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!

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 [...]

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.
