Getting out of bed to go back to work really sucks 🙂 I ended up sleeping late and was running behind, as per usual for a work day. For breakfast, I had a bowl of clifford crunch cereal mixed with cinnamon start cereal topped a banana, some almonds and vanilla hemp milk. I am really starting to like the hemp milk, I still like the hazelnut milk better but since the hemp is more readily available, I think it will be my new go to milk.

I arrived at work to find an overflowing inbox, both email and desktop, and a blinking voicemail light. And to my dismay, within a half hour of driving through the gate into the land of grass, my head was blaring. I called my doc and told him everything I had done both holistically and medically and he wants me to take zyrtec d which I will start tomorrow. I had hoped that I could cure myself without medication but at this point it seems like it is meds or my job. What is a girl to do?
Around 11, I decided to have a snack because I had no idea when lunch would be. I ate a hand full of baked tofu triangles and a small bowl of watermelon. I must thank the lovely Gliding Calm because I always see here eating baked tofu as a snack which I had never thought of. After today, I am sure this will be a go to snack from here on out. I just baked it with a little sea salt but plan to experiment with different glazes and marinades.

Around 12:30, The Pro arrived with lunch. Since the club was still closed, he went to Red Robin and picked up salads. I got a cobb salad with honey poppyseed dressing; it was pretty tasty and very filling. And on a side note, I did eat the blue cheese because at this point, I think I have decided that cutting dairy isn’t the solution I was hoping for.

The afternoon buzzed by with lots to do and I was able to leave on time. Once I made it home, I made one of our old favorites for dinner, BBQ Tofu Pizza which is an idea I got from Monica many many moons ago. For the crust I used whole wheat pita and then topped it with BBQ sauce, onions sauteed in earth balance and balsamic vinegar, baked tofu triangles and vegan “cheese”. I was a little nervous about the “cheese” but it turned out great. On the side, the dear husband made salads with lettuce, tomato, cukes, oil and vinegar. It was a nice dinner and I am looking forward to making it again soon.

After dinner, I did my 15 minute clean up and then relaxed with my book. Though I prefer to be on vacation, it was nice to be back to normal again.
QOTD: What are you favorite pizza toppings? My all time favorite is pepperoni and cheese but I also like goat cheese with tomatoes and basil and the pizza we made last night.

What I ate Yesterday 
i hope the meds work for you – i understand that it’s not an option you prefer, but as you say, if it gets too much in the way of life, i guess you have little choice..
your pizza sounds like a great idea!! i used to love BBQ sauce pizzas, and i’m sure i still do, just haven’t had any in too long. i love these toppings on pizza, and i also love artichokes – delicious! also, pesto makes a great pizza base.
that pizza looks heavenly! my favorite toppings are zucchini, squash, sundried tomatoes, olives and feta… mmm!!!
i’ve never tried hemp milk, but i’m thinking of giving it a whirl sometime soon…
hope you have a wonderful day!
Tofu as a snack…never heard of it but it makes sense…you get get protein and it’s filling. I may have to try. 🙂
I love pesto and green olives and mushrooms. But really, there isn’t a pizza that I met and didn’t like. hehe.
Ah yes, it’ll take some readjusting, going back to work after a lovely vacation 🙂 Hang in there!!
My favorite pizza toppings = vegetables, galore!!
Hi Christie!
That pizza looks so yummy! To answer your questions, I did weight watchers on my own because I was never “heavy” enough to go to the meetings. My mother in law gave me all her material and I followed that to a tee. My weight has been steady now for 2 years, but I still track ALL my points to keep it that way. I haven’t ever posted on a Weight Wathers site, but I do read them for food ideas. I am really enjoying your blog….thanks! And thanks for checking mine out, too!
Thanks for getting back to me, Krista. I did weightwatchers for a long time before I gave up dieting so I was just wondering. I also used to post on the boards alot.
Ugh I know that feeling of waking up on the first post-vacation morning–always the hardest day to get out of bed!
And yikes~I hope those meds helped!
Wow~I actually thought that was pepperoni pizza before I read the captions! 😀 Looks sooo good~
Favorite pizza topping has to be pineapple, chicken/salmon–But nothing beats classics like pepperoni & cheese!
you have a suprise coming in the mail!! 😀
Wooohoooo! I love surprises, especially when they involve food 🙂
I HATE the blinking red light!
I love fresh tomato and mozz. I recently had a good pizza with pears and a balsamic glaze and it was delish!
Haha – the first line of your post couldn’t be more true 🙂
That BBQ tofu pizza looks great. One of my favorite pizzas is BBQ chicken, so I’m sure that this would taste equally amazing.
One time I tried a pizza that had pear and gorgonzola cheese. It was incredible! California Pizza Kitchen has great variations! Have you ever been there?
No, I haven’t. We have one close to work, as much as I like pizza, I need to check it out.
Now that’s a question I can answer!
GREEN PEPPERS!
Simple I know, but it’s my all time favorite. :~)
Glad you found me so that I can find you. :~P
That pizza looks good. I like roasted peppers and mushrooms for pizza toppings.
I LURVE the Waldorf pizza (from Hot Lips in PDX): cheese, blue cheese, apples, walnuts. No sauce. BOMB-BAY!
I am so sorry about your physical symptoms! What a pain!
