Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Thursday, 7/26/2018

After injuring myself on Saturday, I think I'm going to try to run again today. Woo! I can't wait. I'm scheduled for 5 miles, so we'll see what happens. Then, later today, I'm meeting up with a friend from my WLS support group to give her some unused Unjury. She has surgery next week. I'm excited for her!

QOTD: Do you like going to see movies at the theater? What was the last movie you saw at the theater? What's the next movie you're going to see at the theater? Do you go with people or by yourself?

1: Clif Blok pre-run
2: protein shake
3: tamale hash, fried egg
4: bacon chicken quesadilla filling crisped in skillet

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: running, pull-ups, yoga

How about you?

Good morning, Gwen et al. One day from the weekend, woo hoo. Working at the office today, but it looks like the attorneys I work with are working at home, so i hope to have a nice, quiet day. Went to "look" at a car yesterday and ended up driving it off the lot. I love that, haha.

QOTD: I prefer to watch movies at home. I don't want to sit that close to strangers, lol - end we have a ridiculously huge tv at home. I like being able to pause and restart. Last movie in the theater was Black Panther ...next - who knows

B: steel cut oats

L: salad from caf, most likely

D: daughter and sil coming for dinner - veal cutlets, squash, -stuffing veal for DH and SIL with marsala sauce

E: possibly a walk, if it doesn't rain

L/V: made cold brew at home, it's yummy...too much of that, I'm sure, lol.

QOTD: I've always enjoyed seeing movies at the theater. It was always a neat treat when I was a kid, so it remains one as an adult. When Art and I lived in England, we saw movies at the base theater often because it was cheap ($1.50/ticket!) and we were broke. The theater only showed 2 movies a week, though :) Art, however, doesn't like going to see movies as much as I do, so he's happy that Lance LOVES movies and would literally see every movie that came to our local theater regardless of quality if he had the time. So Lance is now my movie buddy and I end up seeing more movies than I'd choose to see if left to my own devices. Heh. One year we managed to see 100 movies in the theater, but that was before life got as busy as it is now. We tend to get around 50 these days. Recently we've ended up seeing a few movies alone, since I've been gone on weekends.

The last movie I saw in the theater was The First Purge. This weekend is a big movie weekend since Art is out of town and I'll be out of town most of the weekends in August, so we're playing catch up/get ahead and spending two days at the theaters. We've got tickets for Ant-Man (he saw it already, but I wasn't able to go since I was super sick that day), Mission Impossible, The Equalizer, Won't You Be My Neighbor, Leave No Trace, Three Identical Strangers, and Sorry To Bother You.

Good morning! I can't believe it is almost the end of July. The summer is flying by!

I made instant pot yogurt yesterday for the first time (easy recipe with Fairlife milk so not boiling needed). It is pretty tasty!

QOTD: I don't really like movie theaters as I get nudgy and worry about stuff spilled and dirty people sitting previously in my seat. So I usually wait to see movies at home. I think the last one I went to was with DS at a pub restaurant (so the seats are regular wipe off chairs). It was either one of the newer Star War movies or maybe a Harry Potter movie. DS loves going to the movie theater and sees every movie worth seeing.

2 Years, 4 months post-op (maintaining at goal for 20 months)

Always lots of coffee...

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Leftover veal parmigiana (last of 3 meals)

S: home-made yogurt

Happy Thursday Gwen and everyone! Babysitting today. Have to take my son to karate later but that's about it for today.

QOTD - Love love love movies! I'm lucky that Mike loves movies just as much as I do so we try to literally see every movie. The movies here are super expensive so a lot of time we just rent at Redbox or buy it when it comes out. Last movie Mike and I saw was Rampage and then we took the kids to see Incredibles 2. We really want to go see Antman and Wasp so I know we are trying to get there to see that.

B - coffee and protein

L - shredded buffalo chicken

D - chicken avocado salad

E - walk, squats, leg lifts, bridges, lunges

Lance just signed us up for this AMC thing that gives us three movies a week for some fixed price. And it includes IMAX and 3D (not that we see 3D since we prefer 2D). I think he said it pays for itself as long as we see three movies a month, so we'll see how it goes for us. Of course the area we're moving to in a few years is dominated by Regal :P

Yeah someone just told me that we should get moviepass. You pay $9.95 a month and you can go see 1 movie every day! It sounded like it was too good to be true bc I don't know how they would make money off of that deal but I'm going to look into it. We only have Regal close by. AMC is like 45 min away.

Now that we live where there is no drive-in we typically buy the movies, seems like they come out FAST these days. I think my sister has around 2000 movies. But we still like to go to the theater and watch them when we can.

We do have a drive-in theatre but I don't really like it I feel like the screen is always so dark I can barely see the movie.

Wow! I can't remember the last time I bought an actual movie - these days I tend to just rent or buy digital copies!
