Coconut Squash Rice, Blackened Tofu and Jerk Zuchini

Today when I got home I decided to do a bodyweight workout instead of trying to rush over to the apartment gym, stretch, workout, stretch and get home.... it just seemed easier and more enjoyable. Anyways, I did the following workout today:

3 Rounds:
25 air squats
40 mountain climbers
30 sit-ups
20 walking lunges with 10lb weights
10 push-ups/10 tri-dips
10 sprawls.

I finished with a 1.8 mile walk *at least that is the google map distance from my place to the stoplight at the end of the road. It's hilly, with intermittent shade/sun- it's a good, quick path and doesn't leave me the excuse that I don't have time, since it's so short.

I had a bite of chocolate avocado and banana pudding (my new favorite thing ever!) and then ran some quick errands. The best part of the day, though, was coming home to my delicious leftovers from yesterday: coconut and squash rice with blackened tofu from Appetite for Reduction (trying to cook as many recipes out of here this summer - love it so far!). I also sauteed up some sliced zucchini in jerk spices

Jerk Zucchini
2 medium/small zucchinis, sliced however, as long as it's thinly sliced
1 tsp coconut oil (or any other oil)

Spices:
3-4 cloves minced garlic
2 tbs minced fresh ginger
1 small palm (1 tbs or so) onion powder
sprinkling of salt
1/4-1/2 tsp nutmeg and cinnamon (I used roasted cinnamon since it's what I had)
2 tsp or so of dried thyme
2 tsp or so black pepper
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1-2 tsp sugar

Directions:
1. Slice the zucchini thinly
2. Heat oil in the pan and add ginger and garlic- fry for 1-2 minutes, making sure not to burn
3. Add spices and fry for 30 secs to 1 minute.
4. Add a splash of water and zucchini. Saute until zucchini is soft, adding more water if necessary.

This was a meal that I definitely want to make again! The recipe called for butternut squash and I only had acorn, so next time I might follow the recipe to see if I like butternut better in the rice.

I am off to end the evening with some Battlestar Galactica. I am trying really, really hard to not turn out like this:
