This is going to be super quick. I’m not even sure if you will be able to read it! I’ve been having problems with blogger now. It’s like the blog gods just don’t want to have me posting! First, I lose my whole site when the database crashed and now blogger just doesn’t want to publish my blog fully. I think I will be changing back to WordPress soon, which mean more work for me and possible a little down time, although I will try my hardest for that not to happen. More on that later in the week, I have to plan it out a bit.
I did weigh in and I AM GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION! Sorry I didn’t mean to yell I’m just a little frustrated at myself. I know it’s not the end of the world. I know I didn’t gain 70lbs back. I know I’m not overweight. I just would feel a lot better if I could get back into my maintenance range. I know I can do it and I will. I just needed to vent a little.
I DID workout out today and I feel FABULOUS! I created my workout progress page in celebration of my first week as a “gym rat”. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Ok, like I said, cutting this short, Blogger is acting up so I hope this gets posted. I will be back tomorrow to update my weight progress page and fill you in more on my weekend. I’m going out tonight with the husband! Babysitter is on her way!

I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

hi roni!
i am a 22 year old girl in hollywood, ca. first of all i want to congratulate you on your success! you seriously look AMAZING!!! you could give some of these hollywood celebs a run for their money! ;)
also, you have a beautiful little boy. kudos to you for changing your life in order to make his the best possible! i see way too many parents passing terrible nutritional and lifestyle habits to their children, leaving them with physical and emotional setbacks. it makes me SO UPSET when i see that… i am really proud of you for doing something very difficult for your son’s best interests!
i read your story at msn.com “success stories” page. i saw that some of your trigger foods are pizza, pasta, and stromboli… yum! anyway i wanted to stop by and give you a few ideas for alternative foods that help satisfy that craving.
first on my list: pita pizzas! top a wheat pita bread with pizza sauce and your favorite pizza veggies! go easy on the meats, and if you must use cheese, use the very least harmful you can get. bake them in the oven, directly on the middle rack, at about 400 until the pita is crispy and the veggies are cooked. depending on which vegetables you use, you may have to pre-cook them a little bit; depending on the pita bread, you may have to bake it a tiny biy to harden it first, but it’s not likely. if the pita will be in the oven for a while, cooking spray may be necessary on the bottom. best of all, you can have fun making these with your son! kids love making these.
secondly, i highly recommend making a dish similar to pasta but using brown lentils or cooked veggies instead of pasta! you can use pasta sauce or pizza sauce and add all the vegetables you want! one of the simplest versions is without sauce at all: just brown lentils with diced canned tomatoes, a bit of red wine and a few spices. it’s a delicious, satisfying, healthy meal!
lastly, i highly recommend roasted vegetable wraps. roast whichever vegetables you like. i recommend onions, tomatoes, and red bell peppers… but be creative! add butternut squash, mushrooms, sweet potato, asparagus, fennel, artichoke… be sure you add the softer veggies (tomatoes, mushrooms) later. eggplants do not work well for this. anyway, sprinkle vegetables with olive oil, lemon/lime/vinegar, and spices; spread them out as much as possible on a baking sheet or roasting pan, making sure to add the tomatoes later, and bake at 400-425 until they’re ready! wrap them in tortillas and they’re especially good with salt & vinegar baked chips, if you can spare the calories!
i hope you enjoy these ideas to satisfy those cravings when they come. also, don’t worry about your recent slip-ups… just think about how it feels to know that your body is clean and your future is bright!
I hate it when blogger acts up! You have done a great job maintaining so I am confident you will get there. Maybe doing the exercising is throwing things off…could you be eating more because you are hungrier with exercising? Just a thought. Good luck getting back on track…I know you can do it!
Mel
Roni, you’ll be fine. You have had a lot going on that has taken you out of your routine. Cut yourself a break, get back on track and all will be fine…Heck, that is what you would tell me, and you would be right
Roni, you gotta keep in mind that when you begin a new workout routine your body ALWAYS retains fluids at first. It’s your muscles repairing themselves and making themselves stronger. Just drink more water and I PROMISE it will go away.
Roni.. your going to gain weight when you start working out!!! Give it a few months to level out. Its one reason they recommend not working out when you first start a new “diet” or “lifestyle”. Relax!!!
Also if you are weighing after you workout… DONT!! You will retain water after you workout, its normal.
It’s muscle weight and water weight. Keep working out and it will disappear.
Anar
I aggree with the others about the muscle and initial water retention. You’re doing a great job! Maybe talk to a trainer at the gym and have him take your measurements and do a fat analysis. This way you can ignore the scale and go based on that since you WILL start noticing a physical difference from being so committed. You are doing a great job!!!
Okay… remember, muscle weighs more than fat… so now that you are working out, you are building muscle mass and you may gain a few extra pounds Keep working out and drinking water and it will level out and you will probably loose past your lowest.
Amy
Roni
When you first start working out you will gain weight, BUT it will drop! You’re starting to build muscle which holds water temp.
This happened to me, and sure enough I had a big weight drop several weeks later. Just hang in there.
Just so you know, I saw that you said you have gained a little. Don’t be too worried. It is probably because you have started exercising more regularly. When you gain muscle it weighs more than fat. So the scale goes up, but no big deal because you will feel better and be more toned. Also eventualy it evens out and you are able to lose weight agin, it is just usually at first for the first three weeks or so when you add exersice.
Ok, I just have to tell you I’ve followed you for months and this is the first time commenting. Good for you on the gym. I used to have a membership but finding the time working full time and two busy kids, I spent more than I used it. I have a 10 yo treadmill in the basement but it got boring quickly. So I broke down and bought a Elliptical. I love it. Unfortunately it is in my family room still and needs to hit the basement but having it in the living room my 12 yo and almost 11 yo jump on it as well. Talk about building healthy habits. I had my first wi tonight since using it religiously since last wed and I too was up. Only .2 but still. The leader said the same as these folks have about patience while the body adjusts so let’s hope so. Good luck.
