Stretch A Turkey

Wouldn’t it be great if Thanksgiving was every single day for the rest of time?  I think it would be.  In honour of that, I ate lots of leftover turkey.  It’s gone now… but it was delish while it was around.

It didn’t make any oat appearances, though.

I Eat

Another bowl of Thanksgiving oats 1/2 c. oat bran + 1 c. water + 1/2 c. almond milk + 1/2 c. pumpkin + pumpkin pie spice + honey + cranberry sauce + chewy granola crumbles + almond butter.

Another bowl of pumpkin oats this morning, but with raspberries and the largest blob of almond butter I could scoop.

… in my new Crate & Barrel bowl + spoon.  Yippee!

I don’t photograph my lunches anymore, but I had a pretty Thanksgiving salad (if you put turkey in something, you can call it “Thanksgiving _____.”  Just because.).

… yes, raspberries were on sale.

No turkey in this supper, sadly.

Mom’s spaghetti sauce + rice noodles + broccoli.

And tonight, Thanksgiving stir fry.

Buried brown rice + zucchini + yellow pepper + broccoli + mushrooms + onion + carrot + turkey + garlic salt + soy sauce + ginger + garlic + lemon juice.

And leftovers for lunch. 

I Move

Yesterday, it was back to hot yoga.  I hadn’t been in two weeks and really didn’t have much energy, so I couldn’t hold my poses for as long or go into them as far, but today I woke up feeling sore.  Guess I worked out some muscles!

I had packed my gym bag to go right after work.  I stepped outside, saw how beautiful it was outside, and knew the last place I wanted to be was the dark basement gym.  So instead, I walked home from work and then biked to and from home church.  My heart was a pumpin’!  It felt great to breathe in cold air and bike fast.  Way better than the gym.

And tomorrow is Friday!  I have a great weekend coming up – hope you do too!

    My mom used to make great savory crepes with leftover chicken and turkey. Leftover, but not from Thanksgiving, we don’t have one :D She mixed shredded turkey with an egg, fresh parsley, spices, maybe a bit of smoked ham, and some cream. She then filled crepes, and fried them. I know, tons of fat, calories, etc. But tons of mhmhmhmhs too :)
    I hope you have a great weekend!
