Tuesday Weigh In

Another two pounds have been lost making it a total of 19. 
I contribute this loss to the app My Fitness Pal.
This makes it so easy to document what I put into my mouth.
I am still walking 30 minutes per night on the treadmill at 2.5 mph.
When Tom and I go outside for a walk we are usually gone 45 minutes and walk 2.1 miles around the neighborhood. 
My caloric limit is 1600 calories along with that fats limit of 58 and sugars limit of 35.  That sugars limit is hard to keep low, I have to be especially careful on that one.  With My Fitness Pal, it gives you credit when you exercise.  I regained 150 calories because I walked tonight. 
I have a long way to go yet but every pound lost is an incentive for the next.  I am thrilled with my results so far and I feel so good. 



On Sunday everyone joined in and helped with the evening meal.  Here is Sam cooking the ground chicken for a Weight Watchers Mexican Casserole.

I used some whole wheat flour in the dough.  It makes it a little bit heavier. 

We didn't get a movie in this time, but still it was fun.
