Going Out Tonight... afraid to blow it

I am going out for drinks, pizza and a movie tonight. I do not want to blow it...
We are going to a new place that serves cheeseless pizza. It is just pizza crust, roasted veggies, and red sauce. Anyone have ideas on the calorie content or a better choice for me to eat at a pizza place?

We are going to a theater that sells alcohol... Any ideas on skinny drinks?
Ohhhhh- to be 20 again when the pounds didn't follow me everywhere I went :tongue:

    If you drink Beer...Miller 64 is a good choice

    Pizza isn't THAT horrible once you strip it of the cheese and meat. "Thin crust" options are amazing as well. Also, many pizza joints sell salads...but I rarely pass up pizza.

    Not a drinker much anymore... but if it's beer... light versions.... mixed soda and hard liquor, diet versions.

    Acutally, the cheeseless pizza is really good. That may be why I am so worried about the calorie content. hehe

    Good suggestion on the miller 64.

    Lite beer is key...I like Mich Ultra, because I'm not a Miller Lite fan. I think Ultra is 99 cals. Lately, however, I've been switching between this lite beer and diet soda and rum/vodka. My favorite is Diet Sierra Mist and Raspberry Vodka. I have no idea on the cal content of the Vodka, some sites say around 60 for a cup. Not sure, but it beats beer (and has more of an effect...if you're looking for that). :drinker: This is my plan tonight out with the girls!!! Woo-hoo!

    Was the 60 calories a cup for a cup of vodka? or for the drink?

    Oh yeah- Have fun on your girls night out!

    Pizza choice sounds like a great option. Remember portion control. Say no to the third piece. Red wine is a good choice for alcohol. ( you can sip slowly!) :drinker:

    I guess that means no popcorn at the theater.
    I have to prepare myself because I am going to be with friends who sabotage me everytime we go out. I don't think they do it on purpose but they don't stop pressuring me to order even though they know I am trying to lose weight.

    Me too. I order Martini's because of their names. hahaha. Miller lite has 96 calories if you like beer. That's what I drink. I haven't tried the Miller 64.

    i had the MGD 64 and it was good. I drank 9 (:noway: ) of them.

    i wondered why i was able to drink so many.

    because it has 2.8% alcohol! :sad:

    so, i paid $3.00 a beer for pretty much half a beer! dont think i am going for that again...but thats just little old me.

    Too Funny!
    I think a glass of wine is sounding better.

    We've switched to rum and diet, hasn't inhibited anything. I try to treat drinks like food, log it. Have fun dinaanne

    It's very likely that the restaraunt may have the calorie count for you. You could give them a call ahead of time or ask once you get there, if you're not too shy! It may not be as bad as you think!

    A side salad is a great way to fill up too!! Dressing on the side!!

    I'd also recommend arming yourself - with WATER!! Take a few bottles along with you & fill up! You'll find that you won't need or even want the other stuff!! If you do (want them) chances are you won't be albe to get a whole lot down!!

    You can do this!! And, only you can!!

    I agree.
    I had to log everything today cause it will be so crazy since I am hosting a dinner for the school.
    Made sure I had room for a salad from Wendy's since I won't have time to sit down.

    Thanks, Love the idea of logging everything before I go out.
    I feel more accountable already.

    Also- your quote about being the only that can do it is me is so spot on !!!!!

    I think cheap light beer tastes like doo doo LOL. I go with Corona Light for beer if that's the only option. But I usually get rum and diet coke because there's only 60 calories per shot of rum. However I've given up diet coke so now I'd do... I dunno... I guess tonic water or something. Vodka and OJ... there are calories in the OJ but I still think it's better than soda.

    Red wine is always a good choice because it's healthy and it only has about 100 - 150 calories depending on how big the glass.

    I hear you about pounds following you as you get older. I've realized it is so so hard to lose weight now that I'm older. My body wants to stay at its current weight and will fight me unless I'm super good. So honestly I don't splurge much anymore unless I realize I am only going to maintain if I'm lucky, not lose. :sad: I'm sorry to be depressing. If I were you I would have one piece of thin crust pizza with veggies on it, a salad, and a glass of wine. I think that sounds like a good compromise... you can enjoy the taste but also be proud of yourself for not going overboard!

    Absolutely!
    Isn't is sad that I am all wound up going out tonight and am putting all the emphasis on the food and drink instead of the entertainment factor? So here is how I will look at it (p.s. thanks everyone for getting me to think)...
    I will eat to live, not live to eat and have the time of my life tonight while doing it. So that means even if everyone around me is drinking more and eating more I will just slow down so that I won't feel left out!
    VICTORY HERE I COME...

    If you noticed I said say no to the "third" slice!! :flowerforyou:

    if you want to eat a little more, why not go for a walk at lunch to earn a few extra calories!! :happy:

    I have no idea how this happened, but I went out had 2 slices of gouda pizza, one glass of wine, and a diet coke and jack and lost half a pound.

    Wow good job. That's really not going overboard, I think it sounds pretty good compared to how much you *could* have eaten/ drunk. Yay for you.
