Girls Night!!

Tonight was girls night and of course it was centered around food !!! Out to dinner we went...I tried to make good choices for dinner, grilled chicken strips, steamed veggies, slaw and a few fried mushrooms. I should have left off the slaw, but I do love it from this particular restaurant. It was worth the extra calories to be out with my beautiful friends. I have invaded my sisters friends since moving to Milledgeville, since I don't really have any that live here. I love spending time with them and can see why she picked them as "girlfriends". It is such a blessing to have women in your life that you can turn to for anything. "My sisters friends" ( that are mine now too!) are such special people, including my sister(my very best friend). They are so genuine, honest and real. Nicole (who is like my sister, she has been a part of our family for 30 years) just had a little girl, she came up from Dublin for a haircut (you have to travel for the best!!!!!) and for a girls dinner. It was the first time for me to meet Claire, she is perfect in every way. She has the cutest mo-hawk!!! For those of you who know me know that I love mo-hawks!!!! Especially on her:-) Jill and Mandy completed our night, I have a picture but was warned not to post it. I had fun, I appreciate girls night so much. It is refreshing to be able to laugh and talk about things that only another women would understand. I hate leaving Gabrielle and Dreau at home, especially since I work late 2 nights and now have Weight Watchers, but I think that we need that from time to time. We women need each other and I feel blessed to have had it tonight. Thanks girls.
So I hope that tonights meal doesn't start the week off making me want more. I think that I am going to eat all of my points this week and see if that makes a difference in the loss. Some people say that it is necessary to do that in order to lose??? I am going to try eating the points this week and if I don't see much loss then next week I am going to back off some. I am waiting on the gym to open, hopefully tomorrow. I am planning on going early( that should be interesting!!! I HATE mornings). I have lots to learn in the exercise department, the tennis shoes and I need to get to know each other!! We are such strangers. I will let you know how that goes!!
Jill, Mandy and Nicole (Sally too, sorry you missed it) thank you for having me for girls night tonight. I love all of the times that we get together. Hopefully we can do it again really soon.
I love you all and pray that you all have wonderful days tomorrow, especially since you have to get up early. I will be thinking about you around 10:00!!!
