week 8: Are you seeing the results?

Hey hey hey!  Well we've made it to the last week of our challenge!  How has it been for you?  For many of you, and ourselves included, the challenge may be over but our journey will still continue.  So have you been seeing the results of all your hard work?  Hopefully you have been able to take away from this a lot of good things: friendship, unity, belief in yourself and most importantly, that you are worth it!  Remember to keep up with all your efforts.  We'll still be here for all of you.  It's always just so easy to fall back into your old habits.  I've done that many many times in the past.  Always pick yourself back up and get back on the path.  We just want to tell you how proud we are of all of you.  And you never know, we may just have another challenge right up our sleeves.

This week we would like you to make an inspirational journal page.

We’ve created an inspirational printable that you can include on your page if you'd like.  Write all about the obstacles that you're facing and how you're overcoming them.  It can be the scale or maybe something else.  It's always good to get it down on paper.  Remember to share your page with us.

week 7 recipe

This week we have Tuscan Style Tuna Salad!  This would be a really great lunch item, especially over a nice green salad.

Ingredients:

• 2 6-ounce cans chunk light tuna, drained (see Note)
• 1 15-ounce can small white beans, such as cannellini or great northern, rinsed (see Ingredient note)
• 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. Combine tuna, beans, tomatoes, scallions, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir gently. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips & Notes

• Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

• Note: Chunk light tuna, which comes from the smaller skipjack or yellowfin, has less mercury than canned white albacore tuna. The FDA/EPA advises that women who are or might become pregnant, nursing mothers and young children consume no more than 6 ounces of albacore a week; up to 12 ounces of canned light tuna is considered safe.
• Ingredient Note: When you use canned beans in a recipe, be sure to rinse them first in a colander under cold running water, as their canning liquid often contains a fair amount of sodium.
