back on the bike

Ok.  I have been slacking FAR too much in the work out department.  I have a freakin’ half marathon in a week!  What am I doing to myself?  I should be training, not watching the View working and pretending that’s a good enough reason to skip the gym.

I woke up to sun, FINALLY.  Made some java.  Frothed some leche.

Voila!

Prepare to see an endless supply of bridal mags in the background of all my pics now…my future mother-in-law got me a year’s subscription 🙂

I was researching wedding locations all morning, and totally lost track of time.  For a late brunch/lunch I had home-made hummus on toasted english muffins.

Oh man.  Hummus is like a drug.  Yeah K?

And don’t even get me started on english muffins!  Mmm…so amazing…like warm, fluffy magical carby heaven.  In the words of Carrie Bradshaw “me likey.”

I have been really craving seitan around the clock lately, so later on I made some “eggs” and seitan on the grill.  Protein, yes please.

For those who asked Qs on my last post about the BBQ seitan, it’s definitely a must-try…just lather on the ‘cue sauce before cooking the seitan.  It’s hard to mess it up.

Anyways, the home-made hummus was calling my name (again) and we all know I cannot resist her charms…so I had a teensy bit more.

Mmmm…

Coconut date rolls for lunch dessert.

 

For dinner I decided to get in my daily greens. 

Challenge schmallenge.  Bring it.

I threw a few fists of spinach in the skillet along with some broccoli, cauliflower, green peas, and some soy sauce. 

In another pot I threw together soy noodles, soy-tein (texturized protein) and spinach.

I loved this meal SO much I took about 500 pictures…

Check out all the goodness that is in this salad…I want this every night now for the rest of my life. 

There is just so much variety, I couldn’t get enough.  Each bite had a new flavor because of all the different ingredients.  Eat your heart out salad challenge!

Mmmmm.  Food porn.

Think I liked it or something…here’s the second helping!  HA!!

You would think I’d be full after all that food, but you’d be wrong!

NEW PRODUCT ALERT!!!

I had no idea what to expect.  I guess these are the random kinds of things you come home with when you go grocery shopping while PMSing.  Naturally, like the experienced female that I am, I avoided the frozen dessert aisle like the plague…but, next thing I know I am face to face with chocolate IN THE TOFU SECTION and in a moment of weakness, I pounced.

**not too shabby huh?

Ok, it looks a little weird, I’ll admit.  BUT – holy freakin’ YUM!

It’s like the best pudding EVER.  I had 4/5 of the container plain…and could barely restrain myself from polishing the entire thing off.  Today’s meals are clearly sending me through the roof.  Try this immediately, you won’t regret it.  In fact, it could be your next obsession (it will likely be mine).
