Take it easy on yourself.
You’re back is feeling better. Forget about the days you took off and do what you can when you can. The only way you fail is to give up. REMEMBER THAT.
And yea… so you’ve eaten out a few times this week. It’s ok. Get some healthy supplies this weekend and go back to the basics.
Oh! and for Pete’s sake… STOP with nighttime snacking!! M&Ms and Dorritos are NOT relieving any stress. Geesh!
| Food | Units |
|---|---|
| quick banana on the way to work | |

| didn’t bring lunch – bought it on campus… baked cod, easy on the mashed tators and extra on the green beans -it was yummy! | |
| some pistachios at work | |
| failed crockpot dinner – suppose to be sweet and sour pork — totally overcooked. I was the only one to eat it | |
| handful of m&ms | |
| too many dorritos | |
| Total: | N/A |

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 [...]

Yes, I agree, quit beating yourself up:) You always get right back on track, tomorrows a new day. And I love your notes to self.
Thank you for this great site I just recently discovered. It’s becoming my go to blog, as I’m just beginning again, at age 55, on the weightloss and get healthier and fit journey. Long time FOODADDICT. From what I’ve read of your blog so far (and my intention is to go to the beginning and read it through like a novel!), you truly get it – the whole overeating, dieting, body obsession and absolutely possible RECOVERY from the trials of it all. Making peace with food, body, life, stress, joy, pain – all of it. And your practical suggestions and videos are great. No more lurking for me (other than a yogurt comment awhile back!)…I get a lot of help and support from reading your journey.
hang in there! I’ve had back pain for 3 weeks and am so over it.
Doesn’t it suck when a dinner turns out bad? I hate that
Thanks Roni, for posting imperfection, struggles and some positive self-talk. It’s a great model for me as this is the hurdle I’m trying to conquer—forgiving, forgetting and going forward!
Roni – I just want you to know that you inspire me so much! your honesty is so encouraging and helpful. This week has been an awful week for us – sleep deprived, in the middle of potty-training, sickness and frankly laziness. I have fallen back into lazy, bad habits a few times this week but over the past year you’ve help me see a slip-up isn’t the end. that I can bring myself out of it. In fact, in a few minutes, TheGirl and I are going to hit up our local farm for fruits and veggies for the weekend and then hit the grocery for some heathy staples for the upcoming week. it’s nice to know there areother out there goign through the same thing. And, I guess, even though deep down I *know* one bad week won’t undo a year’s worth of work and change, it’s comforting and helpful to know there are other’s out there who go through the same thing and shake it and get right back on track! thanks for being an inspiration, Roni!
Roni-
I read your website everyday and enjoy everything about it! I can so relate to you, I lost 30 pounds, started running last year and just did my first 10 miler. You really are an inspiration!
SO many of us have problems with nighttime snacking. I actually talked with my doctor about it today and she encouraged me to take things one step at a time. Before cutting out any snacks, she said to become more active like taking an evening stroll. Then I can still snack, but at least I haven’t sat around while doing it. She said eventually I can move towards eliminating the snacks, but slowly. I love her idea and feel like it might actually work for me. It’s already kind of working. Like tonight instead of having a fluffernutter (getting red cheeks) AND a cookie for dessert. I just made the fluffernutter and put the cookie away b/c I knew that cookie would completely undo the walking I just did, but the fluffernutter would be an appropriate little treat. Anyway, I’m preaching to the choir, but just thought I’d put that out there in case any of your readers might benefit from it. Have a great weekend Roni! (Long time reader – 2 years to be exact, but I have never commented before!)
What helps me is knowing that because this is a lifelong commitment, this kind of thing is a blip on the radar. Nobody can be perfect all the time, and these little curves and dips in the road are just minor occurrences…a small event in the larger picture. Think about how many years you’ve been at this. Now think about the small amount of time this week is in comparison. This is life. It gets in the way sometimes, but as long as you know you’re going to get right back to where you were, allow these little things to happen. In the long run, in the grand scheme of life, this is a teeny tiny dot in the middle of it.
I am 4 weeks into WW and I worry about the falling off track issue a lot. Will it happen to me? Am I so naive to believe it won’t (probably). My WW leader this week was a sub, and she’s been on WW for 30 years. What a damn long time to track food. I want to be as good as her, but the thought is a bit disheartening I suppose. In the meantime, I enjoy looking to you for some inspiration of the more real variety. And I know you will continue to succeed.
