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!

If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
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 [...]

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 [...]
