..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!

I Published a Cook Book!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...]

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?
