From Fat to Fit to Forty

Just a quick update:

I lost another 1.5 lbs, and am officially (and barely!) back in the 170's, at 179.5!

Whoo hooo!

I lost 12 pounds this past month.

Lots of sweat and determination.

Since this new year is my year of challenges, I'm going to start cooking more and make my family try new recipes, and hopefully they won't know the difference when I make them lower in fat.

I made this today, and tested it out on my father-in-law and Finn.

We all loved it.

A low-fat version of lettuce wraps.

4 WW pts. per serving, and the recipe makes about 5 servings.
