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

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 [...]

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
