Here’s the first session of the videos I recorded yesterday. I’m still working on the iTunes Podcast issue. I needed to set up a whole other feed for them which means my old iTunes page will not longer be relevant and I lose all my reviews. :~( It’s a long strange, frustrating story that I don’t want to bore you with. I hope to have it all straightened out by the end of the day. I’ll post about it when I do!
Topics in this video include…
- On and off again dieting
- Craving Fat
- Where do I shop?
- How did I begin? Flex or Core

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
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 [...]

You look fabulous in the video Roni!!! New poster behind you?? You are truly an inspiration!!!
Just like you said “every choice is a new choice” and because of that I stay motivated…because I have realized from reading your blog..that no matter what…life goes on..and I still need to enjoy living my life..but that I can still make healthy decisions…and if I make a “bad choice” that I can move on and make a new choice later that day…to stay motivated…
Have a great day and thanks again for these videos..i love them..every one of them..even when the questions don’t apply to me.
I had to pause the video and comment on your answer to question #1!!! OMGoooodness!! I just had a major epiphany. Your answer to the question is right on! I was so impressed by the way you articulated that vicious cycle. You’ve heard it explained in terms of a lifestyle..blah, blah, blah, but I just love the way you explained it and never used the term “lifestyle” that has become a meaningless cliche! This was so awesome and so motivating and so logical. You’ve helped me understand it on a new level! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t use enough exclamation points to communicate my excitement over my epiphany. AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New poster on the wall?
Yup. It was a gag gift for my birthday and I thought it would be fun to change it up a bit. :~) Some readers/watchers were waiting for it, I hinted in the comments on the last video.
It’s…

That’s the first thing I noticed…new poster….after noticing how absolutely terrific you look! You always look great though!
Those were some great questions and number one really put it into perspective on how this healthy journey has to be forever….not just on and off! Gosh, why did it take me 38 yrs to figure that out?!
For the poster who has lost weight and is looking for new stuff, I highly recommend hitting outlets like Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Gap, JCrew, etc. they tend to have trendy stuff, but not young trendy and also are reasonably priced. I also would suggest you hit the regular stores and shop their sales.
Roni,,One other thng,,please don’t cut your hair off like you had it 10 years ago,, :))
Another good video with good information. Don’t forget about the Aldi’s food list. I want to prove to my mom that she can be on WW’s and shop at Aldi’s. She claims she will spend too much if she is on a diet…haha.
Roni, I have been a long time reader/fan of you and your blog but I have never commented before. I am new to Blog To Lose as well and I finally am commenting because you really hit the nail on the head for me when you talked about the fact that there is no on plan or off plan. We are always on plan. Thank you! The lightbulb has finally gone on and I am making this a lifestyle not a diet! As always, you are an inspiration.
I think target and kohls are great places to shop because they have designers who work with them so its a bit fashion forward but also not too expensive. A lot of the clothes in their women departments are cute and not too expensive.
It was a great video Roni! Do you use a certain type of makeup? Your skin looks amazing.
Christy – Working on it today! I was holding off for a video but it’s not going to work so I’m writing it up.
Liz – thanks! I’m a mineral makeup girl. I LOVE it.
