Leftover Checkin

Goals:

(format fail in google reader, and I don't feel like fixing it)

 1) Only non-soy chocolate.
 2) Two sodas a week.
 3) Salt and pepper squid once a month.
 4) Out to a restaurant once a week.
 5) Two hard candies a day.
6) Kickie at least once a week.
 7) Be prepared.

Summary:

I did five out of the seven (1,2,5,6,7) yesterday!

Still at too many salt and pepper squids in the last four weeks, but I haven't made it again.  Number 4 is going to take a hit tomorrow as I'm meeting my girlfriend for lunch.  We need time to catch up!

I picked up 7 from yesterday!  So even though dinner got turned over for wonderful reasons.  A good friend I don't see often came to dinner.   Then a found out a good friend of mine from NY was in town and he came over with one of my favorite local peoples.  It was a full house, exhausting but fun.  I had the meal all planned but couldn't cook it.  So I asked one of the other guests who is herself a very good cook to make it.  It was awesome!  She was more than happy to as she loves cooking.  That I let her cook to me is also a huge deal as it's a sign that my OCD is calming down again.  It was real bad with all the changes in the last year.

Side note, with these goals I've already seen a drop in my weight.  I think it's a decrease in bloating from the soy and the sodas.

Oh recipes?  Yep got the link to the one we made yesterday but alas we ate it.

Chicken with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Orzo

The only changes that were made were more garlic and some of the diced tomato was reserved in order to have a chunkier sauce.  It was very good though next we will probably use a different pasta.  With 5 breasts it served 6 people.
