lol....see we never go out....we have our dates in usually...but he found a really great chinese restuarant...gourmet not fast foodish...and he wants to take me so I finally agreed and tonights the night LOL...we're going late as to make sure our boy is fine...having a hard day today....but now he's better so "its on baby!" as hubby told me LOL...sigh....

okay I have hmmm about 650 cals left and I sooo want to have a drink or two....lol hey I deserve it people LOL....

What are some good choices for the food, I'll probably get to drink a raspberry stoli w/ diet sprite, lime and splash of cran...about 100 cals each....yes I'm going for two LOL I think....

so that leaves me 450....sigh...should have not eaten that much today, but lots of fruit so oh well....

so I"m thinking mooshi chicken, steamed veggies, NO RICE, maybe a bite or two of noodles....sigh....I'm thinking it may turn into a cheat night lol

any tips or advice???

hugs!

    ok...not sure how much time you have till THE date...but a brisk walk will earn you some extra cals? Do you have time to fit it in....if not how bout a romantic after dinner walk.....doesnt have to be brisk....but that'll give you extra cals too....

    If you are going to have Chinese I would recommend Moo Goo Gai Pan, a stir-fried dish consisting of sliced or cubed chicken with white button mushrooms and other vegetables. Seems harmless, right?

    P.F. Chang's Moo Goo Gai Pan has 660 calories for one dish of food; yet, the fat isn't quite as appealing. Their dish has around 34g of total fat and 3.5g of saturated fat.

    Just remember: you don't know how they're going to cook your meal and the percent of your dish that's has fat, saturated, and trans fat among other goodies are unknown. You're better off treating it as a cheat day ;)

    Have fun tonight!

    For every 15 minutes of being "on top/ the one doing most of the work" it burns 146 calories. Had to figure that one out this morning!
