Ok, so I’m not doing the best on the diet front this week. I confessed some of my stress eating, there’s been more. It’s not a big deal. I refuse to give myself a guilt trip. It is what it is and I own all my food decisions.
I don’t have to be perfect.
Actually I will never be perfect BUT I can and will be accountable…
I knew I would not be able to make my meeting today so yesterday I snuck in for a quick weigh in.
.2 down.
I’ll TAKE IT!
Actually I’m ecstatic. I really was expecting a gain.
Let me warn you I’m may be a little sketchy on the blog for the rest of the week. FitBloggin’ festivities start this evening. I’m excited and nervous. It’s going to be a crazy few days.
To help me cope with the stress I snuck in for a quick pedicure. It was my way of taking a breather and patting myself on the back for weighing in.
I went with a fun green…
to match the overall color scheme of the conference…
I love fun toe colors!
There is one thing I’m keeping in mind for the next 3 days….
CONFIDENCE.
I’m going to do my best to be confident. I meant every word I said in my recent, What Makes ME Feel Beautiful post.
Ok, I’m off… I need some sleep to help prepare for te craziness!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

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 [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...]

Love the green! & I had a food “incident” too – will not stress about it. It’s OVER! (thanks for the advice!)
Dawn
Aren’t FUN toe-polish colours are always uplifting!? I always go with sky-blue for summer. Wishing you an awesome time at FitBloggin’ and looking forward to your posts about it! Congrats on the great weigh-in – the calmer weeks will be even better for you I bet. This was exactly the post I needed to read as I at 13 flex points worth of cereal last night. Even though I was accountable, it’s the fact that I felt out-of-control eating that makes me feel blah today. On to a good day today!!!!
The conference will go great! You’ve done everything yu can so now have fun and enjoy! LOVE the green toes!
Great that you got in some you time :) I’m sure once you’re with all your bloggin buddies you will feel Happy Happy :)
Best of luck this weekend. Have a fantastic time! I just know it’s going to be a huge success!
I looked at your weigh in and realized that you eat more that I should and then remembered you’re tall and just had a baby :) Then the lightbulb went off. Right now I’m 5′#’ and 275 pounds (that traumatic weight gain snuck in without me even seeing it coming – FIL passed I thought I was ok with it) Anywho – it dawned on me how great it would be to be 163 pounds. Heck it would be great to be 225. I’ve been signed up at WW online and probably paid for more months than I followed the plan. But I didn’t cancel so there must be some kind of motivation going on (YOU perhaps?) I know WW only gives you a small goal to attain but for some reason I just see the 125 I would LOVE to be, not the 160, 170, 180, 220 etc that it would feel so GOOD to be. Thanks again for being in my life. You are making me think below the surface and someday I’m sure that will kick in in my brain :) Keep up the awesome work and have a great week!!
Congrats on the loss! :)
Love the nail polish colors & the pretty FitBloggin signs! See ya later today! :)
Good luck with everything. You are a daily inspiration to me!
And you’re rockin’ those green toes!
Love fun nail colors! Think about doing purple tomorrow with my pedi.
Have a super fun time with FitBloggin. You’ll do awesome!
Hey Roni:
I’ve planned 2 conferences in my short life. After the first one, I remember lying on my bed for an entire day–staring at the ceiling fan. I’m pretty sure that there is little more difficult or more rewarding than event/conference planning (except maybe being a parent). Be good to yourself. Try to have fun in the midst of the drama of it all. Forgive mistakes–no one else will notice, and even if they do, those who matter will definitely understand!
Best of luck, you definitely fall under the category of “luck comes to the prepared”!
Happy FitBloggin’! Have a great, smooth and successful conference!
Roni, I am so proud of you! I know that I might be no one at all to you, but I want to tell you that although we are on different weight paths you are an inspiration for me. I will be thinking about you this weekend and I am sure that everything will go great at FitBloggin! :D
Good job weighing in with all the craziness of this week!
A pedicure makes you feel happy and relaxed. Who can’t smile looking at painted toes!
re: the nails and the weight loss, ohhh yeah!! (said in koolaid man voice)
Enjoy Fitbloggin’! I’m sure it’ll be a HUGE success! (and congratulations on the .2 down)
Sorry if this posts twice, my first post seems to have disappeared.
Anyways i’m back with a -.08 lb weight loss. I was hoping for alot more, but I have also had a very stressful week. Hoping next week will be much better.
Good luck with Fit Bloggin, wish I could be there & congrats on your -.02 lb loss. You are very consistent & an inspiration.
Hope you’re having a great time at Fitbloggin! Great job on the .2 loss! Considering all the stress you are under, I think that’s amazing.
