friday date night

No Friday Date Night

April 26, 2019 9:14am CST

Last Friday night was the first night of our holiday which we hosted, so we didn’t have our weekly date night. Tonight, we won’t have it either, but that’s okay. Our best friends from up north are at their Florida condo for a long weekend, and we have a dinner date tonight. I’m so excited to see my friend and her husband! We will have dinner at a restaurant new to us, but I heard it is known for both it’s seafood and steaks. By the way, my husband has been sticking to his diet and lost 22 pounds. Because of his diet, I lost 12 pounds!!! Not complaining either.

You are both doing really well with your diets. Keep it up! Can you call tonight a double-date?

@DianneN It's working out well for both of you!

You really enjoy your Friday-date alone time with your husband.

@1hopefulman We both prefer our Friday date night alone time, and usually leave Saturday night open for friends. We will have another Friday date night interrupted by friends in May, but that's okay. We enjoy their company enough to spend time with them.

Thank you! I hadn't planned on dieting, but it fell into place. One can never be too thin. Now that I'm on a roll, I'd be so happy if I could lose another 5 plus pounds. Then I'd really have a reason for shopping. lol I guess we can call it a double date, but it's definitely not our Friday date night.

@DianneN You and your husband are definitely very busy but thats a good thing. I want to move to Florida so bad but C won't because of snakes and alligators.

I've only seen two snakes in the 6 years we've been here and one alligator on the golf course. All harmless, and I'm terrified of snakes.

@nela13 That's so true and the main reason I wanted him to lose the weight. Today was his lowest weight so far.

@DianneN With good company, the food and fun go hand in hand - I would eat up too. A couple pounds up or down - weight fluctuates anyway, right? Maybe it is moreso for women - I don't know - but yah, not fair

We had such a wonderful time with our friends. We couldn't get over the fact that we were actually together in Florida. The food was so delicious that I ate like a horse and gained a couple of pounds. My husband gained zilch! Not fair!!!

@much2say We went out for Cuban food last night and believe it or not, I lost 3/10 of a pound.

. There is always Monday to begin a diet yet again. Fluctuation is my middle name.

@DianneN sounds like a very sensible approach to losing weight. Lots of times diets become too restrictive and then don't work.

I had seafood and gained weight. My hubs had a steak and didn't gain a pound. Go figure! At least you can see your big bluebird. Hopefully, you will luck out and get a photo.

OH well done both of you. Please do not lose too much weight. You need your fat reserves in case you become unwell! I can't see why you would need to lose weight. I could do with losing a ton or two!
