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!

I know there’s a bottom line. I realize these companies need to make money but did they even try? Did they educate their consumers about the benefits of the healthier noodle? Do they care?

For God’s sake, It took me months, maybe even years to find them and I’m always hunting things down. Do you really mean to tell me if you had a choice you’d pick the deep fried option over the lighter choice? The one with less sodium, less calories and more fiber? How is this the right move for the company? Why don’t they pull the crap unhealthy $hit and replace it with the better option? No one says convenience foods can’t at least try to be a bit healthier. It’s not an all or nothing thing, people. Do we not see the problem with this?!? Don’t they want to make a healthier product?!?

Come ON people! (I’m not yelling at you, just venting) Don’t take the healthier options away!

If you agree with me and want to see this product stick around I suggest letting them know. I already sent an email. You now what response I was given when I asked if the the rumor about them pulling the product.

"Unfortunately, it is."

That was it. No explanation. Nothing. That ticked me off too. Here I am thanking them for an awesome product, going out of my way to advertise it for them because I think it’s a good option and all I get it 3 little words?

jerks.

Sorry, I’m in a weird mood tonight. I’m not sure why, I had a good day. I’m off to work on the question of the week and to possibly have a snack.

Tonight I warded off the cookie craving by making some Quick Chocolate Kettle Corn. I got a LOT more bite for my chocolate buck with that!

As for the updates, if you didn’t notice I changed my header image and tag line. I wanted to express my journey from wanting to be skinny to wanting to be healthy and I think my new statement says that. Well of course it does, because it actually does say it… One Mom’s Journey from Fat to Skinny to Healthy.

I also edited my About Page. It needed to represent me more and I think it does now. I realized my old message was geared more towards people who may already know me and have been reading for some time.

I also added ANOTHER pizza idea on GreenLiteBites and edited my Food Photos page to display 100 images at a time. It makes it much easier to find old ideas (for me anyway.) :~)

• I made a HUMANUNGOUS Stuffed zucchini and brought it to work. Everyone seemed to like it (unless they were being polite) ;~P But I have to admit, it was fun to cook for so many people. Especially people who aren’t like the husband. Translation… people who appreciate food other then Cheeseburgers, Mac & Cheese and chips.
• I went a bit overboard on the cookies tonight. I totally ate 3 because there were 3 in the package. I know, I KNOW bad reasoning but seriously, who can leave one cookie in the package? Ok, ok, I should be able to! I know but man they are so freakin’ good. There are only a few things I have a hard time with in the house and these cookies are one of them.
• Tomorrow I’ll be making homemade zucchini bread (also tested by co-workers), I think the recipe is ready for prime time so stay tuned to GreenLiteBites for that tomorrow!
• I’ll also be pulling out the camera tomorrow for a few video sessions.
• Still working on the podcast. Apple is dragging their feet and it’s totally out of my hands until I hear back from them. I’m sorry. :~(

If you remember I announced a few months ago that I had a Vitalicious store front. Vitalicious and I have been talking about a few promotions and I’m really excited about our new relationship. We are working on a “Roni’s Favorites” sample pack, a contest and I got them to agree to a Roni’s Weigh promotion code! So if you plan on buying any Vitalicious products please use the code RonisWeigh, you’ll get 10% off and be supporting my sites at the same time! Vitalicious will also be launching a new blog soon and asked me to supply some videos! How cool is that? :~)

I’m super excited about this. Vitalicious and I have had an informal relationship for a while. They’ve sent me samples to try and even used some of my ideas in newsletters but this is more “official” and I feel like my blog is growing up in a way. Plus I really like their products! :~)

Anyway, I was thinking what I would post about and what my title would be. Yes, I actually TRY to be clever although I rarely succeed. So last night when I was going to attempt to post but got too tired, the words So Much to Say popped into my head. You know, the song by Dave Matthew’s Band. I thought I’d use it as my post tittle. Then when I went to write the post I found I didn’t have really anything to say at all. Well, I did have stuff to say but I didn’t know how to say it. This “bloggers” block happens to me sometimes. So I decided to walk away and wait until I was inspired.

