100 Miles Per Hour

March 14, 2011 by Julie 33 Comments

Busy bee, Julie! That’s what I’ve felt like today! I feel like Mondays are usually a little slower and my office tends to ease into the week, but not today. I’ve been working at 100 miles per hour since I sat down.

Not one to work on an empty stomach, I made sure to take a brief break to eat lunch.

Monday Lunch

Today’s mid day meal included a coconut curry tempeh sandwich on a whole wheat hot dog bun served with carrots and a cup of Greek yogurt sweetened with honey.

The Main Meal

Tempeh

It was a satisfying combination and some great brain food.

Back to work…

Hoping to post my new playlist tonight!

    Did you like that coconut curry tempeh??? I actually tried it a week or two ago and it almost made me throw up! i don’t know if maybe the package was bad or something bc I checked the date, and I’m not usually that picky!

    The tempeh looks really good?! Did you buy the coconut curry type? I’ve never had tempeh but have wanted to try it for sure 🙂

    My busiest day is probably Friday…people in my office decide they love to give projects on that day!

    Coconut curry tempeh looks delicious! Mondays are usually a busy day for me, too, although this whole week will be one huge whirlwind of busyness at work. Good luck catching up and getting everything done! I can’t wait to check out your new rockin’ playlist–I need some new tunes!

    That tempeh sounds delicious! My busiest day over the last 3 weeks was EVERY DAY! But now things are a bit more quiet. I’m grateful because I can really feel that my body needs a break (mentally and physically!) I hope you have a great (and productive) afternoon! 🙂

    My busiest day is actually Tuesday and Friday — seems many people in my office take off Mondays (or work from home) so everything becomes urgent on Tuesdays when they are back to work. I don’t mind, it makes Mondays less stressful!

    Mondays have the most meetings and I LOVE it. The busier the merrier 🙂

    Coconut tempeh? Nom!

    Oh goodness that looks delicious. Have you tried Greek God’s yogurt, with honey??

    I seriously don’t buy it anymore because I’m afraid of eating the ENTIRE thing. Especially paired with granola and raspberries. Disaster.

    Fridays and Saturdays tend to be the most busy days at the hotel. Especially once the spring/summer hits.

    I’m so impressed by your ability to use up your whole wheat hot dog rolls from your cookout. 😉 I need to learn that skill!

    Monday-Thursday! I guess maybe Mondays are a little busier than the rest, but it seems I am always going full speed until Friday. For whatever reason, things seem to wind down by then. Thank goodness!

    Definitely Mondays. I always have a ton of emails and things to catch up on here at work. But it’s good, because by the time I can look up and take a breather, it’s already half way through Tuesday!

    Your lunch looks so good! You alway find away to get in so many veggies. I always try to add more veggies in my lunch just like you! I’ve even started cutting up a bell pepper to eat with lunch! Its hard since I am such a sweet eater.

    I keep thinking about trying tempeh, but it looks so gross in the package. It looks too much like meat ewww.
