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!

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
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 [...]

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!!
