That’s what I keep telling myself about this weekend. I had a lot of fun but I also ate quite a bit and right now I feel like CRAP!
I’m SO looking forward to getting back into a routine this week, hitting the gym hard, training for my 5k and wrapping up the semester.
Hope you all had a Happy Mother’s Day! I’m signing off early so I can start the week with a good night sleep (although it’s already after midnight!)

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 MORNING, FRIEND!
(I laugh that you were posting about 4.5 hours before I get up :))
I know you know this but a few thoughts:
it was MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND :)
I am a firm believer that our bodies thrive and grow (in a good way. in a muscle building/metabolism sparking way) when we throw them curve balls and shake up the routine—-EVEN WHEN THIS SHAKING IS IN THE FORM OF FOODS WE RARELY CONSUME (aka Poptarts & cake for the MizFit).
I command thee to harness all the “crap” you ate over the weekend as ENERGY you can use to hoist even heavier weights this week and run a smidge FASTER than you usually do—not in the name of burning it off but in the name of HUH, THE JUNK WOKE MY BODY UP AND IM SHOCKINGLY FILLED WITH VIM & VIGOR :)
lastly, and I KNOW you live this, there is something nice/fun/alluring about routine when youve been out of it for a few days.
climbing back on the horse seems almost EXCITING and energizing.
fearing she’s rambled too long (& off to start the day)
M.
At this point I’m trying to find ANYONE that stayed on plan this weekend!!!
ahh, I think there are quite a few of us that had bad days or weekends eating wise. it’s amazing to me how crappy I can feel after eating all the stuff I used to eat on a regular basis now. I still feel like I have a food hangover today. Ugh!
Hey…
happy belated mother’s day…
also the cooking light video..isn’t that the one that I emailed you about? and suggested your son submit it. Well anyways..that is so awesome the featured your video.
have a great week
just checking…I thought it was that video..but wasn’t sure then I went through my emails and i was like yes that is the one suggested…yay!!! I am so happy he did listen..what a great guy already!!!
well hope you had a wonderful mother’s day..and I’m glad i was able to pass that info along :) to make ryan’s mom a star!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha
I’m so with you! For the last three weeks I’ve been traveling or having guests and therefore eating out, eating too big of portions and slacking on the workouts. Time to get back in the game!
I went to Dodger’s Stadium for Mother’s day. i hd my daughter on one side of me eating cotton candy (and she’s skiiny a a rail) and my son on the other side eating pizza. How did I handle it? i ate my nutrifit lunch before we went so we wouldn;t be too hungry and then a bought myself a popcorn which I shared with the kids so I would have something to munch on. It got me through the day a winner, more than i can say for the dodgers who went down 8 to 5. Speaking of numbers, my goal is to lose 95 pounds by the time the Broadway musical of my show 9 to 5, opens in L.A. in September. I’m at over sixty five pounds already and if you’d like to keep track of how I’m doing, along with news about the show (Dolly Parton wrote the songs) check out my blog 95 by 9 to 5 on Myspace!
