I’m starting today.
So much for my Holiday Goals! Remember them?
- Enjoy myself and RELAX – Check. Kind of. I had a FABULOUS Christmas Eve and Christmas. I wasn’t even on the computer for about 48 hours straight, that may be a new record for me! But I still had to take care of some stuff. Ahhh the life of an over achiever. ;~P
- Mindful eating – Oh it was mindful alright. The cookies were mindful, the candy was mindful the seconds, thirds and fourths were mindful. Man I think I just mindfully ate my way through 3 days.
- Drink Water – So so. I started off good but then I got lazy.
Normally, after a 3 day Christmas eating bender I’d just say “F” it and continue to be out of control until New Years. As if on New Years day the Sun and Moon will come into perfect alignment and I will find the much needed will power to stay in control. What a bunch a crap. It’s funny how my mind works.
So if you are in the same boat as I and fell off the wagon… “GET OVER IT”
You came, you celebrated, you allowed come Holiday indulgences now it’s time to get back on track!
I hope you will join me! I’ll be back later will my food journal and daily post.

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 [...]

I did the same thing Roni. I went to a meeting last night (with only 4 other members). It feels good to get back on the wagon because I want to not because of a New Years resolution.
This is exactly what I needed to read this morning (before shoving yet another sugar cookie in my mouth…wouldn’t want to waste!). I’m back on the wagon with ya as of now. Happy New Year!
How funny, I totally made that decision this morning – hmmm, am I going to live it up until New Years or knock it off right now? It was already becoming kind of normal again to be out of control so I went grocery shopping and stocked the house with stuff. Good Luck to you Roni and to all of us!!
I did exactly the same thing way too much stuff over christmas actually it wasn’t a great december however yesterday i journaled, stayed op, walked for 60 mins and drank my water and boy do i feel much better. We can all definitely do it ;)
I’m with you!
My back on track day is today! Why wait right? Do we want to feel bloated and gross in our New Year’s outfit? Nope. Not me! I had a great Holiday but today isn’t a Holiday and neither is tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday for that matter? So don’t treat it like one. We had our fun, now it’s back to business!
Luckily I had to work yesterday (the 26th), so I was able to get right back on my routine. I even worked out last night, and it feels SO good! I left all of the leftover cookies, candy, etc at mom’s house, so I’m starting with a clean slate. Starting on Jan 1 is too cliched anyway :) Good luck everyone!
I’m totally on the wagon! I rejoined WW last week, and I lost 1.4 lbs the first week, which isn’t great, but, considering it was Christmas…
To be honest, New Year’s is going to be more of a challenge for me. But I’m on the wagon now and loving it!
yeah, I was with you, right back on track as of the 26th, I don’t have huge new years plans (either eve or day), so I should be OP those days. No reason to let one bad day turn into a bad week and into a bad month.
Ug, back on the wagon.
After nearly 2 weeks of lazy tracking and then one full week of no tracing at all and horrible eating/little to no exercise, I managed to get by with only gaining half a pound. Though, I don’t dare risk it anymore. Plus, I feel bloated and sick from all the candy and carbs I have been mindlessly eating. My body is revolting and I need to start listening. So it’s back to tracking and back to running 4 days a week. Back to normal sized portions and healthy snacks.
One thing that makes getting back on the wagon hard for me is that I swear my stomach has stretched from all the over eating and as a result I get hungry more often and normal portions are less filling. It takes me a good 2 weeks to get past that feeling. Maybe its all in my head ;)
Best of luck to everyone. I never realized how hard it is to stay on track this time of year!
-Holly
Holly – my friend who I am doing WW with and I are totally in line with you. We are so hungry today it is ridiculous so it is not in your head. I think that the carbs and extra sugar really play with insulin levels which affects hunger. So it is real. It will get better!
Thanks Roni and everyone. I tried so hard to journal but failed…I have moved on…promise. Thanks everyone for sharing. It feels good to know I am not alone.
Take care.
Great job by being strong and getting back on track! I actually laughed out loud with your “F” it. I’m usually like that too, i think so ….I’ve already screwwed up here, why not do in-n-out and make myself sick!
Being an ex-ww’er, I’ve decided to go back to the meetings and the point logging! You are great inspiration for me to want to get back on the program!
A few days ago, I read a post on a message board that compared losing weight to going to rehab. Well, if weight loss is like rehab, the 26th must have been detox day for me. I didn’t really like the fact that I had to go back to work, but I think it helped me get back into my routine. I packed my meals and snacks, and I set aside specific times to eat. At the end of the day, I think it worked. When I feel myself falling off the wagon, I just get strict with myself.
One of my stocking stuffers was a one-pound bag of M&Ms. I am planning to open the bag, but I’m going to make 100-calorie packs and set them aside for my daily chocolate fix.
I totally do the same thing! I also know firsthand how that “a platter of bad desserts down…screw the rest of the days” can be. I am in it now!
But I am sure one day back on track and you will remember how great it feels. Happy resolutions!
Yes, we are ALL with on this one. I gained a good 4 pounds in two weeks and now I have to work my hiney off (literally) to get them to go away….4 pounds isn’t a big deal, but I was SOOO close to my goal….I’m glad the holidays are just about over so I can stay focused and work hard to see great results…goodness, it’s already time to work on that bikini body…not that I’ve ever owned one, but I’m hoping to this year!!! You’re doing a fantastic job!!!
Great attitude. You went you ate you thought about it and now you’re getting over it. I’m glad to say that I did not over eat this holiday but I have not moved much either so I’m equally as guilty.
I have no doubt that you will jump right back on that wagon BEFORE teh sun and moon align ;) and you’ll do great as always. You always do and this just proves that it is aalways a struggle no matter how long ago you reached goal and you’re human just like us. Sorry but I kinda like knowing that even though you seem like super woman your human just like me :).
I hope those cookies and candy were good!
