Be My Valentine?

Good evening Teaspoons!

How did you Tuesday go?  Only one more day before the weight-in.  We'll see tomorrow what kind of impact my trip to my parent's house did on the scale.

Valentine's day is coming up quickly!  The store are filled with teddy bears, hearts and chocolates.  What are you're plans for V-day?  Are you planning a romantic supper with your love one?  Or a fun outing with your single girl friends? What ever you will choose to do on Friday night, it will most then likely involve food.  So here's a few trick to survive V-Day.

1)  Make SURE that your boyfriend/girlfriend realise that buying you chocolate won't make you happy but rather annoyed (because you will be tempted to eat some).  So point him/her towards other things you might rather get.  Think flowers, a gift card, a good book, a card, a hug or a kiss (I rather have a hug or a kiss anyways).

2) Don't stop yourself from going to the restaurant if that's what you want to do.  As I said many times before, you can still have a life even though you are tracking what you're eating!  So plans ahead!
                     - Do a quick workout that day so you'll have extra activity points;
                     - Look at the menu online (if available) and choose wisely before going. 
                     - If you are really hungry because your restaurant reservation is later in the evening,                 
                       eat something before going! We tend to make poor choices when we are hungry because
                       everything looks good on the menu;
                     - Stay away from words like "creamy", "buttery" and "fried".

3) Have fun! Valentine's day should be about spending some quality time with someone you love.  Whether it be your boyfriend/girlfriend, a family member or a friend.  So enjoy your night and do something fun!  Go bowling, go to the movies, go shopping, go for a walk, etc.  As long as you are enjoying each other's company, that's what counts!
