Ok, What a day! First, that Gosh Darn (boy do I want to say something harsher) email problem is ticking (again, think much harsher) me off. I thought it was fixed and then BLAM I check the site only to see about 10 comments that weren’t in my inbox. AAACK! As a developer, the worst kind of problems are inconsistent ones. I am totally out of ideas. However, I did add a subscribe option to comments (please let me know if it’s working) and I’ve been learning a lot of other tricks while debugging. So, it’s not a total loss, I am learning a lot, just NOT GETTING EMAILS. Ok, I’m not stewing on this any longer. I’m going to subscribe to the “everything happens for a reason” mentality and roll with the punches.
If that wasn’t enough I found out some disturbing news at work (my consulting job) and I’m traveling to Toronto next week (that actually wasn’t the most disturbing but I’m not going to go into it) for business. It was a little unexpected as I thought the trip wouldn’t be until the end of the month. So now this means I have my girls trip to the Atlantic City Sun-Tues and then Canada Wed-Fri. What the heck?!?! I’m going to be exhausted and so far behind. Not to mention I won’t see the toddler that whole time and at this age, he seems to grow so fast. I’m going to miss SO much!
So, what else is going on that’s not crazy? Well, if you didn’t notice I went a little post happy today. I finally had a minute to post my conversation with Babs. I really think many young women feel that way, I know I did. I hope to at least bring some attention to that train of thought as I know it really affect my choices for a majority of my and life and sometimes still does.
I also posted my first of three video sessions that I recorded the other day. I’m still working on the iTunes podcast thing, just waiting for them to approve my feed. I have no idea how long that can take.
Oh! and I forgot, I did a guest post over on DietsInReview and answered some Weight Watchers Frequently Asked Questions! I guess, you can say, I just like to answer questions! ;~P
Today, I did have a case of the munchies AND I didn’t make it to the gym like I wanted. I feel like I’m losing a little gym momentum and I need something to kick me in the butt. However, I controlled my munchies with my favorite smoothie and I did walk twice today when I could have driven. So overall I’m making good decisions even when I’m not. Does that make any sense? Ok, it’s late and I’m getting delirious!

I Published a Cook Book!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...]
About Roni
Roni started this blog in '05 to journal her weight loss. 70lbs later, she's committed to living a conscious, healthy life and hopes to inspire others along the way. Read more on the about page.
Sorry about the email, except that after just getting back from vacation and digging out of piles of email, it would almost be a blessing for it to go missing! -Erin
I love those pork chops! They are yummy. So while you are in Canada are you still going to be able to blog? Maybe you could blog about the trip, add some photos…or just talk to us. Oh….if you can take your camera with you, you might be able to photograph all that you eat and make a travel food blog. I did something like this earlier this year when we visited Malta. Anyways I hope you have good trips. You will be missed.
MizKickYouInYerButtReportingForDuty!!!
get to the gym woman.
come to my ‘hood and, when you have a sec, watch yesterdays video.
follow yesterdays video.

Roni,
Me again about the actress you look like – and for the record, I don’t think you have “one of those faces.” I think you are unique and very pretty! No, I seriously think you are a dead ringer for this chick – her name is Jordana Spiro – here’s a link to the My Boys website and they have some scrolling photos on the homepage: http://www.tbs.com/shows/myboys/
Btw, you are such an inspiration! I’ve got the tall girl thing going on also – 5’9″ – I always struggle with the same 10-20 pounds (I’m 26). For the first time, I was getting dangerously close to a size 14! I recently dropped 10 lbs and am hoping to drop another 10 – I think I’d also be comfortable around 140-145. Eating healthy is the way to go! :)
Thanks!
Katie
I saw your tweet about this and sent an @, but thought I’d comment…
There is a big group of WWs and WW bloggers in TO who read your blog. I’m sure we could organize a get-together or help you out with anything if you need it.
Just let us know.
I always hate it when I begin to lose momentum for whatever exercise program I’m currently in the midst of, for me, usually a slight change will help renew my interest in it, maybe that’s what you need? Sometimes I just make myself push through it, and get reengergized within a couple weeks too.
I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who thinks you look like PJ from one of my fav shows ‘My boys!’ Yay! She can only hope that she is as well liked as you! :)
wow……..that’s one busy schedule. It must be hard leaving the little one. Sometimes I would like to get away but I know I’d miss them all so much :) and I don’t know if anyone else could handle my twin tornados! Great posts…all of them :)
Christy – I’ll definitely be blogging! :~)
Katie – I Kinda see it! LOL The husband doesn’t think so. ;~P
That would be cool! I’m kind of excited, I’ve always wanted to travel there! I’m staying downtown!
Enjoy Canada on your trip. I agree with mousaroo – you have a lot of Candian “followers” (me being one of them) and I am certain the TO group will welcome you with open arms!
Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!
