I feel yucky. Yup, yucky, and bleh. Those are about the only words to describe me right now. I’m exhausted, tired, stuffed, bloated and overall YUCKY!
I ate too much every day since the day before Thanksgiving. That’s how many days? Ummmm *counting on fingers* 4, FOUR days of being out of routine, having more temptation and totally just eating what I wanted, when I wanted it. Is it possible to gain 25 points in 4 days? Because that’s how I feel right now.
Tomorrow is a new day. I returned home tonight. I don’t care how tired I am tomorrow, I AM going to a Weight Watchers meeting, I AM working out and I AM going to journal in loss mode for the next few weeks.
For those that don’t know my “loss mode” is when I go back to basics with Weight Watchers and Flex points. I start tracking weekly points and keeping a food journal 7 days a week. Normally I do my version of maintenance where I track only during the week and just try to stay under 30 points.
So for as much as I got off track this past week I’m not letting it get me down. Don’t beat yourself up, it’s not worth it. I lived it up for thanksgiving and now I’m home. I know what needs to be done and now I’m going to do it. It’s that simple!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I’ll be back tomorrow with a full report on my official weigh in (oh god, I’m trying not to think about it) and first food journal of the week.
Have a great night!

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 [...]

Your not the only one! I have been eating terrible since Wednesday and I’m so bloated and feel so gross and the scale isn’t my friend right now! But we can get back on track!! ; )
All I can say is “Me too!” Tomorrow is another day! I grabbed your magazine today–how exciting for you! I can’t wait to read it!
Me three!
Me Four!!!
OK so I’m jumpin on the counting points wagon too! I’ve been struggling for way too long and I need to get more consistant.
Roni… I haven’t had the chance to comment on your page lately…I’ve been away. But I’m just so happy for you about being on the cover of Women’s world….what a nice treat for Thanksgiving! I haven’t picked up my copy yet but I will be the next time I’m in town. I just keep thinking of that song about being on the cover of the rolling stones….”gonna buy 5 copies for my mother….gonna see my smiling face on the cover of the rolling stones!” Yep that’s our Roni!!! Good for you!
And I love, love, love your new food page….don’t know how you fit all this stuff in but I’m glad you do! And the toddler is way cute!
Have a good week Roni….you will be feeling better in no time!

I am so the same. We’ve had Thanksgiving things every day since the day before Thanksgiving. Today though is finally back to “normal”. I am bloated for sure, but stepped on the scale today and had a 4 lb gain. I nearly cried.
It’s so great to know that I am not alone here. I really need to get back to basics too!
Accountability, commitment. That’s what will set you apart from those who will continue to gain, then just give up.
You recognize that you overdid it, which I believe is typical/normal behavior over the holidays, you admit it to yourself and others, and you are making the commitment to get right back on track. This is why you were,are and will continue to be successful at keeping off the weight. No reason to beat yourself up. Celebrate that you can still indulge on occasion so long as you get back into your routine (and maybe work a little extra hard for a few days). A few days of indulgence will not cancel out the good habits you follow the rest of the time :)))))

Roni,,I cannot believe the discipline I’ve had,,and even with Thanksgiving,I did not touch any pie,,bread, sweets..I ate what I wanted for years,,slowly gained,,went on a cruise in Sept,,and looked 9 months pregnant in my pants…the day I got home I started..and have lost 15 of my 20-25 lbs..The feeling of being stuffed in a pair or pants,,is not worth the 5 minutes of goodies,,right now,,I do not even have a desire to go off WW,,I am taking full advantage of this,,its lasted 3 months,,hope it lasts for my lifetime,,You have been a huge source of encouragement..THANK YOU,,
Roni,
Me too. I ate SO well during Turkey week but last month, I gained a good 10 lbs. I’ve lost 6 of them, but I had to start journaling 7 days a week, too. I’m right along with you. You are not alone and you’re a HUGE inspiration. Every time I want to “cheat,” I hear you in my head….thanks so much!

Roni: You can pretty much sign my name to your post and it would say the very same thing. I way over did it before/during/after Thanksgiving. I’ve been tracking like a woman scorned now! We’ve done this before, we can do this again. Oh, and I picked up ‘your magazine’ yesterday. You look great!
Roni,
I have also been really good so far for the holidays. I seem to be doing great by staying busy. I bake, clean, and organize to stay on track. And even though I am a lifetime member, I weigh in at meetings every other week to stay on track. I am currently 12 pounds under my original goal and happy.. You guys can all do it!!!! BELIEVE!
I agree with staying busy. I rarely sit down during the day and my motto is “There’s always something to clean.” I started at a size 20/22 and 230lbs and I am now a size 4/6 and 137.5lbs. I love weight watchers. It works if you work the program. All take care!
Hey Roni I just saw you at kroger. and yesterday at wal mart. haha. Anyway I know exactly how you fell I feel absolutely gross,bloated yuck yuck yuck…Back on the wagon tommorrow…
AMEN SISTER!! I am so glad Thanksgiving is over!! I ate so much but tomorrow is a new day!!
I think everyone is feeling pretty much STUFFED today! I know I am!! Loved the article in the magazine too by the way!! you looked fablious!!
