Out With Friends

My kids have been out of town and I've been trying to catch up with old friends while I have the time.  Thursday night, I went out dancing with good friends.  It didnt start til 11 pm ... which is VERY late on a "school night"... but it was fun.  And, I burned a lot of calories!! 

Last night, I went out with several more friends.  It's great to be with people I rarely get to see anymore... like my very dear friend Jason (in photo above) who I met when I was 13 years old.  But, it is very hard for me to socialize without drinking.  I'm great at not eating.  They all ate in front of me.  And, I was fine.  But, I want to drink too.

I was trying very hard to be good this week after my one pound gain.  Hmmmm.  I don't really regret going out with my friends, though.  It's part of life.   I just have to figure out how to better balance it all.
