Hiccups

I can’t stop hiccupping! Matt must have put something in my lunch 😉

After procrastinating and moping around about this freezing cold, raining day, we finally got up the energy to make it to the gym. Thankfully it had stopped raining and we biked (not sure I would have if I’d been solo!).

But since it was 1pm before we left and I was getting a little hungry (but remember I had a late breakfast around 9:30) I had a handful of Cranberry Pecans and Dried Raspberries to tide me over. Worked like a charm to get me through a 3pm lunch.

After our 15 minute bike commute, I spent 30 minutes on the ET, followed by a nice upper body lifting session. For ONCE I enjoyed lifting and would have stayed longer if I didn’t start getting hungry!

Lunch today was a joint effort: Lemon Dill Tempeh Salad.

Step 1: Lots of chopped veggies (bell pepper, cuc, carrot, jalapeno)

Step 2: 1/2 a block of grain tempeh, chopped

Step 3: 1 heaping tbsp mayo, juice of half a lemon, 1 tsp dill, salt + pepper

IMG_5999 (1024x768) IMG_6000 (1024x768) IMG_6001 (1024x768)

It reminded me of potato salad! The tempeh was a bit hidden, but it was still delicious.

I ate my portion with a few corn chips –

And had a giant leftover grilled veggie, avocado + feta salad to complete the meal –

    I think the second best way to eat tempeh is hidden. The best way is not to eat it all. I just don’t dig the birdseed/suet/feet block, but I’m glad you like it!

    Creative salad! Sorry about the hiccups.

    My oatmeal + fruit + tea breakfasts usually last me until about 12:30 or 1:00 – never 3! Maybe it’s the toppings; I usually eat my oats plain. Different strokes for different folks.

    Haha blogging = the cure for hiccups? Who knew 🙂

    Great Gather post…it’s so sad when our body image or weight affects our personality. I know I’ve been a little less “me” since my recent weight gain (of maybe 5 lbs) and I want to get back to the “old” me who doesn’t stress about body issues all the time.

    I absolutely love your article. It was some amazingly creative thinking and writing. I reread it and do agree with what you say.
    So many times I concerntrate on how fat my thighs are or how I weigh ~4 lbs more than what I want and forget how thin my waist is or how lucky I am to be healthy, esp considering that I put in a lot of hard work to get there.
    That does not mean that I won’t work towards stronger thighs. I will still do my 100 squats and lunges but I just need to remember that it is not the end of the world.
    We need to love our body – it is the only one we have.

    Love the tempeh salad idea… looks amazing! Where is the tempeh located in a grocery store? I’ve tried looking for it and couldn’t find it!

    Another quick question… what can I do with tahini? I bought some to make hummus, but since it only called for 1 tbsp, I’m left with a huge full jar and no idea what else to use it for!
    Thanks!

    I’ve just been reading your about page and it really hit home. Your before photos are how I look at the moment and your after photos are how I want to look. I seriously didn’t think I could do it (I used to be 180lbs so I’m a lot slimmer than I used to be but still not happy) but now I think I can. You actually make me want to get off my bum and do something about my weight! Thank you so much.

    I’m probably about 10-15 lbs heavier than my ideal weight, which I define as the weight that looks best for my body frame. Who doesn’t want to be thinner, right? But I have never have been able to maintain this ideal weight for more than a year at at time. In the meantime, I keep plodding along with my running and attempts at making wise food selections. Even with the 10-15lb of extra flub, I’m happy and know that this body will carry me through races and other endurance sports. It is possible to carry a little excess baggage and be truly happy too.

    Kath- great Gather article. You have an insight that I believe is so important.I think women often try to meet this societal or self-imposed expectation of a body type that doesn’t even necessarily exist. I wish you could bottle up the sentiment from your article and sell it! Thanks for some great thought-provoking reading!

    Heather ,
    It’s near the tofu, which is in the alternative meats section, which is near the mushrooms at my store.

    Katy ,
    Thank you! I never in a million years thought I had that much weight to lose, much less that it would ever come off, so do know that it’s possible! Best of luck.

    Jennifer ,
    The sweet potato ones are by far the best!!!

    Adi ,
    You’d be surprised how much a few nuts can do.

    Hi Kath – love the tempeh salad idea. Do you use it straight out of the package (raw) or do you marinate and/or steam first?? i have only made it pan fried or baked.
    You always provide us with amazing food ideas – thanks 🙂
