    do you have a smart phone? The phone app is awesome and allows you to log everything in from anywhere and keep track. Otherwise I would look up how many calories are in the food/drinks you plan to have and set your limit before you go. Have a great time! :)

    Definitely make sure you get a good workout in beforehand. Even when sharing unhealthy food or trying to eat the healthier options in a restaurant, it can be hard to manage calories. And drinks really pile on the calories. If you get a good workout in earlier in the day, that will give you a little more wiggle room. Also drink a lot of water before and during the meal. Remember to enjoy yourself and not stress too much about every bite.

    If you are going out to dinner most restaurants have their menus on line. In which case you can figure out exactly what you are going to eat before you go and how many calories it is going to be. Try not to eat the pre dinner bread that is provided or chips / salsa depending on the restaurant. Also if you are planning on having adult beverages be sure to drink a lot of water the day of. That seems to help me :) Good luck 

    Do you know where you'll be going? I always try to look up menus beforehand and do a mockup of what the night might look like based on the choices I have. Sometimes I know I'm going to be over my calorie goal no matter what, but at least I'll know by how much.

    Yes be sure to getback good workout in. Also try to drink water all throughout the day, and the day after. I can log in to mfp from my phone so after Ea drink I do I seriously log it in right then and there. And I try to ne really conscientious. This has worked for me.

    I've a method... Go out, enjoy yourself and back on it day after with a full week of healthy goodness. I did this since going to a 40th birthday party last week and I also had a loss this week but was expecting a gain.

    I try and plan ahead, but I also have the app on my phone so i can log as I go... unless i drink too much then I think I forget to log some of my drinks, but I try ;-) I also try to an extra workout or a longer work out if I know I'm going out so that I have some extra calories to play with.

    Leighann, you under eat and not listed any fruit or veg in your diary. To pull back from a massive night out you need some balance.
