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:

    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.

    Ha! Totally understand. This is my "Say goodbye to me now, love, because for the next three weeks I am neck deep in research writing" night out.
