It’s a Bullet List kind of night. Revenge is on and I have to wrap this baby up!
- Weigh in is what it is. I’m down from last week and still holding steady since September WHICH is a total win as post-holidays I’m where I was pre-holidays. Check out my weight progress page. I finally updated it. Still down almost 25 pounds since baby #2. I’m about 5 lbs away from my Weight Watchers goal and 10 lbs up from my average pre-pregnancy weight BUT I’m seriously rocking the workouts (today I did spinning for the first time in over 3 years! I weight train 2-3 times a week and I take at least 1 cardio class or long run a week) I feel greeeeat! <– sorry Tony the Tiger just snuck out of me on that one.
- That’s It Fruit bars are going to Dina. I used the Pick Giveaway plugin to select the winner. Congrats Dina!
- I posted a cute Baby vs. Cat picture for Wordless Wednesday on Baby’s First year. It cracks me up every time I see. Little Bean is completely obsessed with Irish and she’s pretty indifferent about him.
- The Kale salad I mentioned yesterday is up on GreenLiteBites. I ate the leftovers today and it was awesome!
That’s about it for me today. Tomorrow I have a Doc appointment and Little Bean will be spending his first day in a home daycare. It’s a test for both of us.
ok, I’m out. It’s Revenge, bed and an early class at the gym!

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 [...]
"@Nubiancooki darn! I don't think I have any popsicle ideas although I will tell you almond milk and sugar free chocolate pudding is AWESOME!— RoniNoone

I just looked at your weight progress page. You’ve done great.
I hope I can do as well over the next 17 months, as I try to lose 5 pounds a month by age 70.
Great job Roni! I hope you enjoy class! Off to check out the other links.
I hope Little Bean loves daycare! We have always used in-home daycares and we currently have one that we LOVE. It is a great feeling to find someone you know will treat your child well!
I was driving to work today and all of a sudden I thought,
I haven’t made Roni’s meatballs and sauce in a while! Have to do it soon…they are so good!
I am new to your blog, but just curious isn’t that a pretty low weight for someone at your height? What is your goal?
my goal is 149.
range for medium frame with my height.. 139-153
But honestly I don’t sweat the details anymore. Check out my story for a bit more about where I’ve come from…

Thanks for commenting! :)
Nice Tony the Tiger :) I never got into spinning – I tried it a few times but couldn’t really enjoy it. That being said, I like actual bike riding – just rode my bike across Milan today in 38F weather – brrr! ;)
OMG…the pictures of Little Bean and the kitty are hilarious!!! I’m also anxious to try your kale recipe. I’ve been a little obsessed with kale lately, and am always on the hunt for new ways to serve it. Have a great Thursday Roni!!!
5 pounds away from your WW goal is awesome! I am interested in trying your kale salad. I have a tough time figuring out how to work in kale in anything other than juicing.
Keep up the good work!
I’m curious if you “eat” your activity points. The old WW points system let you “trade in” your activity points for extra food points for the day. I’ll be honest and say I don’t know what the new WWP plan endorses…I think it’s optional.
Your exercise schedule is admirable! Your activity points would be through the roof!
I don’t track them. Never did. Instead I give myself a little leeway. If I’m hungry at the end of the day and ate all my points, I will go over a point or two. I find, for me the best balance is to just use the points as a loose guide. It helps me make lighter meal and snack choices. I try really hard not to get to OCD about it. When I get stuck on the details it always tends to backfire for me.
Hi Roni what would you say has been your most effective strategy at weight loss? I left a comment on another one of your posts as well. Please email me, I’d love to share your tips and stories on weightlossmother. You’re doing GREAT!
good luck with the next 5lbs you wish to lose to get to your weight watchers goal weight! If you’d like a tip to increase fat burning – when you do your weights, control the tempo of the lift so it takes you 3 seconds to contract the muscle and 3 seconds to relax the muscle (on the way down). This has shown to triple growth hormone levels – which will speed up fat burning significantly, as opposed to lifting at a normal tempo of approx 1 second up and down. If you try this you will see results very quickly. Great read btw! :)
Awesome job roni! I’m on my way towards my weight loss goal and I can sympatize with you. It’s tough work but man is it worth it. Keep it up.
