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.
