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.

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 [...]

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
