I arrived home at 4:00 today and despite the gorgeous weather, I had zero urge to go exercise. So I decided I wouldn’t go. I talked to my sister, checked emails and blogs, had a snack of a blueberry Stonyfield yogurt, GL Crunch, and H2H….and did my Organic homework…..
…..and as soon as I closed my textbook, it came: the urge to get out of the house and into the sunshine and get out some energy beat down by chemistry! I wonder if the snack is what created the spark of energy in my blood?
So I suited up, put on my helmet and biked away - at 6pm! (The husband wasn’t due until 7:30). I decided to bike the longer way to the gym to maximize my time outside. I wish I could have gone running, but I need to alternate running and machines because of my foot (and the yogurt was sitting heavy in my stomach). So I did a quick 20 minutes on the Stairmaster to work up a nice dripping sweat, did 2 sets of upper body weights, and headed home. It felt so good!
Once home I put dinner in the oven and showered.
We had baked tofu covered in coriander, allspice, maple mustard, garlic powder and S+P. We put it in with the sweet potatoes (coming up!) and only baked it for about 35 minutes, so it wasn’t quite crispy yet, but we were hungry and didn’t care.
We topped with with a tiny avocado slice and a drop of hot sauce for more flava.
Plus fantastic baked sweet potato rounds? Fries? Slabs? They were perfect.
And some blanched snap peas with a little Annie’s Maple Ginger dressing on top -
I had a leftover Coconut Cupcake for dessert. And I ate the top off the other one 
Organic, bed, here I come!
