Wow - I am still wiped out from this past weekend’s hiking extravaganza. Getting up for my weekly Monday morning flight up to Washington was a struggle to say the least, and it’s never seemed like so much effort to sit at a desk before…ha! I’ve definitely been relying on my meals to provide me with the energy that I’m so seriously lacking. So I’m sharing Tuesday’s eats and linking up!
Breakfast this morning was a big vegetable omelet! This is actually an older photo, but I forgot to snap one this morning. I didn’t have any canadian bacon this morning…but I did have lots and lots of coffee.
Lunch was an office hack salad. I picked up greens and some random marinated vegetables from Main Market Co-Op as well as their killer curried chicken salad. It has chicken, apples, raisins, and celery. I e-mailed them once for their recipe to recreate it, and they sent it to me to make in bulk with like 20 chickens. One day I’ll see if I can downsize from that kind of gross sounding quantity. I ate some OlyKraut sauerkraut on the side, and had a half of a cranberry kombucha and some iced tea.
I dragged myself to barre class and had to be adjusted an embarrassing amount of times. I was just so stiff! And the arthritis in my wrist has been acting up a bit, so any wrist-supported exercise (i.e. side plank, push ups) were tough. After three months off of gluten and dairy and successfully taming my joint inflammation, I started eating some dairy again but I think I might cut it back out, since I’m having some flare-ups again. I’ll keep you posted!
Dinner with a teammate was delicious - we went to Wild Sage - one of my favorite spots in Spokane. We shared these foraged mushrooms cooked in browned butter, and then I had the copper river salmon with lots of vegetables. It had kind of a funky vinegary sauce on the bottom, but the medium-rare salmon was delicious. I am loving all of the salmon these days!
Then it was back to the hotel room for some Orange is the New Black and lots and lots of recovery sleep.
Thanks for stopping by! 
Doing a workout like barre when you’re already sore is TOUGH! Looks like a great day of eats, though!
It felt really good to move around, but it was tough!
ahhhh don’t you hate it when you find something that’s been working then you reintroduce one thing and bam…inflammation? Fingers crossed it isn’t serious!
Chicken salad is one of life’s greatest things ever. Okay fine THE greatest thing ever.
Happy WIAW thanks for linking up!

I am a huge fan of chicken and tuna salads…I could eat them every day! Thanks for hosting the link up!
The salmon and mushroom dish both look delicious, it’s making me hungry!

Haha! That’s the problem with looking at food blogs when you’re hungry..
Hi Dani! Yummy eats. Nice work getting to barre, even if you weren’t feeling top notch when you were there. I’ve never eliminated any food groups before, but I know it’s a smart way to figure out how to fix some problems. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, Ashley! I’m hoping to start eating gluten and dairy soon - I miss it! 🙂
Good for you for putting the energy out there and going to Barre class! That is not easy when you are sore. Your day of eats looks lovely. Hope you start to feel better soon!

Hahha it was!! I just wish the salad underneath was better…
I love all of the fermented foods you had with your lunch! I’ve been trying to think of recipes with sauerkraut recently because it’s such a great source of probiotics.
And I have yet to see OITNB but I’ve heard it’s great. I need to get Netflix!

I will happily eat sauerkraut on it’s own all day every day! I tried making it by myself and failed..so I’ll have to try again. Ha!
I can always tell when I’ve gone too long without salmon in my life because I’m seriously craving it after seeing your picture!
I eat so much salmon when I’m on the road in Washington! It’s the best!
