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?

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 [...]

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!