Well on my way home from the gym this morning don’t I hear So Much to Say on the radio. It made me laugh out loud, like the blog gods where trying to tell me something.

So here I am, posting with so much to say!

1. Labour Day weekend was a food fiasco! I had SO much fun but I ate WAY too much. I’m not beating myself up over it. I’m not quite sure why I ate that much but it was the holiday, it’s over and I’m moving on. Oh wait, I DO know why I ate so much, my Uncles from Brooklyn brought Italian Cookies. They are one of my all time favorites. Thankfully I do NOT live near a New York Bakery!
2. Marathon Relay Training is going well. I ran 5 times last week, 2 – 30 min runs, 2 at boot camp and my first 40 minutes! This week so far I ran one 30 minutes and a boot camp run this morning. I don’t think I’m going to hit my goal of 3 – 40 minute runs this week. I’m shooting for 1 tomorrow and 45 minutes on Saturday. So I guess I’m fine tuning my training schedule taking some of the advice I’ve been getting (all by the well helpful AND appreciated!). I’m still attempting to increase my time 5 minutes a week and I would like to get at least one 60 minute run in before the Marathon. Preferable early in the week. I’m also shooting for 4 weight training sessions and boot camp classes during the week AND I’m going to give Zumba a try this weekend! It’s a dance class. Now that I wrote all that out I have NO idea who has possessed this lazy body of mine! I feel like work-out-aholic girl! LOL but I really love it! It’s totally my outlet now.
3. I hinted in my 40 Min run post that I had to say goodbye to my “baby”. Well what I meant by that was WeightWatcchen is no longer online. If you try to go there you will be redirected here. In doing so I lost a lot of revenue and some blog posts that didn’t get transferred but it was being severely targeted by Hackers and I just couldn’t keep up anymore. I was sad to see it go but at the same time I really want to focus my energy here (most of my posts are here anyway) on GreenLiteBites and BlogToLose. I don’t have time to manage and debug an archived site. That being said Blogs.WeightWatchen.com is still live and people are still blogging. Please show them some support if you have time. Oh and a note to the hackers…. MY AUDIENCE IS NOT INTERESTED IN VIAGRA!!!
4. Speaking of focusing my energy I’m working on getting a new chat system in place on BlogToLose so you may see some weird stuff happening over there in the next few days. I am also uploading a new video as I type this so that should be posted by tonight along with the podcast and two additional sessions throughout the week and I’m still pumping out recipes ideas on GreenLiteBites, including a new produce pick, related recipe for okra and this weeks video of Beer Chicken in the Oven. I feel like a “well oiled machine!” But if you can’t tell, I’m loving every minute of it and I TRULY love what I do!
5. Things I’m working on… 2 new food finds (although they might be old), another quick lunch idea, a new blog contest and I’m still working on a cook book review!
6. Things I’m behind on, email, blog reading, my cook book and sleep. :~) In all seriousness I’m desperately behind blog reading, I’ve basically conceded to it this week. I just don’t know how I can keep up!

Ok, I think that’s all the updates I had. I guess I really did have so much to say. I’ll be back with a video later! Have a good “hump” day!

I think the husband was more exited then I was. The whole way home he was talking about it and making fun of me. He was joking about the stages of “celebrity”. Soon, he said, they’ll be asking for autograph. Ok, I said, we’ll see.

If that wasn’t enough craziness, remember that little guest post I mentioned. Well it was apparently picked up by Fox, Reuters and Sun-Times. How cool is that?!? It was so weird seeing my picture on those major news sites. All I did was answer a few questions! lol

The last craziness is iTunes. So I was working on the podcast thing and I’ve linked the audio files on the last two video posts but I finally got approval from iTunes. I have my own page! How cool is that? If you have iTunes you can use this link and it should launch it. If that doesn’t work you’ll be able to search for me in podcasts tomorrow (it takes a few days to get into the search results.) I don’t know why, but this cracks me up! Maybe because I use iTunes all the time.

Anyway, I had an OK day. I should have eaten more so I wasn’t so gosh darn hungry at dinner. I had that out of control feeling and I hate that. Ok, gotta get some sleep, have a long day tomorrow.
