I Weighed In and Oprah Called!
Did I get ya? LMAO Don’t get your hopes up they didn’t call about me. They wanted to know about Weight View and since I didn’t actually use one of their weight reduction pictures during my weight loss they weren’t very interested or impressed. :( *sigh* oh well. A girl can dream. :)
Anyway, my other news… I FINALLY made it to Weight Watchers for an official Weigh in. After 3 months of not weighing in I am… *dun* *dun* *dun* pretty much the same. Up 1.6. Whopty freakin’ do. After my Easter blow out I’m surprised it wasn’t more.
Anyway… just wanted to let you know those two things. I’m off to bed. This whole getting up at 5 AM is really helping me head to bed early and skip the night time snacks.
Here’s my menu today… Oh! and I updated my weight progress and workout calender..
| Food | Units |
|---|---|
| banana mango protein shake – recipe coming soon… i’m behind!! estimate on points for now | 5 |
| leftover peppered pork with peppers over a tiny bit of rice (i didn’t make enough) | 4 |
| handful of pumpkin seed kernels | 2 |
| baby spinach, tomatoes and 3oz leftover easter ham with wasabi dressing + corn on the cob leftover | 5 |
| whole wheat pretzels – a lot of them lol | 5 |
| 1/2 cup grape nuts, 4oz light chocolate soy milk, small banana | 6 |
| cereal didn’t cut it… sandwich on whole wheat bun, leftover easter ham and a thin slice of cheese | 5 |
| Total: | 32 |

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...]

Okay, you definitely got me :) I saw Oprah and clicked right away!
Hi Roni,
We really are impressed with you, and I promise I’ll call soon.
Love,

Hey Roni – check the hyperlink on your wasabi dressing…? I’m confused!
Hi Roni,
I love grape nuts with light chocolate soymilk! I am glad I am not the only one who has figured out that combination.
Ha! I totally fell for the Oprah line….Either way it’s still cool even if it was to ask about a product. lol
ok, so I am confused…is the 2nd comment really from Oprah???
Debbie – Wasabi link all fixed! Thanks!
Zoey – It’s awesome with bananas.. I was actually thinking of posting a recipe on GLB everyone needs to know how good it is!!
Charmaine – No, it’s a joke.
Roni – that is FANTASTIC! You are maintaining like a champ!
Hope Oprah comes around again;)
Yeah, you got me,too!!:) I enjoy your blog so much, Roni. Thanks for lifting my spirits and bringing common sense to weight loss.
Oprah should totally call you! Although even if just for a product it still rocks!
I am TOTALLY busted on this one… although I do check your site daily, I was roped in by the Oprah title to check right away after seeing it on FB this morning! I don’t remember ever reading anythign about Weight View on your blog… can you explain a bit?
Roni! You are so cute with your tricky headlines. ;)
So, I’m curious – how did you use WeightView? (have it on my site…)
What a weigh in. You rock!
ha ha. I love the “oprah” comment from Jim (got me to click his link!) :)
~Lisa
What a tease!….you got me too…I was fully prepared to TIVO that show…or better yet, try to get tickets and take a couple of days off!!
hi roni i love the combination of your food.
Hi Roni ~ I just tried the grape nuts with lite chocolate soy milk and bananas. So crunchy and delicious! I didn’t realize grape nuts had so much fiber!
