Tomorrow is packing day and then Saturday we are going all Griswold and hitting the road to Disney! I’m super duper psyched! But I couldn’t leave without emptying my head of these thoughts! Please excuse my shortness… I’m falling asleep at the wheel tonight.
- Great tips from Karena on how to get the the body you want. And NO it’s not a fad diet. Just some good old "fashion" advice.
- How about a laugh from our friend, Jack Sh*t? Fellow Weight Watcher veterans will get a chuckle out of Things You’d Like to Say at Your Weight Watchers Meeting.
- Diet Blog had an interesting post about Fatorexia. I suffer from the opposite problem but I know many women who can relate to feeling smaller then they really are. Interesting.
- Here’s a tip Krista shot me from the blog Leading the Weigh (which doubles as my new blog this week – love it!) How many times have you thrown out that bag of baby spinach before? Well no more! Check out the Hot Tip: Don’t throw out that baby spinach!
As for updates from me…
- I got a chance to post a wonderful guest article on FitBloggin, Using Blogging to Repair A Damaged Body Image. Don’t forget I’m accepting guest posts all the time. Just let me know if you have an idea!
- On GreenLiteBites I only had time to post 1 idea, Vidalia Roasted Radishes. Little guy and I made a Mango Berry smoothie but I’m just to tired to get it up there. :(
- On SkinnyMinnyMedia I posted a video about what motivates us to work, or at least what motivates me to work. It was a very timely find considering my recent career decisions.
- On Blog To Lose I posted a new challenging challenge. One week of food journaling! and YES I plan on completing this challenge while in Disney. My goal is to post daily updates of my food adventures during the road trip and at the parks. I’m actually looking forward to it. Actually I think I’m just looking forward to break in the daily grind routine. I’m SO happy I’m going to be spending the next 10 days just with my family. Just thinking about it makes me smile.
So that’s it for this week. I’m trying to prep that second Ask Roni video I recorded a few weeks back before I go but I’m not making any promises. I will be posting updates while traveling on Twitter and my FaceBook Page, not to mention my food journal account. I hope to start posting daily food journal here on the blog with a few pics starting Monday, once we actually arrive at Disney.
Ok, got to go get some sleep. I have a big day tomorrow getting ready for the trip. I’ll be picking up supplies, getting the family mobile’s oil changed, taking my other poor car to the body shop oh! AND I’m getting my hair colored. Thankfully I have a furlough day to run all these errands. ;)

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 [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

I totally cracked up at “Griswold”…that is exactly how my family rolls, too! I hope you have a great trip! And I’m so stoked to use the cool spinach tip….glad you liked it, too. Heather is a genius!
Have fun at Disney World! My husband and I spent a week there the first week of May. It was hot! But the rides were fun. Be sure to do Toy Story at Hollywood (go get a fast pass first thing) and the Gliding one at Epcot (you’ll probably need a fast pass there, too). So fun!
Have a blast.
Roni, Make sure you do Philharmagic in the Magic Kingdom. It is in the same area as Dumbo and Its a small World. It is a 3 d mickey movie that is so awesome. When things happen in the movie, like the scene from Beauty and the Beast “Be our Guest” (with all the food) you actually smell the bluberries. And when its windy in the movie you actually feel the wind. My kids love it so much, even now and they are 10, 15 and 18 years old!! I know Ryan would love it. Have fun!!
Roni, I am so jealous! We’ve been to Disney the past three years and are secretly planning another trip for the end of the year. I’d love to see your food journals because, I have to say, that there is no Weight Watchers for me in Disneyworld. I always have good intentions but they fly right out the window as soon as I see Cinderella’s castle. The good news is, with all that walking, I barely had a gain each time. So have fun and shoot us some twitpics! And give Mickey a hug for me!
Have a great vacation Roni! I’ve never gotten my kids to disney, they’re going on 11, 9, and 5. I so wish we could take a trip like that. Also I’m surprisied you just found Leading the Weigh, I’ve been reading Heather’s blog as long as yours, I can’t believe it’s years now! Have a great Holiday!
Love the Fatorexia link! I’m such a perfect example. I look in the mirror and still see my 113 lb self instead of the woman who is 60 lbs heavier. If you ever get the time (ha!), you should read Such a Pretty Fat by Jen Lancaster.
Have a great time in Disney! I’m heading over to check out the blogs you mentioned.
Jen – I actually met her 2 years ago at a conference. She was the keynote. Love her books!
