What are you doing for Valentine's Day that doesn't involve food/candy?

Well I told my hubby no going out to eat for Valentine's and no candy either. I know some people are taking a VD "break", but I find that breaks don't work for me and make it very hard for me to get back on schedule if I do that, so I'm not. Just wondering what ideas anyone might have for me. Movies are in the back of my mind, IF I find something we want to see and no popcorn at movie! what else?...

    Spa treatments!

    I was considering getting a couples' massage for me & my partner instead of a food outing. It's a wonderful way to reward your body without filling it with chocolate. Actually, massages are my way of rewarding myself if I hit a weight goal.

    You could also do a mini road trip to some neighboring city or go on a nature walk (if you live someplace warm... not where I am right now, it's filled with snow)

    hubby wants to go out to dinner so we are going to Logans and counting my calories. I can forget the candy but you have to eat so why not a nice restaurant.

    Well I luckily have taken a VD break ... I don't want to see a doctor on Valentine's Day.

    My plans are to go out for a delicious dinner, get my favorite chocolates eat them in moderation over a few days, and enjoy it like any other day.

    I will be at our Dual State Wrestling Championships coaching to win a state title.

    The joys of coaching....turns any holiday into just another normal day.

    A surprise decorated room for hubs-with balloons, candles, stuffed bears-and some rose petals. Im going to get a movie-have a fresh veggie, fruit and cheese tray ready. Snuggle in with a good movie and healthy munchies. Yesterday was hubs bday-and I did nothing-totally nothing for his bday-we are very busy but still-his bday passed without even a gift. So I have to try to do something special for valentines day.

    Make a favourite at-home meal. You control what's in it and still enjoy it.

    I think my partner and myself may be the only ones who don't do anything for V-Day.

    My husband and I are just going to cook some steaks on the grill and relax at home. Not really much different than any other night, I just bought some ribeye steaks instead of sirloin :-)

    I told my husband to get me an edible arrangements fruit basket as a gift this yet instead of chocolate. I know that involves food but it's at least a lot healthier than junk!

    Instead of the usual candy, I'm taking the hubs and the kids to Dave and Buster's to play games!

    Booked massages together and fancy dinner out (within reason, only eating to maintenance)

    As much as I'd love to say something romantic, instead we'll be at our oldest sons hockey tournament - so a weekend traveling from arena to arena and in a hotel room with our 3 kids.

    Why not have popcorn? Just eat it plain with no topping. Popcorn is a healthy snack it is the toppings that can be bad.

    No break for me, eating as usual. I am grilling steaks and having wine with dinner. It will fit into my calories and I will cut back on my other meals for the day if it doesn't. I have been doing this for 3 years and never once have I regretted any "extra" calories on holidays. I am on maintenance now, but still try not to go over
