Take out a loan and go to the M O V I E S!!

While taking my son to the movies yesterday, I realized that YOU NEED TO TAKE A LOAN OUT to go to the movies. The ticket prices are a bargain ($13.50) compared to the concessions. I've never heard of a $4.00 bottle of water. $3.75 for a large diet coke. It's crazy. Thankfully, I ignored the NO OUTSIDE FOOD ALLOWED signs and had my bag packed with my own water, candy and popcorn. Had to let the little guy get a kiddie meal - popcorn, small (think Halloween) skittles and small soda - $5.50.

Diet Log January 13

My first entry:

Breakfast - Large pancake, blueberries, syrup, little country crock.
decaf coffee with fat free half/half

Snack - Yoplait Light blueberry patch yogurt

Lunch - Lean Cuisine Chicken Philly flatbread melt (8g fat/330 cal) YUMMY
salad - romaine, beets, cucumber and Kraft Light Thousand Island reduced fat dressing (2TBSP=2gfat/60 cal)

Drinks - water

So far, I feel very comfortable and not hungry at all. Hopefully the rest of the day will be as smooth.

Went to see Tale of Despereaux with Terence. I brought 2 cups of my own light popcorn and some Twizzlers nip candies - they're loaded with sugar, but fat free. I also had a bottled water.

Dinner - Terence begged me to go to the Chinese restaurant after the movie. I really tested my willpower and did "okay".

Hot and sour soup
3 pieces California roll
Chicken and vegetable hibachi style stirfry with teriyaki. This is one of those cooked fresh and in front of you. She appeared to use very little oil.

Well, that's it for day one. Things started going downhill from the movie on. Hopefully, I ate okay at the restaurant.

GREAT website recommendation...

I love finding good bargain! But, I HATE weeding through things to get the deal. I'll pay full price if I really "have to have it"! My friend forwarded me a website that combines a good bargain with a personal shopper! Check it out at www.shopittome.com! YOu pick the brands you like and the days you want to receive updates. You'll receive an email on the days you chose with sales on your favorite brands! How great is that!

Happy Shopping!
