EatSmart Scale, Shrimp Salad, Potatoes

Hi guys! Sorry about another MIA day. Things for the next month or so are going to be super busy around here...so you may see my blogging dwindle just a bit. Quick Review of yesterday/today:

Monday: Work, 2 mile run, 45 minute spin, LOTS of errands, dinner, more work, bed

Today: Work, housework, took Frank for a walk, prepped dinner:

Salads (this is Josh's (which I post because a bigger salad just looks so much more awesome)- spinach, shrimp (I used beans on mine), water chestnuts, oranges, walnuts, broccoli slaw, and will later be topped with a dressing of olive oil and lemon juice):


Later on tonight, I will bake up potatoes to go with our salads (idaho for him, sweet for her):

In other news, the wonderful people at EatSmart sent me this awesome food scale to test out:


It is small and simple (PERFECT):



I plan to give it, its first run tomorrow while I bake! I will report back on my thoughts :)
Do you use a food scale? Do you use it for measurement purposes for baking or for calorie counting/portion control?
