear my heart rate monitor for everything, and it&#39;s interesting, I definitely get my heart rate soring during leg workouts but not so much for upper body, though definitely more so on power days than light days.<br /><br />I adore my Magic Bullet but had never thought to whip eggs in it!

Confidence is KEYYY! I have so much more of it nowadays...and I can&#39;t help but feel like a million bucks walking down the street in a kick-ass outfit and my aviators on...it sounds lame, but I just feel so damn good. haha &quot;Hey everyone, come see how good I looook!&quot; ...Ron Burgundy - Anchorman. haha <br /><br />I also agree with you about the gym. I don&#39;t get the point of going if you arent&#39; really working..when I get to the gym, I work my ASS off...I&#39;m sweating and red and it&#39;s glorious! I&#39;d rather have someone stare at me and be like &quot;Damn, she&#39;s working HARD&quot; than look at me and thing &quot;Is she even breaking a sweat? Is that newly applied eyeliner???&quot;Jilhttp://peaceluvmunchies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-35608759336266340192009-12-22T13:34:32.848-05:002009-12-22T13:34:32.848-05:00Ah, I love your clip about confidence. Self-confidence is key! Exercising defintely boosts my confidence level. I&#39;m usually one of the sweatiest people in the gym, particularly for a girl, but my own confidence keeps the boys still looking at me rather than those over-make-up girls (it could be that they&#39;re looking at the dripping sweat, but nonetheless, my confidence would like to say that&#39;s not what they&#39;re staring at).FoodFitnessFreshairhttp://foodfitnessfreshair.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-19677656049680504912009-12-22T13:14:50.324-05:002009-12-22T13:14:50.324-05:00Wow yummy oats and holy calorie burn girl!!!

So many women completely lack it and others just think they&#39;re DA BOMB. I think it&#39;s important to keep a realistic balance :)<br /><br />That mustard looks great by the way. I&#39;ve never heard of homemade mustard before!<br /><br />My favourite boardgame was monopoly. Still is.<br /><br />Confidence? Feeling strong after a workout &amp; being kind to people. :)<br /><br />Gosh, I love all the cereal that&#39;s very very bad for you.. anything with Kellog&#39;s on it as I ate that stuff all the time when I was a kid.Karinhttp://givemebananas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-52052343069867914342009-12-22T09:43:49.368-05:002009-12-22T09:43:49.368-05:00loveeeeeeeeeeeee this post. Agree totally- working out makes me feel strong and confident. I must say though, after running a race- I have never felt more confident! Such a rush. Love your uggs! Josh and I are pretty practical at this point too. For Birthdays, we&#39;ll buy special gifts, but for Christmas we usually decide what we want together (this year it was to go on vacation in March). Love those pita pizzas- so delicious.Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16761350918719977604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-86429428518634185172009-12-22T08:11:45.831-05:002009-12-22T08:11:45.831-05:00A good workout always makes me feel good. I purposely planned a good run yesterday because I had to take my last chemistry final of the semester. 12 miles later, I went in to my test feeling like I would ace it.

I definitely feel confidence after exercising (slightly more seeing how many calories you are burning at spin class, I must be burning at least close right!?). I also feel confidence after accomplishing something like getting my masters, running a race, etc. <br /><br />I think I am very confident, I know I have weaknesses, but I know have strengths as well. It&#39;s interesting you talk about the people on the bachelor as having confidence...I don&#39;t know if they really do...I think sometimes people who are not as confident are the ones who have to go on a show like that (not that I dont&#39; enjoy watching it haha) and &quot;beat out the next bitch next to them&quot; is someone who does not have as much confidence...<br />in my opinion anyways :)Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198494915855604531.post-68799665136572830352009-12-22T01:32:39.443-05:002009-12-22T01:32:39.443-05:00i got all teary reading this post Naomi.. i was feeling so down, so not confident for the past while.. well really still am a bit.. but reading this helped me. &lt;3<br />I need to find my confidence again.

My fave was always monopoly but it takes forever to play. We do scrabble a lot.<br /><br />As for confidence, I think knowing that I know what I know in my area of expertise and I have been recognized for this, I feel confident in my job and profession, which carries over into my personal life.<br /><br />My fave cereal right now was the strawberry yogurt natures path I just finished. I am sure in my cereal mess here I will find another favorite natures path cereal shortly.<br /><br />Glad you are feeling confident!!!MelindaRDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16523272874667790035noreply@blogger.com
