WLW - Week #8

Starting Weight:  155 lbs
Today’s Weight:  143.4 lbs
Total Loss:   11.6 lbs

Diet
Things I'm currently obsessed with this week include:  Smart Ones Ice Cream Sundaes, Lightly Salted Popcorn and a Thai Shrimp Salad from Applebees!   The ice cream is really good, totally fulfills my sweet tooth and clocks in at only 130 calories!  The popcorn I am getting at Aldis.  Its in a bag already popped and lightly salted.  You can eat SO MUCH for SO LITTLE calories its crazy.  And it satisfies the craving for a "munchie".  And the Thai Shrimp Salad I ordered on a complete whim.  We were supposed to have dinner at Longhorn and I had researched and figured out what I was having, we got there at 4:30 and it was an hour wait....  So we ended up at Applebees and I ordered from their lite menu.  It was REALLY good!!  Not something I would normally eat at all, but I really really liked it! 

Exercise
I have noticed that I am getting stronger.  Now when I do my kettlebell dvd I'm not sore for days after.  So that's definitely an improvement! 

Lifestyle
I am so relieved that the scale started moving again.  I know that the number of pounds isn't the only factor in all of this, but it makes me feel better when I see that number go down.  I'm going out for Ashley's birthday Saturday night.  Its going to be my first "free day" since I started all of this.  I'm hoping it doesn't throw me too far off track!
