Ok, this is a TOTAL brag post. Even though I’m running out of time to pack for Chicago I HAD to take 10 minute to tell you all that I DID IT! I reached a goal! I DID A PULL UP!! I can NOT believe it! What you say? You cant either? Well… I have proof! (thank God for trainers with tricked out phones!) …
Here I am doing not my first, but SECOND pull up just for the video. My first one even looked better, I didn’t have to use my legs as much.
How cool is THAT! LOL
ok, Now I want to do a "regular" pull up, You know with your arms out wide, those are SUPER hard. I can only go up about an inch. This whole goal achieving thing is quit addictive! ;~P
Ok, enough bragging I have to pack! My plane leaves in 3 hours!!! LOL

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 [...] -
Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...] -
I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

Great job Roni!
am working on my first “real” push up. I have been doing the 100 push ups programs (w/knee push ups) for several weeks and I am getting closer to a “real” pushup. My 2008 New Year’s resolution was to be able to do one “real” push up before the end of the year (of course I waited until the last quarter to get on the ball!) and I am hoping that I can meet it!
Good for you on setting and meeting your goal!
Fantastic!!!!!!
What would your old self say to that?
Thanks Guys!
Melissa… She’d say…. No FREAKIN WAY!, try… and then give up.
I’ll give myself that, I always tried. I just never continued to try until I actually did it. Now I do. :~)
CONGRATULATIONS!! That’s so amazing!
That is SO awesome! Congratulations! Makes all the hard work worth it, huh?

Way to go, Roni! That is so awesome.

You go girl!
i am SOOOOOOOOOOOO impressed. i am not anywhere near being able to do a pull up!
wow Roni………..now THAT is something to be PROUD of!!!!
Whoo-HOooo!!! Congrats Roni!!
Roni I am SO GLAD I just checked your site… feeling a little unmotivated… but this was all I needed, I’m going to the gym right after work. CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is a goal of mine as well (along w/ standing on my head) :-)
Yay! You did so good and we are all so proud of you. The video is great. Pull ups are not easy and you have made them look so simple!!
Oh my gosh Roni I am so proud of you and so excited for you! Such a reminder that it doesn’t matter how long it takes to meet our goals…..as long as we don’t give up….we’ll meet them!! Oh and fyi…I got kicked out of gym class in high school for refusing to try and do a pullup (you know when they’d have the physical fitness assesments) in front of the entire class. Yep I flat out said no to spare myself the embarrassment, and promptly got kicked out. LOL. Witch Phys Ed Teacher!! Maybe I’ll add that to my list of things I want to be able to do. lol. Thanks for sharing….I was so excited watching that – you would have thought I did the darn pull up. lol.
Wow! I’m impressed! Good for you! And that pull up bar looked REALLY high off the ground(however I am short,everyhting looks high off the ground for me)
Congrats! I suck at those. Does anyone remember in gym class long ago where you had to do all these standard tests, how many sit-ups, push-ups, etc.? Well, there was the hanging bar where they timed you to see how long you could hold on. I think my record was 3 seconds, the girl next to me (who was tiny!) lasted 2 minutes!
Check out Bizs last blog post..Whap!
awesome!!!
How long have you been trying to do one? How did you get to this point of being able to do it?
I can’t do one either, and I think it is a great goal.

Way to go Roni!! I’ll have to get on the goal achieving band wagon! Oh, wait. I guess I have to actually make goals in order to achieve them, right?! OK, on my next blog post, I will set out some goals. . . feel free to support me people. I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER SUMMER BEING FAT!!! I need help finding some achievable, confidence building, baby step type goals to get me going. I am open to suggestions.
Thank you, Roni! You are truly an inspiration. How’s about a visit to Denver to meet some bloggers?! :-)
Check out Siobhans last blog post..Gotta take the highs with the lows
SOOOO GREAT! And great bragging!
This post was so inspiring to me as I am in a kind low inspiration low at the moment.
You really show that if you do your right training you will also achieve the results. It is just the believing part that does or doesn’t do it.
Lots of Love,
Nina
YAAAAAAAAAAA!! I could never do one of those either. I’m 5 months pregnant now and that’s one of my goals after the baby comes, is to do a chin up. Good for you!
holy MOLY! that is so cool :) kick arse :)

you
so
very
awesome.
and yes, People, I got to see Roni and workout with her in person today.
I
lucky.
Awww!! I got a little teary eyed watching that. I’ve been following you close enough that I’ve heard you say over and over that that is your goal and you DID IT!!! YOU REALLY DID IT!!! I’m so proud!! *hugs*
Congratulations! That’s amazing – you accomplished that goal that you’ve been working on!!! Thanks for sharing – it definitely inspires me!
Being able to do a pull-up is on my list of 101 Things (with an end date of next October). I hope I can make it. Go, you!
Congrats! Wow. I remember when I was 12 and I could do 10. I think that had more to do with my weight than my strength.
Congrats, pull ups were never my strong suit. I can do 10-12 now after months and months of training.
I love how excited you are about it. Now aim for 3 :)
Those are without a doubt really difficult. I can’t even do one! Good job, congrats :)
This is awesome! Every couple of months, I have dreams about doing pull ups (weird, I know). I love those dreams because I wake up feeling powerful. IRL, I can’t do a single one. You rock, Roni!!!
wow, you must be very proud of yourself.
congrats! i really envy you as i hate doing exercises
