Hickory Smoked Tofurkey

Tuesday’s eats were v. similar to that of Monday’s. I started with the banana oats, although this time I spruced them up with a little ground flax.

The variety of flaxseed I have currently is from Trader Joe’s. (Golden Roasted Flaxseeds). I don’t love the flavor/smell of the roasted seeds so I think next time I will stick to the raw seeds. But in general, I always buy whole seeds and grind them as needed in a coffee grinder, then store the grounds in an container in the fridge so they don’t lose their nutrients.

I ended up going to the doctor for my swollen knee. I didn’t get much advice that I didn’t already know. I need to take it easy and let the knee rest, take anti-inflammatory meds (more than I was taking already), and use warm moist heat on the swollen area for 10 DAYS!!  If it doesn’t clear up I’ll need to go to a specialist. I surely hope it just clears up. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Back at the office mid morning I had an apple for a snack. Fuji – my fav.

Home again, home again for lunch. I heated up the tofu and bok choy stir fry from last night and had some cantaloupe on the side.

I was craving something sweet and carby so I toasted a slice of WW toast and topped it with a little better n pb.

I haven’t had a slice of bread in such a long time. I just don’t really buy it anymore. I stole this slice from Iaac’s loaf- Totally hit the spot!!!

Mid afternoon I decided to have that same snack as yesterday – Friendship Whipped 1% cottage cheese with 1/4 cup of thawed blueberries. They were a little more thawed today and extra juicy- which was even better.

Right before quitting time I got hungry again so I had a large navel orange.

Isaac wanted to meet up after work at a craft store near by my gym. I met up with him and we walked to Starbuck’s for a quick coffee. I really wanted a frappuccino but decided to skip the sugar and got an unsweetened iced coffee with a bit of skim.

We sat outside and enjoyed the evening sun for a while, then I headed to the gym for an arm workout. For dinner I made salads with the fresh picked lettuce for Isaac and I, as well as, some butternut squash fries.

Tonight I tried out the new crisper pan that Isaac bought me from Macy’s. I’m pretty sure he got it specifically for butternut squash fries. It worked liked a charm. I didn’t have to use any spray, the fries didn’t stick and they came out perfect – a little crunchy on the outside and completely done on the inside.

All together now, with a bit of TJ’s goddess dressing on the salad.

Happy Hump Day. I can say that because it’s offically 12:13AM EST. I need to go to bed!
