A Sweet Stuffed Sunday
*bleh* *bleh* and *bleh*
I came, I saw, I ate and now, at 10:30 PM I’m SO happy to be home. The candy was abundant and, I’m not going to lie, MOST of it is in my overstuffed, nauseous belly as I type. I swear I ate more chocolate then humanly possible. Then again I’m human and I’m still here so I guess it really WAS possible. I feel like a beached whale, an over stuffed pig, oh wait… I forgot about this. I TOTALLY feel EXACTLY like this right now.
My weekend off was exactly that.. a weekend off. This is the first time I’ve been on the computer since Friday night. I didn’t count a point, I didn’t worry about calories, fat, carbs or sugar. I just hung out with the family and ate and ate and ate. I’m not sorry and I have no regrets. Well… that’s not totally true, I do feel pretty yucky right now so I know I went overboard but sometimes I think I need to feel this way to remember that I’m SO over this. How did I go so many years feeling this way all the time. No, no, no this is SO not fun. I look forward to my clean, chocolate free food choices tomorrow. I swear, I don’t think I’ll ever eat another chocolate covered peanut butter egg again. At least not until next Easter!!
I’m off to bed now. Attempting to start a new schedule tomorrow. I’ll fill you in later. I haven’t had time to update my training schedule yet. Just wanted to pop in, give an update and a wish you a Happy Sensational Sunday. My Sunday was Sensational for different reasons this weekend and even though I feel gross and overstuffed I’m STILL ready to the start the week on plan. You?

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 [...]

Blech, I am totally overstuffed too! We started eating at 4:00 today and I didn’t stop until just a little while ago. I ate so much, I feel so sick right now. I mean seriously, did I have to just eat another homemade chocolate covered marshmallow right before bed?! Just like you said, I don’t know how I used to eat like this and feel this way all the time. (I’ve lost 65 pounds too). Tomorrow is a new day!
That picture is hysterical, lol!
I feel EXACTLY the way you do. Overstuffed, like I’m going to explode any moment. To make matters worse, I haven’t worked out for a week because I have been getting overtime at work, and the last 3 days I’ve pretty much stuffed my face. So I feel extra gross right now. lol I am going to have to try to FORCE myself to get back on track with both diet and exercise. I know I’ll feel better mentally the instant I do, and eventually the physical part will catch up.
i too went a little overboard with the Easter foodfest, BUT i started the day with a weight watchers meeting and ended the day with the 30Day Shred workout…too bad everything in between those great choices doesn’t count. LOL
I am TOTALLY ready to start the week. On plan.
I had one cadbury egg and thought about another one, before the baby(18months) decided to grace my hand, arm, leg and carpet with some hot chocolate of his own. And no, it wasn’t out the bottom.
Its so awesome to have a relaxing weekend! Glad you enjoyed yours!
I guess since we don’t have any local family Easter was very low-key for us. Did super simple baskets for the kids, hung out and then ran 11+ miles as part of my Half training. I will be so happy when my race is over. My knees are *not* liking these long runs at all. When the big one is over, I am back to the fun 5 or 10K and that’s it!!!! :-)
I got to feeling like this after our late lunch. I had a few too many candied sweet potatoes and a few too many jelly beans!!! So I took a 4 mile brisk walk. It was a bit chilly and VERY windy but it was good to be out in the sun, good for my body and soul! We skipped our late meal (dinner, some call it supper) and instead opted for air popped popcorn and an apple.
Great to be around family…very nice weekend and glad to hear yours was nice as well!!!
I hear you, Ronnie! I ate and ate and ate this weekend until the point where I felt like I would throw up. It’s hard to imagine that that feeling used to be normal for me. Eating crap all weekend made me feel sick, tired, and run down… and the 5 lb gain on the scale this morning sure didn’t help.
Can’t wait til you post your new training schedule. My half is in less than 3 weeks and I have to say, I’ve been slacking.
I hear you on the Blech feeling…I too way over-indulged yesterday and woke up at 2am with a very upset stomach! Took a few Titralac (my magic tummy pills ha ha) and thankfully they work fast!
A little *mad* at myself for over-indulging but have put it behind me and back on track today! I too am training for a 1/2 marathon in May, and now is NOT the time for stupid food choices…I’ve already gained about 3-4 pounds from training as it is!
As good as my home made mashed pototoes are, the only thing I over did it on were the dinner rolls. I had THREE!….only a little bit of chocolate, but they last evening we watched the third movie in the Bourne series and I nibbled and nibbled on peanuts!
I am back on track today tho, and have put the leftovers in the freezer for another day. Having such a tough time lately with snacking at night, so maybe I just need to find something to do in the evenings!
Thats why I love you Roni..you can go crazy and get back on track and its no big deal. I’m on track today eating low points to get back to where I want to be. I’m alot happier in my personal life and been indulging more than I should. Today I’m in losing mode..my pants are getting tight. Like you I’m at goal nealy 2 years and I go off the rails but get back on quick.
Hi Roni,
I’ve felt like this for two weekends in a row! The weekend before Easter was my dad’s birthday…turkey dinner, cake, candy, banana pudding, blah, blah, blah, blah. You name it, I ate it. Then Easter comes along and much of the same…not really the sweets…more like heavy barbque all weekend long.
I wish I could say I had no regrets. I, too, feel like an overstuffed whale. I just know that I totally bombed this week’s weigh-in. Even though I hate to see what the numbers will be, I NEED to see so that it snaps me out of this horrible FUNK I’ve found myself in.
I agree 100% couldn’t of said it better myself!
