My 4 point dinner

Hey all my favorite girls! So mom got me all set up to start weight watchers last Sunday. So I am concluding day 5 and I feel great! I am so excited to get rid of the extra weight I have accumulated since I started nursing school. I spent so much time in class (on my butt) then all the rest of my time studying (on my butt!) I am so excited about this!
Tonight I decided to throw a little casserol together and here were the things I threw in:

2 cups instant brown rice
2 cups water
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can of pinto beans, drained
1 can green beans
1 small bag frozen broccoli
2 cups frozen corn
pepper
salt
other seasonings I like
Mixed these things together and topped it off with:
1.5 cups bran flakes, crushed
2 teaspoons of olive oil
After I spread the bran flakes mixed with olive oil, I popped it in the oven on 350 for about half hour or so.

While that was cooking, I jumped on the elliptical and earned a few more points.

For the dinner, 1/8 of the casserole adds up to about 4 points! Most of the ingredients are "free"

After dinner, Sean, Kayla and I went for a walk in the wildlife reserve and enjoyed the beautiful gift of nature.

Love you all!
