Why can’t I say that line without thinking Susan Powter? Remember her? But man she had it right, didn’t she? It really is insanity.
Today I was a bottomless pit. Finally after a hours of constant eating I said “That’s enough!, I’m going to take a bath.”
That was about 45 minutes ago. Now it’s off to bed early. I wasn’t even going to post but after the bath I felt renewed and figured I’d let you in on what was happening with me today.
We did have a great day. I got the gym in, we went shopping and I made some good healthy food but nothing would satisfy me. I just kept wanting to munch. At least I stuck to mostly good nutritious choices except for those GOSH DARN Swedish fish. Yes thanks ‘husband’, thanks A LOT!! (it was his big idea to buy the humongous bag at the whoesale store today)
Alright, it’s off to bed, I need sleep, I really am overtired today.

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,,Somehow,,via this delightful webpage,,you have become a very special friend. Thank you for taking the time out to share,,and help so many of us,,Good night,,and have a OP Sunday!
Hello Roni,
My name is Kelly (from Wisconsin) and I discovered your blog about 3 weeks ago. I cannot tell you enought how much I love it! You are so inspiring to me and I love your journals, videos, and recipes. You seem so down to earth and I feel like I have known you forever. I am also 30 something (35 to be exact) and I have been on weight watchers before (3x’s now)and I am a Mom. I am trying to lose that last 20 pounds (am at 165) right now. Anyways the reason for my comment today is because I was feeling really guilty about all my cravings I had today until I read your post. Thank you so much for making me smile. I actually had to show my husband your journal today. I’m like “hey honey check this out….I am not the only one who was snacky today” He laughed. I love your videos, it is awesome to see what the food should actually look like after cooking it. I hate cooking, but after watching your videos, I am trying new things and I do not feel sooo green anymore. I don’t want to sound like a stalker, but I used your shopping list yesterday and I am trying your apple pie oatmeal tomorrow. I am so excited :o) Thanks again for your awesome blog! Keep up the awesome journaling because it really makes my day and I am going to lose those last 20 pounds this time! You ROCK sistafriend!
Kelly
Hey Roni!
I was thinking that you sound a lot like me a few months ago regarding wanting to munch. I was wondering if eating more protein when you want to munch might help? I am in no way an expert and don’t want to tell you what to do but…I am just wondering if you are really hungry from your exercise? Protein just might fill you up a bit more. It is recommended that you eat protein as soon as you can after a work out. Again, sometimes I know you just have the munchies and I am not an expert. I have learned so much from you. I just thought I would share with you what helped me as I was always hungry. I run or ride the bike for 30 mins and found I was always hungry – no matter how much I tried to ignore it. Protein helped. I eat hard boiled eggs, chicken breasts…it just makes me feel more satisfied.
Good for you for getting away from it and having a bath!
Again, not trying to tell you what to do but perhaps some good servings of protein after your workout might help. Or not!
Thanks for all that you do Roni.
Tanya
Susan Powter LOL hadn’t thought of her in a LONG time!
I get that way too…totally munchy. Some days I deal with it better than others. But getting away from the food by taking a bath and relaxing is a great idea.
Good for you!
I totally have those days every once in awhile, just eat eat eat. I try to chew gum when I have those days, I find it helps me a bit anyways, especially if it’s a strong flavored gum
I think I lived this day a few days ago. I’d have to send the fish to live far, far away from me. Once I get started it’s hard to stop – it’s so much easier just to get the stuff out of my house.
The people in my husband’s office have probably gained tons thanks to me.
You are too funny….did you know that Susan Powter is making a comeback? I saw an ad somewhere in cyberspace that she had a new book or something? Anyway, just had to share. As for the hot bath, that is EXACTLY what stops me from munching, too. Everyone talks about relaxing with a glass of wine. I feel bad that they haven’t discovered the bath yet. ;)
If you keep up all this climbing, your hubby’s going to have to buy you some gear!
Roni, Thank you too for being a gracious host, truly.
As far as “The Husband” goes, we all have our better halves and mine is just as much a challenge as well. Treat it as a learning experience and try to not make the same mistakes again. As long as I can figure out where I could have made it a better out come the next time it will make us stronger.
Oh yea… once again I wanted to say this is such a well thought out site and you do a great job.
I hope I can make some small contributions along the way here as well.
the bath idea works for me too!!!! :) sometimes i even light candles and take a book with me!
good job on avoiding the extra temptations!
Roni…All I can say is you ROCK! In just about everyway possible. Like Anonymous said you have become a friend through this website. I check it everyday and depend on you a whole lot ( no pressure) Sometimes husband makes me mad but it’s kind of nice that he adds the temptation because he adds the “real world” to the equation. What I mean is if we could all be in an ideal situation full of healthy food and exercise 24/7 like some popular weight loss programs then life would be great but we’re not. We are going to face temptation and part of learning to eat right is learing to fix our old habits and change our behaiviors…so in one instance I want to smack him for the swedish fish and in another I want to high five…ugh.!
Love Love love what you do and could’t make this WW journey without you…or the likes of the “husband” damn it!
Teresa in KY…40 down 50 to go.
Roni, I totally have the same problem with munching.. and ESPECIALLY with candy and things like those swedish fish. It’s nice to see such a sincere and real person and I definitely don’t feel alone. Everyday is a new day =)
Thank you for making me not the only one who gets caught up in insanity! All it took for you to stop it was a bath? Props to you! For me, I would take a hunk of chocolate in the bath with me and have some of those fish after the bath. Good job!
Hey Roni-
I haven’t commented in awhile but I ALWAYS read… You are just awesome! I have to admit- I look up to you and to know that even the great Roni gained a few Holiday pounds, makes me feel like I’m okay and I CAN keep going (just like you)! Thank you for everything you do to keep our little community going!
Ha! Roni, I am LAUGHING at these people. In my eyes, your site helps hundreds (probably thousands!) of people and that is it’s purpose and of course, for you to vent and journal as well. If these people are OFFENDED by what you have done with your own body, than why visit your site? Why read your posts and most of all…WHY COMMENT??? obviously they have issues with their own bodies and have NOTHING better to do! You GO RONI!!!! Life will be ups and downs…on and off the scale. I think you’re doing a great job and might I mention EVERYONE has trouble this time of year? Keep doing what you’re doing!
Awww guys! The funny thing is I feel as though you are all my friends! Seriously, people email me all the time and say “you probably don’t remember me…” but I DO! LOL
Thanks again you make all the work worthwhile!
and I hear you on the protein! I’m trying!
