kadyb week2 summary
As I mentioned last posting, adding an alternate goal really gave me a boost this week. I managed to meet 3 goals every day, like this:
Tuesday: walked, ate wheat-free, got my veggies (13 pts)
Wednesday: packed lunch to work, walked, ate wheat-free, got my veggies (13 pts)
Thursday: packed lunch, ate wheat-free, got my veggies (13 pts)
Friday: walked, ate wheat-free, got my veggies (13 pts)
Saturday: walked, ate wheat-free, got my veggies (13 pts)
Sunday: walked, ate wheat-free, got my veggies (13 pts)
Monday: packed lunch to work, walked, got my veggies (13 pts)
Wednesday was the day that I was really tempted with that mid-afternoon snickerdoodle but resisted because I'd written down the wheat-free goal and I didn't want to disappoint myself. Wow! The power of goal-setting!
I noticed last week that Sunday was a challenge for veggie-eating, so this past Sunday, I made a point of having some at lunch time as well as dinner. That worked well.
Since I'm doing OK with getting those veggies in, I'm raising the ante for this week and going with 4-5 servings of veggies.
Total for the week: 91 for my goals, 5 for my recipe, 15 for posting 3 times = 111
PS. You all are doing great - thanks for sharing all your challenges and progress!! It's an inspiration to read what you've been doing. Helps me realize I can do better!

Kaje's Healthy Recipe - Garlic Tuna Pasta with Asparagus
I found this recipe for Garlic Tuna Pasta with Asparagus on My Kitchen Cafe. I made it last night and it was mostly a hit. Next time I'll make it with cubed chicken and maybe a little less garlic, but overall it was really good!
This is copied directly over from My Kitchen Cafe:
Garlic Tuna Pasta with Asparagus
serves 4-6
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 medium cloves garlic , minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (this doesn't add spice - just a nice enhancement of flavor)
3/4 cup chicken stock or broth
2 (6-ounce) cans solid white tuna in water (2 cans), drained well
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon butter, cut into fourths
1 bunch asparagus (or substitute broccoli, peas, etc.), tough ends trimmed and stalks cut into thirds, lightly steamed (I steamed mine for 3-4 minutes until just barely crisp tender)
1 pound penne pasta or other similar tube pasta
Cook pasta according to package directions (or however you like it).
Meanwhile, in a 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant (but not browned!), about 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add tuna, slightly breaking up chunks with your fingers, and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until tuna is heated through, about 1 minute.
Toss tuna mixture, parsley, butter, asparagus (or other vegetable), and cooked pasta together in the skillet. Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

kadyb 6/5/2009
Progress this week: things are going much better than last week. Since I added my alternate goal Tuesday, I've been able to get at least 3 goals done every day. Woohoo! I'm really glad I added the goal about being wheat-free. I'm really sensitive to wheat, but every once in awhile I think it would be OK to have a little. Before I know it, I end up eating some every day, and within days, my digestive system is in rebellion, and I'm hating life.
This week, I have been wheat-free every day. In fact, Wednesday afternoon I really wanted a snickerdoodle, and I talked myself out of it. I stopped to think about my goal, and then I moved to the realization that I might enjoy it when I ate it, but I'd be sorry later. Everything goes a lot more smoothly when my stomach isn't hurting all the time!
Yahoo! Well, I'm still thinking about my healthy recipe, but I thought I'd better post so I have a chance of getting my 3 posts in for the week.
Hope you all are making good progress this week!
