My schedule is totally out of whack. It’s finals week, I’m stressed, I’m tired and I have a TON of work to do. That being said I rushed to get to work this morning and totally forgot lunch. ME, “Miss Prepared” didn’t even think about it. I’ve been bringing my lunch all semester without fail. It’s amazing what a small shift in your schedule can do to you. Well, to me. I’m all disheveled.
Since I wasn’t prepared I called up the husband to see what he was doing for lunch and I crashed his ‘date’. He was meeting a coworker at a local place that I’m not too found of. So I ordered a grilled chicken Panini and I thought I’d splurge on some fries. Well the Panini was good, and why wouldn’t it be, it was drenched in butter. I mean so much I could see it on the outside of the bread. YUCK (no, I mean YUM… YUCK, whatever!) ;~)
THIS is why I don’t like eat out anymore. I so could have made a much lighter, just as delicious sandwich at home.
That combined with a slight case of the blues and just being tired is a recipe for overeating. So here goes nothing…
| Morning Scale Reading: 145 | ||
| Food | Points | |
|---|---|---|
| Curves cereal with a handful of blueberries and 4 oz skim milk | 3 | |
| panini disaster and a WHOLE order of fries (no idea – total estimate) | 16 | |
| 2oz pasta with Homemade Sauce Made and 2 Turkey Meatballs | 6 | |
| Pomegranate Watermelon Salad | 1 | |
| bag of soy crisps (yes the whole bag) | 6 | |
| more Doritos (no idea how many, I just grabbed the bag – not a good idea) | 5 | |
| 3 fudge stripe cookies (one of the husbands treats I have a hard time staying away from) | 4 | |
| Total | 41 | |

To make this worse I’m going out to eat with some old friends tomorrow night. I already have that “Oh ‘ef’ it” attitude but I’m trying, I’m really trying! Maybe going to the gym will help tomorrow??

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 [...]

Roni,
I feel the same way. pmsing really hard and I litterally think about food 24/7. I am not even hungry. But yet everthing sounds sooooooo good! hope your day goes better Tuesday. I plan to drown myself in water so maybe I’ll be too full to pig out. Take care
I’ve got finals, too, and a zillion things to grade. I do so much better when my routine isn’t interrupted. Good luck surviving out the semester and enjoy a well-deserved break.
Oh well – back on the horse, girl. Water up, exercise and tomorrow is another day. You may have some water weight to deal with (oooh, girl, the SALT you consumed!!) but in the end, it will be gone, gone. You’re doing great. Try to relax – have some herbal tea. LOTS of it.
Hang in there. DO NOT GIVE UP. Why? because sooner (which should be tomorrow) or later, you WILL WANT to get back to eating healthy. It’s just bound to be that way. Pick yourself up and say, “this is me today. Yesterday was NOT me.” Have a list of foods you’d like to eat for the day like maybe greens, an apple, chicken, etc. and check them off! You got this! Remember, you can still eat healthy on a dinner out tomorrow if you make an effort to adjust the menu and stay on plan. You got this!
My word for the season is SAVOR…If I have to have something good, I at least make myself slow down and TASTE it…have something hot to drink with one cookie…tear away half the bread on that sandwich. You know the drill. btw…everybody is watching your videos and loving them!
Roni, I think you made a slight underestimate in your points with your Panini fiasco, but no big deal. Just remember that nothing tastes better than fit feels. And stay away from those French fries. That was probably 10 points alone.
Top reason I love this site:
There is so much help on here from all the comments that people post! Just by reading this comment section, I have found that everyone deals with this and they have their own (and new to me) ways to cope with a bad day! THANK YOU ALL for posting with your coping mechanisms…especially during the holiday season! And, Roni, you’ll be OK! Think of all of us here supporting you! :)
WOW! Great way to kick up the metabolic rate. Spend a few days on low points and you’ll burn a tonne (at least that’s the theory, and it does seem to work to some extent)
RONI!! You are such an inspiration! Really- just last week I joined the WW community so I could journal online and be accountable for my weight loss journal. Ive been following along for quite sometime! WELL, I totally bombed last weekend. Friday- no kids so the Fiance ( he has a little boy) and I went to Applebees where I decided to have a STEAK ( what was I thinking???)- and a Margarita… KNOWING , KNOWING good and well that my work party was Saturday night! UGGHHH!!! Where I again had STEAK and wine!! It’s really nice to see you write about the ups and downs that we all go thru!! You are truly an inspiration!!
Roni,
I just wanted to let you know that I saw you on the cover of the magazine….and its on a magazine stand in NEWFOUNDLAND, CANADA….imagine, I’m in the middle of Wal-mart listening to the couple in front of me bitch and complain about how much money they spent and a Mother behind me yelling at her child because they are begging for candies…and somewhere in the middle of it all- I’m there in a daze….because I have found some odd connection to the cover of a magazine. I take down the magazine…let it roll through the check out and as the cashier is checking it through- I said “hey, do you know this girl?” and she said “noooo, I don’t have time to do house work, take care of my kids or sleep, let alone have time for a health magazine” and I said “well, let me tell you, I know this girl, well, I don’t really know her, but, I knew she was going to be on this cover and I know all about her weight loss accomplishments” and she said “ok, that’s $44.78″ and ignored me!!! Imagine…she rained on my parade of knowing a celebrity! The gaul and the nerve of the Wal-Mart person! How dare she??
Anyways, I started the rant again when I got home and I convinced my “spouse” that I was crazy. He said “there is NO WAY that you know this girl- its a US magazine”…so, on we went to your site…through my site link…and low and behold…there you were!
Point proven!
Thanks :)
I’m so proud of you!
And, I’m happy I know someone on the cover of a magazine!
Seriously, the less I eat out the better for my points, my wallet, and our well-being mental and physical. It’s too easy to go wrong eating out. Sure, you try to be careful and plan ahead, but when you sit down and see the menu all hell breaks loose.
For me, I try not to eat out as much as possible. I can do so much less ‘damage’ at home.
Thanks guys, you really are the best. I’m doing well and just about to post about it.
And Lou, I agree, I think I totally underestimated it. I only counted the fries at 5, I don’t know what I was thinking. Throw butter in the mix and ‘forgettaboutit’!
Girl on a mission – YOU CRACK ME UP! LMAO
