I did it. Holy CRAP I really did it. I climbed the medium inclined wall at the “Y”. I almost lost my balance 3 separate times and it took every muscle in my body to get up there but I DID IT!!! It was SO EMPOWERING!
Really, there is no better confidence builder then setting a goal and reaching it. Really!
And you know what? Once you reach one goal, your other goals just seem so much more attainable. Almost like goal achievement is contagious. If that makes any sense?
Ok, I’m rambling.
So my next goal is to tackle that wall a few more times and then hit the hard incline. Right now it looks absolutely impossible but you never know. Maybe I’ll tackle it by Christmas!
Other then that I was hit by my girl scout cookie order today. They are just evil. Evil I say!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

WAY TO GO RONI!!!
You did it! You beat the wall! You are awesome!!!
You’re hungry because of the workouts. Don’t worry about it (or the points). If you’re hungry, eat. It will keep your metabolism revved up.
Congrats Roni!
Congratulations! Nothing compares to that sense of accomplishment!!
The girl scout cookies incident scares me…we have 7 boxes on the way. I tried to order ones my kids like and I don’t but I am not sure there is such a thing. Wrapping paper sales are less dangerous!!
WooHoo!! You go girl!! Congrats!!
Thanks for another dose of inspiration!
Congrats on reaching your goal. I had a minor achievement today that really wasn’t a goal, but it felt like a victory. I come up two flights of stairs to get to my office every morning. Today I flew right up those steps and was not the slightest bit out of breath – hoorah! I can remember a time not so long ago when I would be out of breath. There are great reminders of our progress available, other than the scale. Your rock wall is certainly one of them, as are my stairs! Great job.
You know just an FYI, where I live they have 100 calorie packs of girl scout cookies. I think they were called cinnamon swirls and there were tons of cookies in one bag and they were so good and I didn’t have to feel guilty about eating them.
Roni,
So proud of you climbing the wall. You are exactly right about the goals being contagious comment. So true!! I ran my longest race ever a few weeks ago, a 10K and now I feel like I can do anything. Oh, my suggestion on the girl scout cookies…throw them away!! I have no willpower with those so I cannot get near them.
You GO! Very inspiring blog entry today. Thanks. I needed it.
Congrats Roni!!! I know you’ve been working hard at achieving this goal. I am SO proud of you!!
WooHoo!! so awesome for you to climb that wall!!!! DO IT!! You are awesome!!
Congrats on climbing the wall! There’s nothing like setting a goal for yourself and working towards it. Today, I ran my first 10K (6.2 miles) in Camden, NJ, and I feel GREAT!
[...] cleaned up. Then it was off to the gym for my date with the wall. Even though I reached my goal, I know I need practice. And I was right, I couldn’t do it a second time. I climbed my [...]
