Ugh. I ate and ate and ate and ATE! Saturday was my Mom’s surprise 60th birthday party. I’ve been planning it for a few weeks now but unable to tell you about it. Mom does read now and then (right Mom?) and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise. And.. She WAS surprised!
The party was at a buffet and OMG could there possible be MORE food there that I wanted to try? I took a little of everything and ate waaaay past the point of fullness. Did that stop me from munching on popcorn just an hour later and scoffing down 3 pieces of pizza after that? Nope. Then, after a few drinks with a friend, I ate yet again! A large grilled chicken Panini and some chips. I went to bed a little tipsy and A LOT full.
Today was no better. I started off with great intentions and a fabulous run. Then the husband brought home McDonald’s or lunch. We had ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa, more chips then I’d like to admit and stopped at McDonald’s AGAIN for dinner. The double cheeseburger is still sitting in my gut like a rock. Bleh. Bleh. Bleh. Bleh. BLEH!
Ok… confession, vent, whatever you want to call it, is over. I ate what I ate. I could sit here and go into why I think I did and over analyze the whole weekend but I’m not going to bore you. Instead I look ahead. I have a fridge full of veggies from the farm and a beach to trip to plan. We leave on Saturday for our yearly shore trip.
Overall, it was a great weekend and I plan on making it a great week! You?

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 [...] -
Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...] -
I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

Track and move on is always the best. Don’t fret about it…just make better choices next. One weekend off isn’t going to kill ya.
And I’m glad the party was awesome. I’m sure your mom LOVED it!
don’t punish your todays and tomorrows for your yesterdays!
I went running in the literally gale force winds and rain. I am just determined to move my body and fuel it. no points, no scale (well once weekly) and just pure and honest intuitive ness…cause that’s really what I want.
have a good week!
honestly, this made me laugh. I mean, how could you even eat MD for lunch AND dinner? I would say it’s a funny day in a way. simle at yourself when you feel that fullness and move on.
I had to laugh when I saw this photo as our cat sits just like that! And yes, I related to her sometimes too with the full tummy….
Water, water, water, and grace to know that you are more than your food choices. You are living a very full and happy life! You are a great example for others.
What’s done is done. Life is moving on and so are you (and your choices.) Sounds like you have some great stuff to look forward to.
Have a great week! :)
That poor kitty! Made me laugh, but dang, I know how he/she feels. I, for some ridiculous reason, ate an entire 5 oz bag of Kettle chips in front of the tv today for BREAKFAST. Go me. haha. Moving on. =) We all have shit days…..thankfully, they are just days and no longer years like was my previous behavior. A shore trip *shore* sounds fun!
yep
been there and done that too.
it IS a new day.
come over to my virtual house as the Tornado is sharing her best MINDFUL eating tips.
my fave? touchsqueezerelishembrace your food…then eat.
bring a bib :)

I learned from hearing you say many times, “track and move on” or “I’m not gaining back all my lost weight from one weekend of eating.” A “blow” weekend sometimes is needed, now you won’t want that again for a looooong time.
I love you for posts like this because it makes me realize that these days just happen, all the time and to everyone. It makes my Saturday bingefest seem less like the end of the world. I’m still in a place where every horrible eating day scares me because it makes me feel like I am slipping back into bad habits… but this weekend, for the first time, I was able to just let it go and get back to healthy choices. I was so proud of being able to just walk away from it! Seeing posts like this from you are part of what helps me to just keep going, so thank you so much!
It is sooo nice that you admit this stuff to all of us. Otherwise we’d feel even worse about ourselves when we have those days too. You site continues to be an inspiration; not because you eat so well. But because, instead, that you admit to eating poorly and you cope with it and move on. It shows us that it happens, that you are human, and that we can cope with those days. Because, lets face it, life is gonna happen. Thanks Roni!!
This is one of those weeks where I was so happy for Monday to roll around. I have joined a new summer “diet” challenge and needed some extra motivation. But discovered that I had fallen back into my old “the diet starts Monday so what do I want to binge on between now and then” mentality.
Hi Roni! I totally understand where you’re coming from and it’s something I totally struggle with since originally losing 40 lbs. via Weight Watchers. I still attend meetings as I have yet to reach my goal but I’ve been stuck because of doing things similiar to what you mentioned way too many times. I recently have been re-reading the Beck Diet Solution which helped me to lose the 40 lbs. in the first place. What frustrates me about this is that this is not how a naturally thin person eats. They know when to say “enough” and they no when to say “no”. My husband (who is naturally thin) has no problem refusing food if he’s not hungy. Why can’t I? I realize I cannot keep doing this and maintain my loss/keep losing and remain a healthy person. I’m going to keep plugging along and I know you will too but you might want to check the book I mentioned because there’s so much more to why we’re overeating then just lack of willpower.
i love, Love, LOVE that you are so real! ugh…i had a weekend like that too and was very frustrated…but c’est la vie yes?? today is a new day, and like you, my fridge is full of farmers market goodies…tho no beach trip to plan…hahah!
Thanks for the honesty, Roni, as always! It is so important for us to know that we all do that sometimes… when we think that the skinny ladies must never slip up, we set ourselves up for failure.
I just tweeted my kindof a trainwreck of yesterday (which included 3 chocolate chip cookies, some bbq chips, AND a late night popcorn snack!), and I feel better for it. If my sister sees that I ate that stuff, and I’m still on track, she’ll understand that SHE can do this too! :)
Thanks for sharing Roni & letting us know we’re all human. You are an inspiration to all of us & I know you’ll brush yourself off & move on.
I finally got on the scale after a lllllooonnnnnngggg time of avoiding, afraid to see how much weight I’d gained back. Well, let’s be honest I had lost a total of 75 lbs & i’ve gained back as of this morning 23 lbs. OMG!!! That was difficult to type & admit. I’m trying to tell myself it could’ve been worse & now it’s time to nip it in the butt!! :) I didn’t binge after seeing the number & I had a pretty good weekend. 10 mile run on Saturday & an hour bike ride Sunday. Ate really well Saturday & maybe munched a little too much Sunday, but not too crazy. Sunday was a very stressful day with family news. :(
Anyways thanks for letting me ramble. Hope everyone can think good thoughts for me to get these 23lbs back off!!!!
SO glad im not the only one!!! I had Pizza hut…a gigantic burger from this great restraunt around here… and ice cream..and chips with cheese….it was insane.. but I didnt gain.. and i walked 8 miles on saturday..and 3 more today….back on track!!!
Thank you for confessing! When the rock star blogger Roni actually has an eating weekend that can rival some of mine, I just feel a little less bad about myself! I really appreciate your honesty.
You know what Roni, it was a special weekend, your Momma’s b-day, so I wouldn’t sweat it. Although I almost spit out my soup I was eating when I saw that picture of the cat! Too funny!! You’ll get back on!
I’m glad that you had a nice time at the party, and I hope you have a super-fantabulous vacation at the seashore!
That picture is classic! Perfectly sums up indulgent, fun weekends!
I feel the same way. This weekend was my birthday and I ate way too much! I’m over it now because I feel blah. If someone says birthday cake, I cringe! LOL!!
Ugh, I’m SOOOOO glad to see someone like you – a person SUPER successful at weight loss – had days like that. I have been struggling to lose weight FOREVER now and when I have days like that I feel so defeated. Thanks for sharing!
