..my appetite is insatiable! I’m not hungry but boy I want to EAT! That’s the worst . It’s a classic case of "the munchies." I’m hoping by writing I can help curve it a bit. Tomorrow is the weigh in where I’ll finally peak at last weeks scale number. Honestly, I can’t believe I haven’t peaked. It’s not like me, Normally I can’t handle surprises. I can hardly contain myself when I buy presents for people. I almost died while planning the husbands surprise 30th. Yet, I have NOT looked at last weeks weigh-in number in fear it would affect my mood too much.
I’m glad I haven’t. I’ve felt great all week and the stupid scale didn’t "ruin" it for me. I’m getting back into my workout groove completing the first of MANY runs for my marathon training.
Speaking of, if you missed it, I published my training schedule up to the half marathon in May on this page. As I complete each day I’ll add a little note. I needed to see it from a calendar view. I’m not going to lie. It’s SCARY! My approach is to take it day by day, like everything. :) I also updated my Yearly Goals page, adding the races for this year.
So here’s the food journal for today. It’s not bad but I just want MORE! But I’m good. Not hungry, it’s just the munchies. It’s JUST the munchies. :)
PS Just a reminder… tomorrow the first scheduled chat of the year on BlogToLose! Hope to catch up with ya there!

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 know the feeling…some of my daughters Whoppers in the fridge kept calling me as did some ice cream. I was proud of myself though…instead of getting mad at myself and eating more, I got back on the treadmill for some extra workout time to try to compensate for the unnecessary calories. Truly a non scale victory!!
Hey Roni!
I think it’s great that you’re training for a Half as well as a Full Marathon this year. I’m a fellow loser/maintainer (Went from a size 10 to a size 2, 40lbs gone for just about 3 years now) and have also become a runner after losing the weight– I’ve done 3 full marathons now plus a slew of other races here in NYC. I just wanted to offer my support – please feel free to email me with ANY questions about running and eating while running, and balancing a healthy “weight watchers” lifestyle while training, etc! Get ready to see some serious changes – not just in your body, but in your mind and spirit as well. The distance running will become time consuming, but well worth it. I know you’ll love it and I’m sure you’ll knock all your goals out of the park!!!
Anyway, I think you are such an inspiration and I check your blogs for updates daily. You’re a rock star, mamma!!! Oh, and I’m glad we’re facebook friends too :-P
Good luck tomorrow! I checked out that red rice recipe and mmmm, I’ve gotta try it sometime. Thanks for the inspiration!
It’s not just you, trust me. This week has been inexplicably awful.
Oh well, at least it will give me something to write about next Monday.
I feel like I am going through withdrawl from sugar and fat. Today has started out the best of any since the holidays. Maybe I’ve gotten over the hump?!
What was is about yesterday? I was attacked by OREOS last night and went to bed feeling so bummed that I gave in! :( (I’m sure I polished off a whole entire row of them and washed them down with diet coke at 10pm, OMG) Even after brushing my teeth and using mouth wash, I still woke up with the after taste of OREOS in my mouth….YUK! May I never let that happen again. Todays a new day! :) Have a great one!
Directed at reader Laurie. reading your post was awesome. you are awesome. you gave into the craving but then turned around and worked the extra calories off. that is beyond awesome. I always think about going jogging after a few beers to work of the calories, but somehow I just dont find it safe! ha ha. Really, I should jog first then drink :)
Good luck with the weigh in tomorrow and looking at your number! For me, weighing myself last week and not liking the number was exactly what I needed to get my butt in gear. I officially weighed in at a meeting yesterday and low and behold, I am back to my pre-holiday weight!
I seriously must have been retaining water last week ha ha!
AND my munchies this week have been pretty rough. I have picked up crocheting again which has definitely helped. AND may I say that cherry tomatoes are an awesome snack when you just need to eat SOMETHING. I have a little baggie here at my desk at work.
Same reason why I am not hoping on the scale before Saturday! I hope one day that freaking hunk of metal doesn’t penetrate my mood that propels me to binge eat… the way it does now… one day, one day it will happen, a girl can dream can’t she?
