Anyone else going out tonight?

I'm hitting the town with a friend and I have no plans for dinner other than I'm going to have it. That's a pretty loose plan when you're trying to log everything that passes your lips, but after 40 days (of being faithful, not perfect, but faithful) here on MFP I feel like it's engrained to make smarter choices than I may have a few months ago.

So-- there will probably be a cocktail or two and not a salad in sight, but I've eaten wisely thus far today and I'm not going to sweat it. I can do that tomorrow when I hit the treadmill.

What are you doing tonight?

    Not going out tonight, but when I do go out, I don't sweat it. Dining out is good practice for portion control and becoming one with the real world again; I don't plan on counting calories forever...it's good to practice intuitive eating.

    My band has a show tonight at a local club. That means drinks will be flowing, the music will be loud, and shenanigans will ensue.

    Unfortunately not having as much fun as you are.:sad:

    It does a body good to let go every so often. If I do plan a night out. I eat light all day just so i can say "Sod it, I'm going to enjoy my night" although I do still try to make good choices for food. Then I just go for it with the drink.........:drinker: :laugh:

    ^^^This.........however I have really been craving mexican food lately, so might try to talk hubby into taking me out tonight. And I won't sweat it because I had an awesome workout today!! Happy Friday people!!

    I go out on Wednesdays ($2 beers are my weakness) so tonight it's just me, the baby, and WiiFit.
    When I do go out, I usually choose what my drunk food will be before hand and have it out for when I get home. And I try to avoid food as much as possible at the bar, and dance A LOT.

    I'm going to be glued to my computer working on my thesis and the homework for my other grad program. I plan to have a couple of whiskey and diets because data analysis is always better with booze.
