We pick this night to splurge. But it has to be either dinner or dessert. We don't splurge on both things at the same time. Last week we went out for pizza, we shared a medium vegetarian, it was a bit high in fat and calories so we chose to skip the after dinner goodies. And next week we will have a nice salad for dinner then go out for icecream on our date. :) Sunday night is our usual date night. We pick this night to splurge.

I had a "date" with hubby a week ago Friday and while I did much better than normal with the food, it was far from perfect. He is trying to support me, but doesn't truly get what I "need" for support from him. Hope you had a good time! I hope your date night last night went well!

I can tell you we're planning a weekend at the hotel where we married for our first wedding anniversary in March, but I fully plan to eat whatever I want that weekend. I imagine we'll work it off. ;-) Seriously, I think what Karen suggested is your best bet. Scope out the restaurant ahead of time and decide what you're going to have. If you take the guesswork out of it, then you won't be tempted by tasty poisonous things. :-) Wish I could help you, but we haven’t yet had a date night since we started dieting.

For me, it helps me enjoy my evening without stressing over food and being able to enjoy our time together. Have a wonderful date night. John and I are much overdue for one!

I'm having date night tonight, which almost NEVER happens. No one ever wants to watch my three kids. We always joke, when it was just the one, grandma was like "sure, no problem". Then when we had two, it was more like... "okay, that should be alright..." Then when we had the third, it's more like "No way in hell!" Anyway, thank goodness my mom is volunteering for what I'm sure will be a lot of fighting, yelling, running and general chaos. :) I am a fan of beer. Dark brews, etc., I love them. Last November I had several and instantly gained. I'm not doing beer tonight. I might just do diet soda. My trainer told me to try vodka and cranberry juice. Apparently he gets wasted on those and they won't affect my weight loss. Heh. We'll see. I might just have *one*. LOL ha ha! I’m having date night tonight, which almost NEVER happens.

I picked the restaurant and looked at the menu ahead of time to decide what I would order. And what I WOULDN'T order. I wrote about it in my blog a few days ago.
