Oh my has it been a bear of a week. In a good way!
I’ve been working my tail off on a new site. No no no, not for me, I have enough! It’s for my job. I’m in this weird but interesting position where I blog for myself and now I blog for work. Well at least it’s part of my job for the moment. Today we launched SpeakHealth.org. It’s a blog about health and I’m not only one of four contributors but I built and helped design the site. It’s been nice working with a team of people again. That’s the one thing I missed the most by being on my own.
Besides that I’ve been simply spending time with the family. Every night after work we eat dinner and do something fun. It’s been great but I’m making NO progress on the house (still have many things to organize) and I have been getting NO workouts in. It’s strange. For so long I wasn’t an exerciser and then the last 2 years I really fell in love with it but now I feel I’m forcing it again. Maybe I’m just coming off the high of the marathon?? I hope that’s it. I miss the feeling I used to get after a great workout and I’m a little worried that my busy schedule is going to get me out of the habit of taking that time for myself.
Anyway, I won’t bore you with my self analyzing I have a giveaway to get to!
The Lose for Good Weight Watchers campaign is coming to a close and as a thank you wrap up I was given one more 3 month trial membership to giveaway! Plus I have runner up prizes too!
Here’s the prize packs
1 Grand Prize
- 1 3-month membership (online or meeting-winners choice)
- A tote back and Lose for Good tee
2 Runners Up
- A tote & Lose for Good tee.
If you’d like to be entered in the random drawing simply comment below. I will pick the winner this saturday morning at 11AM. I know, short turnover. Sorry about that. :(
Ok, I need to run. Tomorrow I’m bringing the little guy to work with me since his preschool is closed and Dad is away on business. We’ve packed our lunches and he is simply ecstatic! I’m just hoping I can keep him busy all day my office. This is going to be an adventure! :)

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 [...]

Awesome giveaway!! Thanks for always being such an inspiration :-)
Whoa tons of comments! Hey I know how you feel about feeling like you have to push yourself into the exercising again. I like to mix it up and will stop working out if i get too bored. I found a combination of workout videos like exercise tv and classes at the gym (kickboxing, sculpting etc..) really hold my attention and makes exercise fun and exciting again. Are there some fun classes you could take? Maybe once a week would make working out fresh again.
Pick me coach!!! ;-)
please randomly pick me!!! i need/want that membership!!!

I would love to have that membership. Pick me!!

Roni – love you, love your blog, keep inspiring us.
Hi Roni – I love your sites. They are so motivational. Please add me to the contest list. Thanks!
I’ve been checking out your websites from time to time for the past 2 to 3 years and this is a first for me to enter into anything. I find you refreshing, spontaneous and motivating. Congratulations on your successes and wishing you the best in the future. I’m down 26lbs with Weight Watchers ( in 5 months) and I’m half way there. I’m interested in exploring what is available on their website membership too. I’m not sure that I’ll be eligible because I’m from Canada but thought I’d send a quick note to say that I’d be interested to participate.
Can’t wait to see the new site. And, this giveaway could be just the thing I need right now, so I hope that I win!
Running Roni, please enter me in the WW contest. Congrats sooooo much on your marathon. I’ve been reading your blog since before I knew what one was. You have inspired me to create my own blog and even to start running!

SOUNDS SUPER TERRIFIC! COUNT ME IN!
I lost 40lbs two years ago on WW and now have gained it all back. I am trying to get back on track but just bought a new house so we are in unpacking limbo. I would love a membership to WW to get back on track.
PS I LOVE your site. You ROCK!!!!
Hi Roni, I have been doing WW on and off for years, and I love the program! It helps me control my portion sizes. I am having trouble staying motivated on my own. I would love to win a WW membership! I need to lose this baby weight (son is now 5-haha)!! Thanks for all you, I love your websites!
I would love to win this. Can’t wait to read more of your blog.
I’ve got 90+ pounds to lose and would love to win this. I love your blog! Keep up the fantastic work!
i am at 363lbs and could so use this. i am ready this time. i am. winning this would just help support my being ready.
*fingers crossed*
My family is trying to get fit. This would be a great prize.
You look amazing Roni….hard work does pay off!! I lost 200lbs on WW and have gained 100lbs back. It is the only program that works for me. I had to quit because I went back to school and needed every penny to support that and my family of four. I am finished school now and am desperate to get this weight off!! I feel like it is stopping me from getting the job that I want and it plays hell with my confidence. Please, more than words can express I need this program and the people to support me. I would be forever grateful.
Sincerely yours,
L.Holden
