The Weekend

We went to visit some friends this past weekend in St. Pete and had an amazing time.  It was a time to enjoy my self and let loose a little without the kids and have some fun. 

I was conscience of my food intake but never really worried about it.  This is one of the keys to being able to actually maintain a weight loss/lifestyle plan.  You have to be willing to let yourself have some fun and a few of those great foods/drinks or you will crash and burn.  Believe me.  Tyler over at 344pounds.com has a similar philosophy, although he is now pursuing a muscle building regiment that really doesn't allow for the mulligan meals (as I like to call them)...  

A couple of the things I tried to do while enjoying the weekend was drink plenty of extra water, order the smaller portions of meals (like no fries with the AWESOME burger at The Tradewind's - Piper's Patio) to be able to enjoy the food but keep the calories in relative harmony. 

We did a pub crawl up the beach so you know pub food isn't that great, but there are alternatives if you keep your eyes open...

Have a fantastic day!
