Having Fun and Paying the Price

Going out to a bar and eating and drinking is one of the most fun things that I do. I like going out and enjoying some delicious beers. Yet I realize how much of a price I pay to do that. First I have to pay the money to eat and drink at the bar and that expense adds up qiuckly. Then I have to pay the price of not sleeping well and being tired at work the next day. Then there is the whole health thing. I consume so many beer calories in a regular week I'm surprised that I don't have a big old beer belly. I think that the key is balance. It is alright to have fun by going out but by limiting how many times you go out, eating healthy during the week, drink lots of water, take some fiber and exercise then you pay the price in these much better terms and get to have your cake and eat it too.
