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?

I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...] -
Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...] -
I bought a bag of kale instead of a bag of spinach this week. My plan was to figure out ways to get this power house vegetable IN me and hopefully IN my family, although unless I hide it, they aren't game. According to NutritionData.com, Kale... [...]

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!

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!
