hey there... what are some of your favorite ways to prepare tofu? I really haven't ever used it until this past week. I have broiled it in a marinade w/ mushrooms, and i also crumbled it and mixed it with tomato sauce and put it on top of french bread (pizza!)... but i'm kind of at a loss - i was wondering since you are vegetarian and all if you had some easy and delicious ideas for me =)

btw... i hope your cat is feeling better!!!! I can empathize with your very close relationship with your kitty... i've been living on my own this year, and i would really love to have an animal to be my family here - unfortunately, no pets allowed =(
 
Aw, thanks for the good wishes. It's too bad you can't have a pet-living on my own was so much harder before I got my cat. He's the best!

There are lots of ways to make tofu and how good it comes out really depends on what you cook it with. My favorite thing to do is saute' it with vegetables in soy sauce. I really like to buy already made meat subsitutes (Morningstar Farms, Gardenburger, and Yves Good Deli are my favorites.) Unfortunately I'm not an advanced tofu chef since I'm lazy and there are so many good meat subsitutes already prepared that I have all the time, but here are some good sites:





Let me know if you hit the jackpot!
 
Im glad your kitty cat is feeling better. Gee it looks like you are doing so well good on you. Your food diary looks really yummy, lots and lots of good choices.
 
Breakfast:
English muffin (whole wheat) with tbsp all fruit jam and tbsp light cream cheese (120+45+60)

My cat has a fever and had to go back to the hospital. :(
 
Thanks for the good wishes everyone. The doctor is keeping him tonight. He still has a fever and the doctor says he seems to be in a lot of pain. Hopefully I can get him tomorrow. I really miss him. I wish I could just take the pain for him. Now I know what it's like to be the parent of a sick or hurt child.

Despite the horrible past few days I am sticking to my diet and I'm proud of myself for that. Earlier I had a snack of 100 calorie Light Fat Free yogurt and when I got home I had some apple slices with 2 tbsp of peanut butter, which would have been around 280 cals. I have class all day tomorrow and then hopefully I can get my cat. If I can't get him I'll go to the gym after class, but if I can get him I'm going to stay at home with him to make sure he's okay. I really appreciate everyone's kind words, you guys have been great.
 
I really hope your cat will get better. There is nothing worse than your child (or cat) being sick and in pain. You just wish you could take it away. That's the doc's job. They'll have him fixed up b4 you know it. It will take time though.
We had some troubles with our cat. after 3 $400 trips to the doc, he's doing fine.

Very proud of you keeping it together and doing great with the diet. You are a very strong willed iindividual.
 
Thank's Christina, I'm definitely doing the best I can. And I'm glad your cat is okay-they're such wonderful little companions.

The vet said that my boy is doing good and that I should be able to bring him home tonight. I'm supposed to go to the gym after school, but I want to get him as soon as I can, so we'll see. Maybe I'll double up on the gym tomorrow.

I had a good lunch:
Whole wheat veggie wrap with honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, black olives, pickles, green peppers, and onions, oil and vinegar and salt and pepper (I'll guess around 300 cals...does that sound right?)
Small bag of baked chips (130) and I didn't even eat them all, I gave some to my best friend and her boyfriend
Diet Cherry Pepsi.

I love my new way of eating. Even though my mind still wants junk sometimes I'm proud of myself for eating healthy and making good choices. I truly enjoy the foods I eat and I feel good about it. I had a little panic attack this morning because I had to videotape myself for a sign language video and when I was watching the tape I was horrified with how I looked, but I know that the way I look now isn't permanant and at least I'm in the process of doing something about it. It's a better feeling than when you see a bad picture of yourself or a video or something and then try to make yourself feel better with food.

Also, my best friend got these "snowball" snack cakes from the vending machine this morning, which is like a chocolate muffin filled with cream and covered with coconut flakes. 420 calories for the package, which I figured for me would be a Lean Cuisine meal, a piece of fruit, and a salad. Isn't that crazy! I look at everything like that now.

I can't wait to bring my Gideon home!
 
I did go to the gym and I'm waiting for the vet to call me and tell me I can go get my cat. I'm so anxious, I might just go down there and demand him back! I was going to skip the gym, but I decided I better go and I did 30 minutes on the gazelle doing intervals from resistance at 1 to 6 every 2 minutes. It was a good workout, I didn't do weights or anything else because I wanted to get home and to be ready to go when the vet calls.

Here's my dinner plan:
Lean Cuisine Cheese Pizza (330)
Big salad with tomato, cucumber, carrots, oil and vinegar, and seasonings (100)
 
My cat still has a fever and they won't let me take him home. He might have to have more surgery.

I had a WW ice cream for dessert. 130 cals.
 
Oh fuunky im so sorry you couldn’t bring him home today I hope he gets better soon. Big hugs
