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!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...] -
Yesterday I decided to rediscover simple foods. Part of my cooking slump has to do with over thinking. So I did what I used to do, simply react to what I have on hand. This is what I came up with... Starting from top left around.., [...]
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.

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!
