Hootennany

I may or may not have had another dessert last night . . .

But comeon, what else are you going to do when there’s only that much sunflower seed butter left in the jar!

It’s even better topped with a few more chocolate chips and a spoonful of vanilla bean soy ice cream

I could NOT sleep last night! I had a lot on my mind and it was buzzing until after 2:30 AM. Needless to say I gave myself a break on the run (I was frustrated about it, though—it was a PERFECT morning for it!), and opted for 20 minutes of self-paced yoga instead. It hit the spot and made my morning, along with the coffee pot:

That little light is a beacon of hope every morning.

Breakfast featured a sliced gala apple, leftover tofu scramble, and 1/2 c. Udi’s granola with unsweetened soymilk (I love my little 7 oz corningware bowls; they’re the perfect size for a small portion of cereal or ice cream!):

I decided halfway through breakfast that I didn’t want the rest of my tofu scramble, so back in the fridge it went:

Instead, I opted for a soymilk refill:

For lunch, I packed the second portion of my tempeh salad, my leftover beets from dinner last night, and ~1/2 c. of “ghoulash”:

And for a snack I packed another gala apple (my last) and a mix of 7 prunes and 3 tbsp. almond slivers:

I broke out the snack around 11:30 AM and lunch at 12:45, and took a brisk 2-mile walk an hour or so later. I also did something I haven’t done in awhile: I chewed a pack of gum (it was a small pack, only 5 pieces, but still not a good habit!). It made my stomach feel nasty and I remembered why I stay away from fake sugar. Blech.

After work I went to WW and was down 1.4!!

And after WW I went out with a couple friends to an awesome Thai restaurant, Wantana. I didn’t have a camera, but found a picture on google that approximates my basil tofu and eggplant with brown rice (I asked for no fish sauce, extra spices, and added ginger):

I ate all the tofu and veggies and around 1/2 c. of the rice, and the 3 of us split a veggie dumpling appetizer (I had 2 bite-sized pieces) and a bottle of white wine (which we brought to the restaurant with us).

Afterward we went to the monthly hootenany (!!) at a bar called Buttermilk. It was my first time going, and it was a riot! We danced for hours, sang, and had such a good time. I had a seltzer (to calm down the spices in my stomach) and then a small Old Fashioned. Then I walked home. My walks today totaled around 4 miles.

It is SLEEP TIME! Hope you had a great night. Get ready for Friday!!!
