    My husband and I are going to celebrate our Valentines in the gym together. We are not going out to eat (prepping our meal all the way and still counting them) because we are both in a diet :) We will skydive next week though! It was suppose to be on Valentine's but the prices are way too high so we decided to do it next week. Gym time together tomorrow

    My husband and daughter and I exchanged cards and candy today. I received a Ritter Sport chocolate marzipan bar, which I already ate. The bar was 570 calories (3 servings) so that was a splurge.

    That's my favorite candy bar. I don't buy it anymore because it's impossible for me to have a sensible portion. I always eat the entire thing.

    Same here. I never portion it out properly. The only places that sell them around here are Target and Walgreens so I do not go into the candy aisles at those stores. My husband and daughter put one in my Christmas stocking and give me one for Valentine's Day and those are the only ones I have all year.

    Yep. The plan is a light lunch at Applebee's (shouldn't be to hard to manage that), go see a movie (probably deadpool) and later in the evening my hubby is making us a steak dinner. I'm thinking of going out early in the morning and seeing if I can snag some chocolate covered strawberries from a local place for after dinner. Dinner + wine is going to be the splurge part of my day, but it's okay. We got a babysitter for the day so we could have the day together (it's been months since our last date night).

    We don't normally go out for Valentine's Day, but this year we have a sitter. I got reservations at a local Italian place, and the menu looks delicious. I spent extra time on the treadmill today and will do the same tomorrow, and I saving about 1,000 calories from tomorrow for dinner. I am going to get whatever I want and enjoy it, but the damage should be minimal. :)

    We did yesterday. It was rather glorious! Grilled salmon, potatoes, and apple crisp (swoon). And a lovely beer to celebrate our love ;) feeling motivated again today, so no harm done!

    To each his own.
    For us it's a nice excuse to have date night.

    This is us. Ours was yesterday because that was when the childcare was available. Our last date night before this was around the end of November.

    Husband and I don't do much usually for Valentines Day but we try to do some fun stuff with the kids so we are making heart shaped grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch, baking/decorating cookies this afternoon, and making lobster Mac n cheese for dinner. Since it's a cold, snowy Sunday we are doing a little more than usual but it's fun.

    I went out for dinner, I go to the restaurant we are going to on internet. I look up their menu and figure out what I would like to have. Then I go to MFP and add it all in, so I know I won't go over my calories. It is easy for me and that way I can just go and eat and enjoy it. I don't order anything else except what I picked.. I drink water also.

    Went to the gym for 90 minutes this morning.
    Home cooked meal. Garden salad, grilled steak, baked sweet potato, glass of wine and mixed berries with coconut milk whipped cream.
    Indulgence, but within my calorie allotment for the day.

    We don't do Valentine's day but I'm sending happiness and joy to all who do.

    I splurged on Friday when my beloved and I did a whisky tasting which was my birthday present to him. Drank to much and then ate too much. And then he was finally introduced to a part of my family who matters very much to me. Food was had and enjoyed.

    I guess. I'm guessing my SO will leave hers untouched and I'll be having it again:
