Let’s just say…
Stress + Pizza + PMS + 12 Hours at Work = DISASTER
Ummmm let’s see….
I lost my cell phone today. I don’t really care about the phone itself but all those numbers. AAACK! I don’t even want to think about it.
It’s the last week of classes. Which should make me happy but it’s a super busy time.
I have an inbox full of messages I just can’t get ahead on.
3 client projects that are starting to fall behind.
A house that is in constant state of messiness.
Oh and I’m a mom to a very active 3 year old (well, almost 3) who is showing all signs of potty train readiness and I have NO idea what I’m doing.
Now, if all that wasn’t enough I launched my new weight loss community this weekend! I am SUPER excited about it but it has been a wee bit stressful as well.
It’s been going well so far and I’ve been having a lot of fun welcoming and orientating everyone to the new system. If you are interested there are new forums, a blog feature for users and even a chat! I plan on doing some scheduled meet ups there when everything calms down a bit.
So, on top of all that I haven’t worked out since Saturday (I’m missing it) and I ate (OMG I can’t believe I’m going to confess this) 6 slices of pizza over the course of 4 hours.
** Sigh ** No I don’t turn to food for emotional support at all, nope not me, not at all.
Right now it’s yet again after midnight, because I can’t sleep after a long day at work without unwinding first. At least I’m not snacking. Oh yea, that’s right, it’s because I feel like a bloated overstuffed pig.
YUCK!
Tomorrow will be better.

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 [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

you do have so much on your plate, woman.
and as Ive said to you before IVE NO CLUE HOW YOU DO IT and all so well.
be kind to yourself.
today is a new day.
new points.
a new chance to set yourself up for success.
you’re an amazing role model—yes, because of all youve done and achieved but also because you are REAL.
just like us :)
and you struggle and sometimes your days dont unfold as planned—just like us.
and you pick yourself up and carry on the next day—just like we’re try to do.
(as always, if I can ever lend a hand SHOUT my way!)

My oldest – a boy also – was at that same stage just before third birthday. I actually waited until his 3rd birthday and then it was 3 days total – no more diapers and totally done. It helps if they drink WATER and not juice for a while – it is easier to know when you have to go and there seems to be less urgency with water. I picked 3 days when we were going to be home. the other thing – is don’t ask IF they “HAVE to go?” just tell him to “go try”. I used to say do you want to try in the little bathroom or the big bathroom? And I always send kids to go (mine are now 18, 14, 10 – but I still say this) before we walk out the door to go anywhere at all.
Sounds like you’re having one of those weeks when everything in your world seems to have gotten together and planned one massive attack!
You have a lot on your plate (no pun intended) and it’s understandable that things feel overwhelming.
and pizza is mighty delicious. You’re strong and fiesty and you’ll get through this. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
My oldest turns 3 in a week and we’ve been in undies for about 3-4 months now – although he REFUSES to tell me he needs to go at home, only out in public. So I just take him and tell him he HAS to try to go, and it has worked out so far! I promise he will do much better than you think he will – I was so surprised by my little guy. I just wish someone had told me how much work it is – constantly dragging him to the potty, especially with a 1 year old in tow! :)
I also lost my phone and when I got a new one, the phone company asked me if I wanted them to transfer all my old numbers over. I was ELATED! I thought I lost them forever – maybe your company does that too!
Good luck with everything!
….at least it was over the course of four hours! :)
I’m so excited to have found your blog! I love your banner. I love that you are struggling even after being at it so long. I love that you’re so honest about it all. I’ll have to go check out your new community. Tomorrow will be better!
When I get tired I reach out for the easy stuff too. Sometimes it not just the easy stuff that satisfies, its the pizza, or something someone else made :)
One meal at a time, one day at a time.
Roni, as for the potty training thing. My son is now four. Although he showed signs at just before 3 we were a success story until 3.5. My suggestion wait wait wait. If you can get him to sit on potty and try at a set time each day that starts the process but dont push it. it will only drive each of you nuts. None of us know what we are doing when it comes to this and I so felt that way. Try not to give your yourself a goal cause he will do it when he is ready. Start with sitting on potty at set times and trying (say 10 minutes after a lunch/drink) When it was all said and done for us. I was totally a believer of waiting.
they say… if you start and 3 you will finish at three– if you start at 2 you will finish at 3. When potty training students at school, we go at a set time everyday– that helps train your more than them. But with my daughter, she showed lost of interest and would do it at daycare, but not at home. Then one day, I let her pick out her own panties– and she was done. I had tried everything… timer every thirty minutes, undies to le them feel it…she didn’t care. When she was ready… it happened. Good Luck. ~~Amy
