Weight Watchers

Over the past five years I have watched my weight balloon out of control. It wasn't until Josh and I moved back to California that I realized how much I have gained. As we unpacked our pictures and clothing, that I hadn't seen in over three years, I immediately became aware of my problem. I saw a person in those pictures that I barely recognize and clothes that nowhere near fit.

Recently I have started Weight Watchers and immediately started seeing the weight come off. I have been sticking to tracking my points and using the Weight Watchers bar code scanner to inform my grocery shopping decisions. I have also started doing a lot more walking with Callen and the dogs. So far I have lost 10 pounds.

Josh and I have also started getting back into cooking. We have always enjoyed doing this activity together, but got into the habit of eating out too often. Some of our favorite dishes so far have been fish tacos with mango salsa, chicken philly wraps, meatless tacos and homemade low-fat ice-cream. Here are the recipes:

Now I cringe to include this picture but I am trying to positively embrace my weight so that I can move forward.

My goals and motivation to lose weight are not only for myself but for Josh and Callen as well. I want to be sure that I always have the energy I need to be actively involved in their lives.
