I almost didn’t post this one. I feel like I put my foot in my mouth more then a few times. The first two questions were more intense then I realized and I think I just needed more time to collect my thoughts on those subjects. You’ll see.
Topics in this video include…
- Getting back on track
- If it worth is if you don’t like your body
- How did I start blogging
- A plan after a Crash Diet
- Strickly following the healthy guidelines

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 [...]

I think that you need to take baby steps to get back on track. Whether it be you eat healthy more and more each day…or maybe work on walking a couple times a week until you can actually work out on a schedule…Eventually all the pieces will come together and will just be a habit and be part of your daily life.
Roni-
I think your next project should be an exercise blog! :~)
Thanks for all that you do–it has helped me immensely!
yes ww message board is full of attacks. i asked about the cake with soda recipe and got “that is soo old.. what are you new”. i dont go there very often anymore..
yes Roni .. i hear your doorbell/ message alerts.. i was wondering what that was ;)
I think you should have theme music. My old spanish teacher (in college) had an entering and exit song. He carried around a little boombox (we did a lot of translating music) and he would enter and exit a room to this spanish gameshow host music. It was awesome.
I always thought my theme song should be along the lines of “Fat Bottom Girl” by Queen or “I like big butts” but after 20 lbs lost…that applies less. My but is still there but it seems a little counter intuitive.
I also like Eve’s “Whose that Girl”

Roni, Please tell Miranda (the lady who doesn’t like her body) that it is SO worth it. I always hated my body, I was short, I was bigger than other girls, I gained over 100 lbs with my first baby and never looked back. I was 291 lbs when I joined weight watchers and walked with a cane (and had for 10 years, since early 30′s), I got out of breath vacuuming, needed a break to finish mopping my kitchen, etc. I have lost 145 lbs. I feel like a different person and my body IS a different body. It’s not perfect to look at, but it is strong and I can walk w/o the cane. I can run, I can climb stairs. I love living in this body that can DO so many things. It’s hard to like a body that is in such sad shape that everything is so HARD. I have loose skin, boy do I ever, and probably always will since I am in my late 40′s, but life is so much better. I had to work SO hard to be a good wife and mother because of my weak body; but, now my granddaughter calls me Super-Grammy on the playground. SO WORTH IT!
Regi – I think you just did! :~) FABULOUS story and insight!
thanks for responding to my questions about getting off track and getting back on. Ever since I posted that I am back on full steam a head! I now exactly what you mean about the mind set and I know I have it or eles I wouldnt feel bad about eating bad. I know the stress thing was a total excuse and lots of people can stay healthy and be stressed :) You make great points and you are such a motivator – not a bragger- please dont ever think that!!!
thanks!
Katie
Thank you Roni!
I also have started back at WW (for the umpteenth time). I love reading your blog and have thought about starting one of my own when my husband and I retire (hopefully in a couple of years).
