Tips for going out!
Everyone loves a night out on the town. Finally done work for the week, and you wanna have fun! Here are some tips for staying within the points and having a healthy evening! Don't give yourself a heart attack over it!
1. Pre-track before you go- Whenever I go to a restaurant, I find out the nutrition info first before I even order the food that way I know whether it will be in my points or not. I usually try to find something that stays within, but I track everything before it goes into my mouth.
2. Order skinny drinks- Most bars carry Skinny Girl products now. Get a lighter version of a drink, for example a skinny girl screwdriver (vodka and OJ) is 3 PP per serving. Cranberry and vodka is also another good bet. Stay away from brown liquors and yes, Beer. They are what carry the most points. If you really need a beer, track it before you go. You can get the nutritional info easy.
3. Ask for food modifications- Some restaurants won't change the menu, even if you're really important, but most restaurants will. Instead of getting those fries, ask for a side salad or even a baked potato. There are usually tons of better options then the crappy stuff they wanna give you.
4. Dance a lot- If you are going out dancing, stay on the dance floor! Dancing burns so many calories and it's a great way to blow off steam and relieve stress. Just like Zumba except you have to try not to look like a serious freak. Even though I always do. I don't care ;).
5. Sip slowly- Drink your drink slow. This protects you from having about 30 and going way over your points. I always try to drink a drink over the course of time I am out. Take it slow, nobody wants to carry you out anyways.
6. Smile a lot- As weird as this sounds, smiling burns calories. Plus you don't wanna look like you're having a miserable time. Be happy, you're out and about! It could be worse.
There are tons of things we can do to make our night out, a healthy one. Even if you splurge a bit, stay accountable and it's not a big deal. Make sure that you have fun, and stay safe!
