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 | |
| Daily Activity Log | ||
| nada | ||
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??

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 [...]

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
