Day Two Hundred and Fifty-Four - Popcorn and a Movie

I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 tonight.  I won't throw out any spoilers or anything, but I enjoyed it.  I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I really like popcorn.  Especially fresh, movie theater popcorn with "butter" (come on, we all know that isn't butter... doesn't mean it doesn't taste good).  I'll confess (and I may have already said this in one of my previous posts) that in the past I would buy a large popcorn (drenched in "butter") and eat the entire thing.  If that isn't bad enough I'd get the free refill and eat more on the way home.  I'd be sick for days following the gluttonous binge.  It's refreshing now that I can head to a movie knowing that it will be different.  Tonight, I ordered a small popcorn (and yes I did have some "butter" on it).  I already had my calories punched into myfitnesspal so I knew I could eat the whole bag if I wanted.  Instead I stopped just over halfway through the bag.  I love when I can look back at my actions and see self-control.  Also, I took Plexus Block before I ate the popcorn.  I love that I can block the absorption of carbs!  It really was a great night.  I got to enjoy a good movie (in an awesome theater with comfy, reclining seats) and a delicious snack!  I'm loving the life change as I'm losing my butter half!

My calories today were great!  I'm so excited I was able to enjoy some popcorn and not overdo it.  My workout this morning was really difficult.  I'm glad I was able to complete it.  I'm ready for the weekend.
