I also had a cup-o-coffee not pictured. I showered, cleaned up bfast dishes and got dressed for work. I am having a hard time adjusting my lunch meal around my 11PM shift. I don't know whether to eat before I leave or at my 3PM break or what! So even though I was still quite satisfied from bfast I forced down a snack to hold me or possibly replace my lunch. I had a big red delicious some Mrs. May's and a Cliff bar:
At work I was glad I had a snack because I didn't end up taking my break until 4:30PM! I had a couple cups of Mogicha Tea and I made the Perfect Non-fat Vanilla Latte! My first officially "good foam" added to 2 shots Espresso and a shot of sugar free vanilla-yummmm! Sorry no pic, I can't even bust out my phone at work so a camera as of now if off limits.I wore my HRM during my shift today to see how it compares with a day of sitting on my butt and working on set. This is the first test and here are the results:
Time: 5 hours
Calories: 900-whoop whoop!
I then walked to Albertson's to get ingredients for dinner. That burned 40 more calories! Can you believe 940 calories with no intended work out! I am curious to see what the totals are tomorrow where I will be wrapping the set I built on Saturday, and on Thursday where I will be in Traffic School-bummer I know. I think this is the ultimate experiment- variables included!
When I returned home I was pretty tired and needed some fuel for cooking so I snacked on this and read my new magazines. Eggplant Hummus with carrots and edemame:
So lately I have been craving an old time favorite of mine that I am surprised I haven't made sooner; Kale and Tofu with brown rice!!!! Kale and Tofu Recipe
It all starts with this:
I have not tried this pre-cut and pre-washed package of kale before but it is a huge time saver and I love the no clean up!
Ingredients:
Add tofu in one layer and add 1 tbsp of soy sauce
Brown Tofu on both sides over Med High heat
Mix water, pepper and 2 remaining tbsp of soy sauce. Add whole package of kale to pan on top of tofu. Pour water mix on top and quickly cover pan. Steam fry for 3-5 min until kale stems are soft. I like my kale like I like my broccoli- aldante!
Remove lid and toss gently
Serve with brown rice!
I have not tried this pre-cut and pre-washed package of kale before but it is a huge time saver and I love the no clean up!
Ingredients:- 1 package Kale or 1-2 bunches chopped
- 1 package Tofu
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Hot Sesame Oil or not hot
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 4-6 cloves garlic minced
The brands I use:
This is how I cut my tofu- 12 pieces 1 inch thick. The thinner you slice the tofu the quicker they will brown and they absorb more flavor. Because I use med-firm tofu it falls apart a bit and you can mix it like a hash, but you can use firm tofu and the kale and tofu will stay separated. It is your choice.
Add oils to pan and saute garlic

Remove lid and toss gentlyServe with brown rice! Tonight I am trying a new product from Costco; pre-cooked brown rice! All you do is microwave it! 
Here is my plate! I had 2 servings like this!!!! I could really eat the whole pot, but I will savor it and have some tomorrow too! I like to make a lot of this at once and heat it up or eat it cold!
