Ahh today is my last Monday at work! Everything is moving so fast! I still haven't started packing, although I did pick up a bunch of boxes and packing supplies. So, progress!
Breakfast
Something about winter makes me craved baked good, so it's been a long time since I've made overnight oats. I almost forgot how convenient and tasty it is!
Blueberry Mason Jar Overnight Oats
Protein
To keep things light, I went with tofu as my main protein. To keep it interesting, I cubed and baked the tofu following these instructions (minus the option marinating) from The Kitchn. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, this is definitely a big difference from normal raw tofu!
Sides
To go with the tofu I cooked a ton of veggies and some quinoa. It was my first time making beets, and it was really easy! I followed these instructions, also from The Kitchn to roast them. Along with the beets, I also roasted some eggplant and sweet potatoes, and boiled the broccoli since all my baking sheets were occupied.
Workouts
Still trying to hit that Run This Year goal so I'll be sticking to my 10K training schedule. Only 350.5 miles to go!

I have a few going away lunches and other festivities, so I kept this week's meal prep simple and light.
