2008 Goals
Get back to my personal goal of 140lbs
This past fall has been on the high side for me in the scale department. I only have a few pounds to lose to get back to my personal goal. (in case you are wondering my Weight Watchers goal is 149 and my healthy weight range is 135-165).
Goal Met: Not Yet — Note sure I want to since lifting weights
Climb the inclined (hard level) rock wall at the gym
I started climbing the rock wall at the gym a few weeks after starting to work out. I LOVE it! My goal this year it to reach the top of the hardest wall, the crazy inclined wall. It’s going to be tough but I’m supper psyched to try!
Goal Met: Not Yet Left the gym with the wall. :(
Do 1 Unassisted Pull (chin) Up
This may seem like a weird goal but I have NEVER been able to to do a pull up. Never! Call me weakling go ahead, I don’t mind. Right now I can do about 5 pull ups by offsetting my weight by about 64 pounds. by the end of the year I hope to do one unassisted. Just one. I’m not sure if that too easy of a goal or to unrealistic, I guess we’ll see!
Goal Met: 11/7/2008 see the proof!
2007 Goals
I didn’t really set official goal in 2007, but this one needs mentioning post fact.
Climb the slight inclined (medium level) rock wall at the gym
I wanted to try the rock climbing wall for awhile but I was chicken. I thought I’d look like an idiot being the only one over the age of 16 climbing the wall. Then one day I said the heck with it! Gave the easy wall a try and was immediately hooked. I practiced a couple more time and then took my hand on at the medium wall. It took almost 2 months for me to reach the top and ring that bell but I did it!
Goal Met: 10/25/2007
Original Goals
10% of My Weight (20 lbs)
For those of you on Weight Watchers you know this is your first goal on the program. I am already almost there and hope to hit this goal in 6 weeks of doing Weight watchers.
Goal Met: 8/9/2005
To Have Lost More Then I Have to Lose
Does that make sense? To say it better… My next goal is to make it past the half way mark. That would be losing a total of 29 pounds. My Weight would be 177.6 and I would only have 28.8 pounds left. As of today (8/17/2005) I only have 5.4 pounds to go. Hopefully it will only take me 2 more weeks. We’ll see!
Goal Met: 9/7/2005
Return to Pre-Pregnancy Weight
I was in the mid 160’s when I found out I was pregnancy with Ryan. I can’t remember exactly so I figured I would set a goal 165 lbs.
Goal Met: 11/2/2005
Ultimate goal of 149 lbs
I have never been under 150 pounds, well at least not since I was about 12. Actually I remember distinctly the first time I weighed in at 150, funny how things stick with you. Anyway, this is my ultimate goal Weight.
Goal Met: 01/19/2006
Weight Watchers Lifetime Member
I love Weight Watchers! I love the meetings and sharing my success. Because of this I would love to become a lifetime member. For one, that means I hit my goal Weight and maintained it for 6 weeks but, two, it means I don’t have to pay anymore!
Goal Met: 03/02/2006
Weight Watchers Success Story
I just think this would be the coolest thing ever! I’m not sure why but I love to read others success and I think it would be nice to share my story.
Goal Met: Not Yet
No T-Shirt!
If your like me, you wouldn’t be seen dead on the beach without a t-shirt covering your bathing suit! I’ve been like that since a preteen. One of my big goals is to feel comfortable in my own skin. I think this is the toughest of them all.
Goal Met: ongoing

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
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 [...]

Roni,
Have you sent your success story to Weight Watchers? You are such an inspiration to those of us who have found your site. It would be great to do that on a larger scale. Anyhow…you did a GREAT job, you deserve it. It would be like a reward to open the Weight Watchers and be able to read your own story! Better yet, maybe they’d pick you for the cover story!

[…] OH! And thanks to Jen who submitted my story to Weight Watchers! She finally heard back and I’m filling out the paperwork. Maybe I’ll finally be able to check off my final goal! […]

Hi Roni,
I just started W.W last wednesday. I had tryed it for like a week once before, but I really didn’t want to pay for it. Your tools have made this very easy for me. I eat in moderation and still can enjoy icecream. I have also tryed some of your recipes which are great. I started out on Wed at 293 and today I weigh 286.8. I dont really feel smaller or look smaller but the scale say I have lost. Also I think Im losing to much to soon, is this bad or good? I mean dont get me wrong I love that I have lost almost 7lbs, but still. Thank you soo much for your site. And congrats on your success. I hope I can do the same!

hi roni
now that i have embarked on the weight loss journey, i go for morning brisk walks……i tried jogging but i guess its not working for me….i feel too heavy…….i used to go to the gym 2 years ago doing cardio and weight training…now with the baby and work..its hard to fit the gym in so trying walking for an hour …..how do i start jogging routine????
Slow and steady. Add a shot jog to your morning walks. Go a little further each day, jog a little longer. You’ll get there!
