Happy Thursday everyone!

It’s been one of those “long” short weeks…you know what I mean?  You would think because my work week was Wednesday to Friday this week – it would be smooth sailing – but people like to keep me on my toes! 

To burn off some steam – I started the morning with a run with Lando.  We just did a quick mile and a half, but it was perfect.  It wasn’t too cold out, and there was a very light mist/drizzle which felt really refreshing and invigorating!  Despite the fact that I was up and out the door earlier than usual – I forgot my oatmeal!    Luckily, one of the girls I work with was nice enough to share an extra packet of her’s with me!  I’d never had this kind before:

It was pretty good – it definitely tasted more “oatey” – is that a word?    It had bigger chunks than usual, but I liked it!  I mixed in some pumpkin for added delicious-ness! 

Also – an update on last night since I didn’t post dinner – I had some “bowling alley” food a-la-Allison!    I brought some carrots, a z-bar and a diet coke!

The fries they have their look so good – but I used some self control after all my splurges on “vacation”.

EDITED TO ADD:

When I got home, I decided to finally try and make the tofu I had sitting in the fridge.  I used Caitlin’s directions on how to cook it, and made up my own spices.  I like spicy, savory flavors more than anything sweet, so I used a combination of these spices:

• chili powder
• paprika
• red pepper flakes
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• onion salt
• salt & pepper

It worked out pretty well!   The only thing I would change, is that I would cut the pieces smaller, and bake them for longer, on a higher heat.  I like stuff pretty crispy!  Here’s my plate (not the most photogenic – I know):

I’m going to keep lunch going on here, rather than starting another post.  For lunch I had the take 2 of the salad from yesterday.  Today, since I have a minute, I’ll tell you what I put in there!

• spinach and iceberg
• turkey
• tomato
• red onion
• orange, green, and red bell pepper
• and I stole some banana peppers from the caf line

I have a Z-Bar waiting for me in my desk, as well as an apple.

Can’t wait for the Office tonight!
