Cardio Tuesday
Wow, Monday's are a piece of cake compared to coming back to work after an amazing 3-day weekend. I think we should have been allowed to just work a half day to sort ease back into things. Anyone else agree?
Needless to day, there was most definitely no morning workout. It was about 90 degrees by 11:15, so no lunchtime run either. I ended up doing part of of Cathe's Cardio Fusion though. I wasn't super excited about a step workout, so I compromised with this one as it includes a variety of step workouts, "blasts," and boot camp style exercises. I was only able to do about 45 minutes of it though as I had to get back to work. It was hard making myself stop, because I was actually having a lot of fun and time was flying by.
More Creamy Tofu
I was really indecisive about dinner. I feel a bit scattered to be honest. We leave Saturday morning for the beach, and I feel like I have so much to do to get ready: running errands, packing, cleaning, using up fresh produce, etc. I am making list after list. Just call me The List Queen.
Jason, however, was not indecisive about dinner. He requested the Rotini with Creamy Lemon Sauce for dinner (or lemon pasta as he calls it). I had half a package of silken tofu open from the potato salad, so this worked out well. Only problem...no rotini or penne. All I had was whole-wheat angel hair past, so dinner was Angel Hair with Creamy Lemon Sauce (original recipe here).
This is really a super simple recipe. You can add in or trade out veggies easily. I think asparagus would be really great and possibly roasted red bell peppers too.
I love making lists. :-) Just don't make any once you GET to the beach!
ReplyDeleteDinner looks yummy, as always!
I could not function without lists. They have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
ReplyDeleteWe are having the same weather here. I didn't hit the pavement today either. It was definitely an inside exercise day.
talk to you later,

Asparagus would definitely be perfect in that dish! And you were smart skipping the outdoor run today. Waaay too hot!
ReplyDeletei have such a hard time deciding on what to make or eat when i know theres so much that needs to get done and theres a lot happening. so for u to whip up such an incredible dish even tho theres a lot uve got to put together/organize- WELL DONE! i would totally add in broccoli too. but if i could have it like that id be one estatic/happy camper too :)
ReplyDeletei always worry about trying to use up food to before i go anywhere. you just have to get creative with the meals :)

Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg Thanks girl. Don't worry, I won't be making my crazy lists once we hit the road!
ReplyDeleteAlicia @ Vegan Epicurean I need to upgrade to a more digital/modern way of doing lists though! LOL. Thank goodness for exercise DVDs!
Megan @ The Oatmeal Diaries I think we've hit that time of year when a run it is going to have to be in the mornings. I won't complain too much though, b/c I love summer.
Kelly @ Healthy Living with Kelly Broccoli would be great or even string beans if you like those. I don't have either on hand right now though. I hate having to let the fridge go bare!
Jessica @ Living in the Kitchen, Gym and Mall LOL - I agree that creative is the name of the game! Some things we can take with us and use when we get there too at least.
Averie @ Loves Veggies and Yoga Ah but think about how much fun you're going to have once you get moved!
Erica @ Fashion Meets Food Glad I'm not the only one who has a list for a list ;-)
I agree with half a day Tuesday. I got on the elevator this morning and was day dreaming about how nice it is that we have a short week and realized I didn't get off on my floor... oops.
ReplyDeleteI vote for half days after holidays too! I have to admit that I'm pretty happy it's almost Thursday. I love how long weekends make the work week fly.
ReplyDeleteooo that dish looks awesome!
ReplyDeletei can see why your hubs suggested this! this looks so good! and i can see why you are scatterbrained-i am the same way when something is looming on the horizon :)
ReplyDeleteGelareh @ Nutritious Foodie Now that's some serious daydreaming! LOL
ReplyDeleteLindsay @ Pancakes N Pajamas I hear you on the almost Thursday part! Hump day got here sooo much faster didn't it?
Erin @ The Healthy Apron Thank you!
Kalli @ Fit and Forty Something He would love to be eating cream dishes all the time, the tofu works wonders for recreating a creamy dish. Glad I'm not the only one to get super scattered when there is something big coming up.
Wow! That recipe looks delicious!! This is my first time at your blog and I really like it so far, I can't wait to see more (:
ReplyDeleteAlycia @ Fit n Fresh Thanks so much for stopping by! Glad you like the blog. I look forward to reading yours.
