Week 2, GF, Smoothies and calorie counting

This week  I am using MyFitnessPal to record my calorie consumption now I have removed wheat from my diet.  I am averaging 2000Kcals but when I can keep under this its a bonus. 

This will be the 1st weeks goal, each week I will remove 50kcals from my daily limit so that I can keep losing weight over time. As I have a sedentary lifestyle, due to my health, I have to rely on my diet for 90% of my weight loss.

Also trying to have a smoothie everyday with the intention of adding new ingredients each week. 
This week I've chosen to add fresh mint and lemon water.
Next week I want to try to be brave and add a green ingredient. I have been told spinach can be well hidden in a smoothie by the fruits you add in with it.

I had to eat 3 rice crackers and some ham to balance it out and ease off the pains.
