November 21, 2008 Posted in Ask Roni Q&A, Video Posts, podcasts Comments 9 Comments »

It’s so funny that I’m posting this now as I just return from my 2 hour workout at the gym. Ok, well, maybe it’s not THAT funny, but it struck me that I’m all about exercise lately. I’m really liking this "new active Roni". ;~P

Side note… what is about a turtleneck that makes people look old? oh wait…. that’s just me, I am getting old. :~P

Thursday Thoughts IX

Thursday Thoughts

OK, this is VERY weird for me. As I’m writing this I’m recording a video while reviewing a new camera phone. Nokia sent me one of their phones as a trial so I can record a "Day in the Life" video of myself while I review the video phone. I’ll post more about that later, but I started the recording today and I plan on doing clips up until tomorrow morning. It’s weird but fun as you guys know how much I like to talk. ;~P Honestly, I feel like I’m doing my own reality show, it’s kind of crazy. LOL

Anyway, let’s get to these thoughts! Read the rest of this entry »

Review: Blue Bunny Ice Cream

Where are you on your exercise journey?

Where are you on your exercise journey?

I swear "journey" must be the word used most on my blog. Sometimes I think it’s cheesy but when you really think about it, everything we do in life is a journey, a process. You don’t just wake up one day with a new skill, a new habit or even a new perspective. Every day you learn and grow in the direction you decide to point yourself in. That’s right, YOU decide.

Beginner Treadmill Workout (with a detour)

November 18, 2008 Posted in Workout Ideas, Workouts/Running Comments 23 Comments »

Most of you know my workout history, right? I mention it on my Workout Progress page (which I’m not updating as much as I should). It’s a very summarized version of my personal workout history but if you look at a stream of old posts since starting this blog you’ll get a pretty good picture of my progression these last 3 years.

(Not So) Quick Update with a Laugh

November 17, 2008 Posted in Food Journals, Fun Stuff, Journal Comments 20 Comments »

So. Where do I begin? My weekend was a bit crazy. After my "It’s O.K." Note to Self post I continued to eat, and eat, and EAT. Saturday was even worse with stadium food and then going out to dinner in the city. I’m not sure what was up with me. I just wanted to eat and I used the "I’ll just start again Sunday" mentality to justify all the junk food. Read the rest of this entry »

Review: Quaker Oatmeal Squares

Quaker Oatmeal Squares

I have quaker products coming out of my ears from the chicago trip. Before I left they were nice enough to send a box of products for us to try. A few of the things I liked, a few I didn’t and some I haven’t even gotten a chance to eat yet!

This morning the toddler and I finally broke into a box of Quaker Oatmeal Squares. They sent two flavors, cinnamon (YAY!) and maple (Boo!). Can you tell I don’t like maple favored stuff? ;~) So we broke into the cinnamon.

Stock up on Choice Ramen

November 12, 2008 Posted in Food Journals, Journal Comments 41 Comments »

A few months ago I reviewed Choice Ramen Noodles. I was ecstatic to find a healthier alternative to an old college favorite. I used them to experiment with quick meals like my Quick Ramen Noodle Lunch, Quick Ramen Noodle Lunch II and Ramen Chili. They were a fun pantry item to keep on hand for a fast filling meal in a hurry.

Well I just found out they are discontinuing the product line. Someone sent me an email letting me know and I wrote the company to verify.

This makes me sad and angry! Read the rest of this entry »
