why oh why?!

eurgh! I have been invited out on Friday evening as one of the girls I line manage is going on maternity leave. We are going for food and drinks in the centre of town and the place we are going do jugs of cocktails... 2 jugs for £10!! I just know I am not going to be able to resist and in a way I kind of don't want to have to resist! I havent been out for a few months and just fancy a night out with the girls (even though the one going on mat leave will be leaving early as she obviously isnt drinking!) I will be able to have a healthy meal, I was thinking of having a big lunch and then maybe a mug shot at about 4pm then when I go out I will be satisfied with a chicken salad or something.
Thing is... we are also going away over night on Saturday to my OH's uncles and they will be cooking for us. They do cook healthy food from scratch so I can probably work out syns quite easily.

Does anyone else find that just as you get on track something jumps out and really challenges your will power? :sigh:

All the time.
Last week was a flipping nightmare. I was away from the office and every social event revolved around food. And this Friday I'm meeting one of my oldest friends for an Indian. We don't meet that often (though we're always in contact) so I'm looking forward to it even though I know if I choose as sensibly as I can what I eat it's going to involve too much vino as usual...

I am really looking forward to it and I am going to go and enjoy myself, will have to deal with the consequences I suppose.... I do love cocktails and also sambuca! lol

There's nothing wrong with taking a day off once in a while to enjoy yourself. I am a sucker for red wine xD
Maybe throw in a couple of extra workouts if you can and you'll feel like you earned it and hopefully it won't affect the weekly weigh-in too much!

Happens to me all the time, just have 5 syns on the days where you can control it and on the ones where you can't just do your best and enjoy the syns you do have, if you stay in control the other days you can have a nice night with the girls without feeling guilty
