Gardening can be considered exercise. You surely do some resistance and strength training when gardening. And if you want to make it even better and add some cardio in it, all you have to do is move faster.

The percentages look okay. Maybe a little high on fat, but that is probably not an issue unless you are consuming too many calories (fat being more calorie-dense).

The limit on cream is 2-3 tablespoon. 3 oz are allowed as a "Special Category Food", but those are foods that come with the warning that they may stall or slow down your weight loss. So if you think you are losing too slow, you should drop (some of) the cream, at least until you figure out if it affects your weight loss rate.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
