Kayla sent me this note a few weeks ago…
Being a binge eater and constantly fighting this eating and losing weight battle, I thought you would like this quote. “One bad morning does not make for a bad day, One bad day does not make for a bad week, one bad week does not make for a bad month, one bad month does not make for a bad year. You decide where the chain stops.”
We really do decide, don’t we? Sometimes I take the ownership of it all for granted.
This reminded me of a Weekend Quote from last year. Click here to read How Many Eggs Have You Thrown Away?

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 [...]

You have no idea how much I needed to read that. I’m printing it and putting it all over my house!!!
I like this. A lot! I have been on the yo-yo circuit for awhile now. Only recently did I decide that I actually have control over all of this. I’m modifying my diet to include more vegetables and less meat and cheese. DUH! <— you think right? But I've had a nasty relationship with veggies all my life, and I decided I was going to own it this week! I quietly made the decision to spend my entire grocery budget on produce. Do you know now that every time I open my fridge there is something I can grab and eat? Fruit and veggies galore! And I feel awesome – I took charge! I'm done having dbad weeks/months/years – I'm making a difference but making a different choice and I'm not letting some corporate plan tell me what and when I should it.
*Phew* I feel so much better!
One my of my favourites is:
If you trip on one step, you don’t then throw yourself down the whole staircase, do you?
I’ve been hearing some great quotes this week and this is another :) One lady at my meeting this week said one of her leaders told her: if you trip down a stair, you don’t just go ahead and fling yourself down the entire flight of stairs do you? Nope, you catch yourself, regain your balance, and take it step by step the rest of the way. That spoke to me alot. Thanks Roni! Have a great weekend!
Great minds thing alike, Lori T! :)
yesterday i went on a chocolate binge in the morning… could.not.get.enough.chocolate….. been pretty stressed out with our move… had to get my husband to the airport early… excuses, excuses… had to take a nap to “snap out of it”… decided after i woke up that i would eat fruits and veggies the rest of the day! it helps to realize you really can change the direction of things…
Perfect! Love this.
Awesome. I have been struggling getting back on track after not being able to attend meetings for a month. Thinking of getting on the scale up a little after a month when I should have been down a lot just gives me anxiety. But I cannot quit. Its got to stop! Thanks for posting this. I love the tripping on the step analogy as well! I seem to always throw myself down the stairs and then stay there forever!
This is an excellent quote. Yesterday was my bad day so I guess I better make today count. Excellent post.
That. I like!
Those are all awesome analogies, and they frankly made me smile… the thought of me saying “Oh, what the heck” and flinging myself down the stairs, or equally ridiculous, haphazardly throwing eggs onto the kitchen floor. I can just imagine my husband and kids standing in the doorway of the kitchen with their mouths hanging open….. makes me smile! :)
Awesome quote. How many times I have had a bad morning and threw the entire day down the toilet. I have to keep this quote in my mind for those times. Thanks for the reminder.
What a great quote! I am really learning to embrace that mentality! But it is hard, but this quote is so true!
Roni,
Thank you for putting this quote up that I sent you! After having a super bad day, that is def what I needed!
