Woke up today still a under the weather but I could tell the bug was on it’s way out. It must have been some 24 hour stomach thing and unfortunately I passed it on to my poor niece. :( I hope she feels better soon.
By the afternoon I was feeling about 90% and decided I needed to get my butt moving. I had a 4 mile run scheduled but only did 2. I just wasn’t feeling it and my knee started bothering me again (getting nervous about that now.) At first I was disappointed with myself. Then I thought…
Hey, wait a minute here. You just ran 2 freakin’ miles. A year a go you thought you "couldn’t" run. Yesterday you spent more time in a bathroom then you thought humanly possible and you are beating yourself up because you ONLY ran 2 miles? Come on now. It’s better then not going at all! Plus you hit the weights afterwards with your trainer "for fun." Pat yourself on the back girl, come ON!
I didn’t really say that but typing it out helped me see my accomplishment instead of my "failure." See… the power of blogs (aka the journal.) So here’s my "successful" run from today! :)
As for the "stuffed," as I type this I feel totally over-full. I went a little nuts on the pizza. BUT, at least it was homemade pizza. I picked up one of those Whole Wheat Boboli Crusts for the Super Bowl, sliced up some fresh veggies and enjoyed my 4 slices. Three probably would have been enough but hey… It’s the super bowl, right? :)
So right now I’m enjoying the commercials and tweeting with my tweeps. ;~) Yes I’m one of those people that actually looks forward to the commercials during the game. What can I say? I’m a commercial girl. I enjoy the creativity it takes to get your point across or make someone laugh in 30 seconds. Speaking of, I’ll leave you my favorite commercial of all time. This one just cracks me up!

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 [...]

2 miles is a lot better than most people. good job! hope u feel better.
First – about the commercial – LMAO!! Freakin’ hilarious!!
Second – I can’t believe you even attempted to run right after being so sick! Way to go for making it 2 miles!
After being sick, 2 miles is great!
As far as your knee…How old are your shoes? When I need new running shoes, the first thing I notice is that my knees hurt. Hope it gets better soon.
Haha, I totally know that “only two miles” thing. I did four last weekend instead of six and it was like “Grrr, you suck, Jill!” but really, we got out there, thus we ROCK.
Thanks Amanda for the hint, my knee has been angry at me and I didn’t think of old shoes, but it could the it.
WTG on getting out there and doing 2 miles! I was supposed to do a 5k this morning, but decided it would be best to skip it since I’ve been sick all week. I didn’t want to risk relapsing and then lose even more training time than I already have.
ROFL on the commercial! I remember when it first came out several years ago. I thought it was freakin’ hilarious, and it still is. :)
Oh, forgot to add that I hope you have a BLAST at Blissdom! I lived in Nashville for many years and just love that city. I’m really bummed I’m not going to be there, but I already had a 3-day weekender cruise to Ensenada, Mexico with about 20 girlfriends booked for next weekend. I know you guys will have an amazing time. :)
Amanda – I just got new shoes. :( Hopefully it will help!
Thanks!
-Roni
Mel – Thanks! I’m looking forward to it, ever been!

It must be something going around on the East Coast. (ha ha) I am in Va Beach and it hit me last Sat. nite. I was so bummed, we were out to dinner with our good friends and I literally took 2 bites and could feel the stomach churning, like some hot, bubbling cauldron……gross! I too was in the bathroom all of Sat. nite and then by Sunday I was sort of back to normal. But how good of you to run Sunday? I agree with the positive self-talk when you blog, it totaly reinforces it in your head, it sort of “bumps” the bad talk out. Glad to hear your week is starting out virus-free. Have a good one!
Nice job on the run!! 9:30 pace is great!
That commercial was hillarious. I must have missed that one last night. My favorite by far was the Doritos one. That was a great job on the run. I can’t run 5 minutes before getting winded. I’m hoping to start working on that when the weather gets a little warmer.
I managed to miss pretty much all of the commercials so thank you for that one, I had a good laugh!
Great game :)………way too many salty cheesy snacks here!
I think we women tend to beat ourselves up way more necessary – not sure how to stop that though. Maybe you have found the answer with blogging! Great job on the run!
I can hardly type cuz I’m laughing so hard. Awesome commercial. My boys and I are cracking up!
I’m glad you’re feeling better!
I didn’t read back to see how long your knee has been bothering you. If it’s more than 2 weeks and the buy new shoes thing didn’t work, try the cut your running in half thing for 2 weeks (and fill in with biking or swimming or something that doesn’t bug your knee). Then jump to 3/4th on the next week and back to where you are now on the week after. If that doesn’t work, probably see a sports med orthopedist. As someone who ignored an overuse injury for a REALLY long time (and had some guy from the Mayo Clinic poking my leg saying, “That’s so cool!”), I can recommend not repeating my mistake.
This is a really nice site. Just found it through at link at the Token Fat Girl blog.
My favorite commercial of all time was a Superbowl commercial from 96 or 97, Pepsi commercial with cows and a convenience store… I wish I could find it online because even explaining it to people, it still makes me giggle!
Sup Everyone I am New, I have been browsing around this board for a few weeks as a guest. I found it useful and it has helped me allot. I hope to stay around for some time and contribute.
Thanks Allot.
