So the husband told me I should be writing Thursday Thoughts on Wednesday as no one reads them until Friday cause I post too late.
My response, "But I have the thoughts on Thursday so I write them on Thursday. Who cares when they get read anyway?"
"Then you should just call them Thoughts."
"But I have the Thoughts on Thursday. Plus I like the way it sounds."
"Whatever. It’s your blog."
EXACTLY! So here are this weeks Thursday Thoughts on Friday, again. :)
- I can’t remember if I told you guys how I actually collect the links for my "thoughts" post. I email them to myself all week and then on Thursday (*cough* – as in THURSDAYs thoughts) I look through the email, review the links and pluck the ones that I want to share. It works for me. The problem is I don’t generally take any notes so sometimes I can’t remember how I found the link or if someone sent it to me. That’s the case for this one. I have this great link to an article called How to Stop Making Excuses and Start Making Changes but I have no idea how found it. Regardless it’s a great post. Being somewhat of an excuse maker myself I appreciated the advice.
- As for excuses. I stopped making them with my running training this week and I’m feeling great on the workout front! Speaking of, have you guys seen the Physical Activity Pyramid? I never did but I think it’s pretty cool!
- Ok, no more excuses? check… More Activity? check…. What’s left? Ohhh yea! FOOD! How could I forget? This week I found the 10 Best Foods for your Heart according to Health.com. I love that little pictorial slideshow format, don’t you? Anyway… I was psyched as I don’t only eat all these foods but they are pretty much staples in my diet. Just recently learning to appreciate the avocado. :)
- Have you guys heard of the 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer? Honestly, I didn’t until Elaine brought it to my attention and started the Breast Cancer 3Day Walkers with Robyn. To support my fellow BlogToLose’rs, I designed some shirts for them to wear on the walk. I’m also selling them to help raise money for the cause! Check out my post about them on BlogToLose and please spread the word if you feel so inclined! :)
- This week on RoniNoone.com I reached my 2 post a week goal! Writing 3 Twitter Tips for Twitter #newbies and Getting Readers/Increasing Traffic. I have to admit I’m having fun writing for SMM. It’s fun!
- As for GreenLiteBites I made up Taco-ish Soup with Couscous and Avocado, sweetened some pancakes with Pom Berry Sauce and experimented with Apple Bran Muffins. I also posted this weeks video, Taco Night! :)
Let’s see, other news? Ummmm not much! Do you believe it? I did record an Ask Roni today and should get it posted tomorrow. Other then that I have a product and book review in the works. Oh! and new, fun playlist on the way!
Right now I’m off to relax with the husband. I’m missing CSI!
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!

I Published a Cook Book!

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 [...]

It’s not Friday yet!! You still have 2 hours til midnight! I’m reading them on Thursday. So there, husband!!!
I’m in San Diego, so I always get your Thursday Thoughts on Thursday (usually by 7pm or so)…in fact, it took me a sec to “get it.” You have readers everywhere, baby!
Wow, great job on the running training. And I’m loving your new SMM blog. It’s funny, I’m not a professional blogger or anything, but I still enjoy reading about it. And there’s a lot to learn even for the “amateur.” And I can’t wait to hear your next Ask Roni – I need something to listen to while I’m working out!
P.S. It’s actually only 10pm here, so I’m totally reading them on Thursday. I often read them on Thursday, because my blog reading is the last thing I do before I go to bed. Besides “Thursday Thoughts” does sound a lot better that “Friday Thoughts.”
I know this is piddly, but could you make it to where the clickable links open in a new window rather than redirect? I’m not a techie, so I prolly didn’t even say that right and there’s prolly a good reason you don’t do that already :)
I’m reading them on Thursdays! It’s my last read before bed! I have wanted to do the three day breast cancer walk. I don’t think I am quite ready yet, but have debated the one in Tampa or Detroit (I think that’s where it is in Michigan). There is also a over night walk for Suicide Prevention that I have wanted to do. I think it is in Chicago. However, I am just not financially ready to travel there this year… maybe next year. Anyways.. thanks for all of the links. I am going to look them over now and get to bed!
Well, I read Thursday Thoughts on Thursday when I can – yay West Coast! It’s only 9:51pm now :) Though, right now I’m on my Sidekick phone with superslow internet, so I will actually check out the links tomorrow. I guess I read TTs on Thurs AND Friday :)
Brianne–Right click on the link you want, then on the sub-menu, left click on “Open in New Tab”. That way you get to keep your “Roni” tab, as well as have the new link(s) in other tab(s). I didn’t used to know this either, but Roni told me one time….and it does help that problem. :)
Roni–I LOVE the “10 Best Foods for your Heart” article. I just bought some avacados due to your Taco’ish soup recipe and you talking about them lately. I’ve always loved avacados…it’s just that they’re not something I’m used to eating. So I’m going to start getting used to eating them. I do need to eat more salmon, and the flax seeds…it says to grind them. Does your Magic Bullet grind them OK? The rest of those 10 foods, I already eat regularly. So that makes me feel good. Don’t you just love the feeling of “healthy living”?
Roni…do you have any idea why I can’t get to the recipes on that article in Health.com? I’m looking for the recipe on the flaxseeds page, called Hearty Multigrain Bread. So I began looking for a lot of their other recipes and it takes me to “nowhere”. Do you have to pay to be a member of that page or something?…do you know?
Thanks for the shout out to the Physical Activity Pyramid. Glad you liked it enough to share! Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the inspiration!!

Yee! Haw! I weighed 4 pounds lighter at my Weight Watchers meeting on Thursday! Two pounds a week is my goal and I stuck to it! My philosophy is, “I put it on, I can take it off!” I just have 6 pounds to go to get back to my Lifetime WW goal! THANKS, RONI….I’m using your Microsoft Excel Weight Loss chart for a visual reminder….I love the fact that you put BMI on the chart, too! It’s hard to believe that one pound lost is 3,500 calories! I ate sensibly and still lost 14,000 calories in two weeks! Can you tell that I’m thrilled!
Another great and informative Thursday thoughts post.
Its still just as relevant today (Friday) as it was yesterday. Besides, some of us blog readers get busy too and sometimes catch up on our blog reading on the weekend.
Bonnie–thank you! I am so tech-unsavvy, it’s a wonder I can ever turn my computer on.
As for me, I don’t care what day I read your thoughts, I am just happy that I get to read them. They are always so interesting and I learn something new every week. So there, hubby! lol
I like that physical activity pyramid! I’m going to print it out and post it on my wall.
