You still need some level of accountability on the weekends. They just can’t be a stream of mindless nibbles.
Yes, you are maintaining nicely but if you want to loose those 5 pesky pounds you gained this winter you are going to have to get a bite more serious.
That being said, good job on the step class yesterday and the weight training session today. And yes, you did actually bench more then that young man in the weight room!
Feeling strong feels great!
Oh! And I made this awesome guilt free Mexican dinner idea too!

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 [...]

Good job on the weights!
Doing well and maintaining is tough. It can mess with your mind! I’m working on 10 pounds.. but when I do well with exercise, eat well (and nibble) and still maintain, I find it difficult to punch it up a notch.
So, a deal: we both up the accountability on weekends? :)
Congratulations on the weights! That’s one area I still need to work on. It’s so much harder (for me) to be accountable on the weekends just because I don’t have a regular routine like I do M-F. I still do good, but really have to focus on my water intake during those days.
Ahhhh those darn weekends…they are the hardest for me too!
Way to go on the step class and weights!! I definately need to be working out more.
And the mexican dish…can’t wait to make it. It looks delicious and I love mexican food. :)
mmmmm, that mexican pie looks yummy!
I am the same way on the weekends…as you read on my blog. You are doing great tho! Those 5 lbs should be gone before you know it!
You know what is great about this post? You’re talking to yourself and saying just as many positive things as criticisms. And even the criticisms are said in a nice tone.
We should all learn to be so kind to ourselves – much better than beating ourselves up. Thanks for being a positive role model.
Roni: Way to stay focused with the weights. You are doing great. As far as the little indiscretions on the weekends. I would like to say it doesn’t happen to me but sadly I would be lying. Weekends are tough all the way around. I have to really talk to myself sometimes about where I want to be going with my weight and is it worth it to blow it each weekend so I can work harder during the week. That little talk actually worked this weekend. Amazing, huh?
Roni, I love the “Freudian slip” at the end of the second paragraph, and I’m making it my motto this week… I’m going to have to get “a bite more serious.” Every bite counts! Way to go with the positive self-talk… thanks for your blog.
I kind of posted my inner thoughts while working out too today…too funny! Weekends are always hard too. I have to choose between getting to sleep in a little more on Saturday, my only day off, or getting up to run. That’s never an easy choice!
Wow! you are doing just fine. I do envy that you actually enjoy cooking. I’m stuck,in a rut, hoping to get myself out soon. You are truly an insperation to me.
Keep up the good work.
Roni,
I think weekends are hard for anybody..but remember you are making smart choices overall the rest of the week..you only live once…
Keep on going with those weights..thats something I still need to work on..
Also I peeked at the latest video post..your toddler is so precious..you really should have a cooking show with him…I’d totally watch it!! :)
Happy Monday!!
I love that you said “Get a bite more serious”. Freudian slip? Or was that intentional?
I love you mindset though. It’s true on Saturdays and Sundays, I always want to eat more than usual!
Awesome. What is it about the weekend! Way to take control and bench that weight!
