My wife and I made it out tonight on a date. It had been a while b/c of busy schedules or something so it was good to get out. We went to Applebee's and to the movies and watched The Bounty Hunter.
I was craving some shrimp (and really don't know nutritional value of shrimp) so I got the Grilled Shrimp & Citrus rice. Yeah...Citrus + Rice = gross. I got some cole slaw instead of the citrus rice. The rice had mandarin oranges, pineapple, and something else...did I say gross yet? Overall, besides the rice, the meal was good. I took a picture but I don't have my phone near me so we'll go without right now. The shrimp hit the spot.
The movie was pretty funny. I love going into movies having no idea of what is about and being pleasantly surprised. I had a small popcorn there (no butter) and a water.
It was a good date and was fun to get out with my wife. The weather was great today and now they are expecting snow tomorrow. Ahh.

It's shorts weather here. I have to be honest - the idea of snow makes me a little jealous.
I'm not sure about the citrus rice, either. I'd have to try it, but it sounds like it could go either way.
Glad you had a good date night. We all need those from time to time.
The one thing I am looking forward to most is knowing that I did it and did it intentionally.
I am also going to glamour shots and getting a new profile pic for my blog....cause my blog will take on a new phase.
only thirty some odd pounds away....great post.
oh, and watch the movie theatre popcorn...those b*stards use coconut oil. I should know, popcorn is my crack.
I have never been a big fan of shrimp, but will eat it. As far as proteins go, it actually is a great choice. It is lower in calorie than chicken and I think has comparable protein for the weight.
We now keep some frozen shrimp at home to add some variety to our lean proteins.
@Jeremy - we should trade places -- i love shorts weather and want it all year round...to be completely honest, I want a beach for my backyard
@cmoursler - Yeah - I'm with you on the popcorn but tonight it sounded good, I follow my plan usually to the T and i know that one night a little off will not affect my goal --- now if there were those nights every night; I may just have a problem...but it's not. :)
@Kyle - I'm excited to see that it's not that bad for you, rather healthy by your stats. I love shrimp but my wife does not - in fact, she does not like any seafood, fish, any of it so it's hard for me to justify buying it for just myself. I have a good excuse though now.
I'm looking forward to buying clothes that don't feel uncomfortable. Almost everything I wear has a tight spot. Mostly it's sleeves. No matter how big the size, apparently clothing designers think everyone has toothpick arms.
Great post. I am most looking forward to shopping and shocking people. I'm away at college and I can't wait to go home to see friends and family and they won't believe what I will have accomplished at that point.
Good choice with the shrimp.
I am most looking forward being comfortable in my clothes. Sitting in a crowd without covering my stomach.
