Thanks for all the well wishes for Tony yesterday! We appreciate it! And from your lips to God’s ear that we are done with hospitals for a while!
I had so much time yesterday before going to my dr. appt that when it got time to leave I never made anything for my breakfast! I seriously considered hitting up McDonald’s, but realized that I could pit a McMuffin together in less than 5 minutes, so that’s what I made. I used low sodium roast beef, and I have to tell you, with the reduced salt the meat tastes beefier to me. I ate it in the car on the way to the doctor.
My foot doctor appointment lasted all of about 8 minutes. He said my toe looks great, and to check back with him in a couple months if I get another ingrown toe nail – I guess there is a procedure they can do that would permanently prevent ingrown toenails from even forming – huh!
Work was buys right off the bat, so before I knew it, it was time to workout. Even though my gym bag was packed I decided it was so nice out I should take advantage of the weather and walk.
I walked for 40 minutes, and sure enough managed to burn my shoulders and back of my neck – dammit! I have new sunscreen in my bag now. Damn sensitive skin!
So while Tony is in the hospital, I become the sleep whisperer – he just feels comfortable to sleep knowing I am there. When I went home over the weekend to clean the fridge and freezer, I found that I had THREE bags of edamame! So while he slept, I searched for recipes using edamame. I found a recipe on Foodnetwork, but rewrote it to make it one serving.
[amd-zlrecipe-recipe:47]
At work I just heated it up in my container, and garnished with the cilantro. This was remarkably spicy flavorful. The mushroom soy just adds another layer of earthy flavor.
This whole bowl comes in at 454 calories, 11 fat, 52 carbs, 7 fiber and 35 whopping grams of protein. It also provides 214% of your daily Vitamin A, 70% of your Vitamin C, 32% of calcium and 27% of your daily Iron.
You can see the edamame sank to the bottom of the dish – I puffy heart this broth.
And Tony’s liver decided to speak up yesterday afternoon. That is one mean liver!!
I had every intention of grilling shrimp and octopus last night, but it got stormy! When I left my office it was 89 degrees – in 30 minutes the temperature dropped to 64!
So Plan B. Salads – Tony had his without steak, and yes, I have learned through Tony to love my steak black and blue.
After dinner Fitbit sent me this message:
A few trips up and down the stairs finishing up the laundry did the trick!
When I was walking I heard this song for the first time and loved it!

I have been beating myself up for eating at home while Tony was in the hospital, but I realize I am only human, and I can get back at it. Make it a great day!
I love doing salads in the summer 😀
You guys are too funny!
This salad looks amazing…putting it on my list to try.
I love/hate when our electronic devices send us little messages. I hate it because I feel like sometimes they are mocking me. I love it because it pushes me to go a little farther 🙂 The shrimp soup looks great and it has god healthy stats.
I am sure God would approve, but I think you meant good stats? 😛
:O ) :O) Yes, good stats!
We do an easy thing with edamame. Steam it and add sea salt and red chili flakes. SO good!
Love the addition of chili flakes! Turns out I like spicy shit. 😀
What the heck is mushroom soy sauce? Where can you get it? That soup looks awesome! Can’t wait to try it:)
Terri – I found it in a Japanese grocery store, but look for it next to the soy sauce in your regular grocery store – it just has a deep, less salty, earthy flavor for me. 😀
It looks like this:
Wowzers that soup looks good. I think I must have missed something b/c I just don’t get why Tony is telling you his liver thinks this or that – lol!
I’ll email you to fill you in V! 😀
I love that idea for breakfast!!!
Thanks Karli! Can’t wait to see you! I owe you an email 😀
I feel about mushrooms how you feel about onions. Ew!
And I can’t tell you the last time I had McDonald’s. I worked there for 7 years in high school and college and used to LIVE on their sausage mcmuffins!
The only time I go to McDonald’s anymore is if I am constipated. After eating one quarter pounder with cheese, I am sure to shit within 30 minutes! 😀
We’ve been making egg McMuffins for dinner about once a week and the kids LOVE it. They’ve never actually had one from McD’s but they’ve seen the commercials. My oldest has hers without meat, the younger one prefers low sodium turkey bacon on hers. Yum-O!
I just saw a recipe on ‘skinnytaste’ for edamame/zucchini/avocado salad and it looks AWESOME! If you’re not following her, go check it out.
My mom had that procedure done on her in-grown toenail ages ago. THey actually cut the whole edge of the nail off and apply some sort of acid to it. It heals back up but the nail will no longer grow there. Worked for her. Good luck!
Our weather changed in a matter of minutes here yesterday too. AC was on in the morning, and by evening we were grabbing socks and blankets!
I always forget about Gina at Skinny Taste – need to check it out again – and for the record, Tony can’t stand breakfast for dinner – when he traveled for work my daughter and I would make pancakes for dinner!
That shrimp dish looks fantastic! And I heart that you wrote that you puffy heart haha.
E – it’s the inner 14 year old in me – and the fact that my daughter in law who is in her early 20s says it too! 😀
I’m glad that Tony is doing better.
The food looks awesome. I am learning to eat my beef a little pinker, before it was WELL DONE..but everytime friends and I go out to Texas Roadhouse they fuss at me about ordering it that way so I tried Medium Well and loved it. Still do not think that I will ever be able to order it Medium Rare like one of my friends…ighh..
Way to Go on the steps. Whenever I am at work and my flex buzzes that I have 10,000 steps…I say woohoo 10,000 steps and then have to explain the flex to co-workers..lol..
Ha – love it Jamie! We had neighbors over one time and we bought these delicious steaks – and the neighbor asked if he could put his in the microwave. The MICROWAVE! He brought it back to the table, it was all shrunken and grey and he declared it the best steak – crazeballs!
