Nomikins Gets Real

[Birdy]

Nomikins, I'm catching up too, although ready to sign off and sleep! I like your "My mojo took a break, but it's back on duty." More power to you!

Goooooood Morning, McDougalllllerrrrs!

Since I seem to have crazy success when I post my menu, it's time to get back on the recording wagon. And, accountability makes for better planning, etc. We all know the drill.

Oh, greens! NOW I'm craving...and it's on my menu too.

Glad you got your game back on. Let's get that poundage released, eh? Huh...for me, getting my digestion back to normal is the first goal (and benefit) let alone getting rid of fat.

you go!

[nomikins]

Phew. I made it. Back to non salted as well. Feels soooooo much better.

I'm signed up for two races: half marathon on March 20 and a ten mile race on April 9. Guess it's time to get back in to running on a regular basis.

Since I have decided 2011 is the year of my reinvention, I'm going to start doing more interesting activities instead of the same old same old (which amounts to a lot of nothing, usually). Gonna start a pottery class with a friend on Mondays. Commit to yoga class on Wednesday. Then, starting next month, back to Crossfit for reals, on Tuesday and Thursday (and I finally talked DH into CF - took two years!). Friday is rest day, Saturday is long run day. Sunday is fun day. And, this year will be a smashing one for gardening. YEAH!

So, all this means it's going to be more important than ever to plan my meals. SNAP to the rescue!

Breakfast

• coffee with ½ T. coconut creamer
• steel cut oats, dried cherries, splash almond milk, packet stevia

Snack

• potato
• green beans

Lunch

• brown rice
• california mix veggies
• 3/4 c. black bean and tomato combo
• orange

Snack

• banana

Dinner

• some type of cabbage/tomato dish
• ?
• ?

I'm finally getting comfortably back to the left side of the 180 mark.

hey girl

keep on going. I like the sound of those races (even though I DON'T RUN) you're doing fantastic!

My husband and his two sisters are doing a 10 mile race April 9th also...it could be the same one!

Love the pottery class and yoga class ideas...way to go

[nomikins]

Tarheel 10 miler!

Hey, Jenni, the new season of NoBoundaries running training program is starting up next week.

[jsl]

Yup, that's the one they are doing! Small world...

How are you? Got your mojo back in place?

[Anna Green]

Hi. You sound good! Wonderful plans for the New Year. I'm impressed. I look forward to watching your journey. I think about you almost every time I run.

[nomikins]

I finally figured out my problem. Feast beast crept in even though I kept denying it. Let's just say here's where the rubber meets the road.

Good news is, the below weight is true. I'm not higher and waiting for it to come down in order to feel better. It is what it is.

Moving on....

[jsl]

Well, good, you're back!!!

[nomikins]

Feeling good, eating lots of potatoes and veggies again. Steel cut oats for breakfast. I re-read the calorie density post from Jeff's forum and it's really clicking. Looking forward to getting the weight loss revved again.

Hope y'all have a good weekend.

[Birdy]

Hi Nomikins,
You and me both except you've actually lost a lot of weight already, whereas I'm just getting serious about it. More power to ya!

[nomikins]

Hey kids, I'm still around. Been busy...

Eating potatoes, steel cut oats, greens, and beans. Expecting some more downward movement on the scale this week.

I paid a visit to goodwill yesterday and purchased three pairs of jeans: one each of size 12 (new york & co), size 10 (jones new york), size 8 (ann taylor loft - i think these are brand new). All for less than $12! I am extremely motivated to get into these items. The 12s just about fit, and the 8s are now a decorative item in my boudoir. Cannot wait to wear them in public in a few months!
