In the past 9 months, I have been out to dinner with 1 set of friends (and no one else) exactly 1 time. I can't even believe it. My life used to revolve around food and drink and nothing else (and it was never coffee...
).
I had to make some serious changes in my life and it got to the point that it wasn't negotiable. To think on a Saturday night I'm in workout clothes and walking around the block with my husband is laughable to me, it's like I'm a whole new person! This time last year we'd be meeting our friends for drinks for happy hour and then going to dinner and then somewhere for a couple more drinks.
I hope I can go back to being social again (had a few health and weight issues to deal with and thankfully my friends understand that I can't do the restaurant thing plus when I go to their house, I plan to an extreme to stay on plan so it makes me uncomfortable as it looks like I'm obsessed about my food.).
Do you have bike paths near your house? I found one near mine and it's awesome! Maybe a museum (I just found one about antique cars and trains about 20 miles from here, dying to go!)? Is there an aquarium? Or the beach (soon!)? An amusement park?
Sorry...started to ramble!! I wish I lived near you, we are in the same mindset right now!!
