[quote=Josh]I and the wife have gained too much weight lately. Every time we want to get togetther with friends it is all about eating…To make matter worse, we overeat every time.

Anyone having the same problem? Especially with Thanksgivings, Christmas and New Year coming.[/quote]

The holidays are the hardest to maintain a healthy diet. We’ve borrowed an idea that many couples use now: splitting a meal when we go out to eat. It is very common, watch the tables around you.

As for what you can do with friends that doesn’t involve eating, we pick the activity that matches the interests of whomever we’re with (and ours), including:

– Concerts (Indian casinos, belly up, anthology, 4th&b)

– Dancing to live bands at nightclubs(dancing is actually quite a bit of exercise!)

– Car-club runs (join the club of your choosing and participate in their activities)

– Wine tasting (if you haven’t spent an afternoon at the Temecula wineries on a weekend, you haven’t lived)

– Sporting events (Padres, Chargers, etc)

– Hiking

– Car shows

Granted some of the above also include a meal at some point, but that’s only natural since everyone needs to eat. Just split a meal with your spouse.

I didn’t even get into some of the even more adult activities that can be done with friends, they are a lot of exercise too!

Good luck, and at least you’re thinking in the right direction. That is half the battle right there.
