Going to the Movies with a plan!

[wdwnutze]

I was suppose to go to the beach with friends today but given all the rain we have decided to go for breakfst and then a movie. I'm not worried about the breakfast part of the outing at all. I will have my eggs and bacon with a big glass of ice water. I was nervous about the movies with the popcorn and all the candy so I came up with a plan. I will bring my own treats. I will bring an Atkins peanut butter cup, a bottle of water and as my big treat I will bring a small hazlenut iced coffee with cream and splenda. I know we are not suppose to have caffeine on Atkins but I have been able to have the occassional ice coffee as a treat for myself with no problem. Given the alternatives(candy, popcorn and soda)I think this is a plan I can live with. Not sure what we're seeing but I think it will be POTC.

Great idea.

My DH and I went to the movies last week and saw POTC, it was great.

Here is another idea for movie snacks.....sunflower seeds.

I take a package that I buy at Sam's - it only has a net of 2 carbs and like 160 calories.

I also take an extra zippie bag to put the shells.

It takes me over 1 hour to eat the bag of seeds and the saltiness makes me think of movie treats.

I bought my glass of water at the movies ($0.25).

I didn't feel at all deprived.

When we went to the movies--both times to see POTC--I also brought my own snacks! (we always do, anyway!!) I brought Atkins bars for me and DH, water, and sunflower seeds, too!!
If you go see POTC, you will LOVE it!! We saw it twice, and are planning another this weekend!! I just bought the soundtrack, because the music was really cool!!! HAVE FUN!!!!

Saw it last night! Johnny Depp as Jack Swan, oops make that CAPT. Jack Swan was amazing. Loved the little "swish" he kept putting into the character!

No problem on snacks here as we tend to go to the show right after dinner and am not interested in more snacks at that point.
