"Chimpanzee" the movie

We went to see "Chimpanzee" the movie today. It was a nice little movie (only and hour and 18 minutes). Some parts of it were sad and a bit dark but all the little kids who were there didn't seem to mind as much as I did. LOL I got us a small popcorn to share and a medium coke. I had about a cup of the popcorn and 1/3 of the coke. So I still have 14 points left today.

I think I will make sandwiches for dinner (a safe choice, can't go wrong with that). It's only 1pm so I'll probably eat around 2pm. Then I'll be done for the day with point food. I didn't go to the store so we don't have a lot of fruit. Enough though that I can have an apple later. I can also have some salad if I get hungry. I'll go to the store tomorrow after my WW meeting. I'll just leave a note for Maria and leave the doors unlocked.

I'm looking forward to getting to a meeting tomorrow. It's been 2 days without one. During the week I go every other day. I'm really looking forward to Wednesday and weigh in. I hope I lose again this week. I think I will lose but not much. Weighing in at 5:30pm is a little problematic because I have to eat all my meals before I weigh in. I should be okay though. I guess I could have dinner after the meeting. David could wait until I get home too. I should be home by 7pm. The meeting goes about an hour, until 6:30pm. I'll have to talk to David about it and see what he wants to do. I can wait until after the meeting but he might want to eat before I leave. Either way is fine by me. I'll just have to plan it out so that I make something easy for Wednesday nights (this Wednesday it will be crescent dogs and fries or mac & cheese).

It was good to get a snack at the movie and be able to limit myself. I could have had more popcorn and coke but I didn't want to use up more points since it's so early in the day. I self-limited at breakfast too. I could have eaten more but I ate slow enough that I knew I was full and could stop. I paid attention to my hunger signals and stopped when I felt full. That is a good skill to develop.

Now I have the rest of the day to myself. I do have laundry and dishes to do but I think I will put it off  until later. The dishes have to get done before Maria gets here. I can either do that tonight or tomorrow morning. Laundry won't take long. I only have to put some stuff away (underclothes in the basket and pants in the closet). I won't do the next load of laundry until tomorrow. Then again I could get it done tonight and have more time tomorrow. I'll have to see how I feel.

It's very overcast out. It's supposed to rain and it feels like it will. It was cold when we came out of the movie. I'm glad it wasn't raining. I'm glad to be home and warm (it was cool in the theater too) and relaxing. We did sit up top in the movie theater and going up the stairs was hard because my knee was so stiff. I was a bit out of breath too when I got to the top. Someday it won't be like that. I'm looking forward to those days. I guess I could put in 10 minutes of activity which would include walking in and out and doing the stairs 2 times. Plus we walked at Lowe's after the movie. That will give me an AP.

Overall a good day so far. A picture of Oscar to finish off this post.
