A Movie and Fruit?

Today my family and I actually had nothing going on (this doesn't happen very often) so we spent the morning relaxing, slept in a little and decided that today, since it was a lazy rainy Sunday, we would go to the movies. We went to see Rango which my husband and I thought was borderline torture!!!!! I was surprised because we were just saying the other day how awesome kids movies are these days.

Going to the movies now a days is soooooo much different than when I was a kid. Heck its a whole lot different from just the last time we where there, which was probably about nine months ago!

So I will start with how wonderful it is that you can just buy tickets online and print them out at home.......no more lines and having to get there 10 hours early just to get in and if you decide to go to the movies last minute while you are out, you still don't have to stand in line because they have a couple computers right when you walk in that you can buy and print your tickets at!

Next, you always need a snack when you go to the movies right? Years ago you would have to settle for either candy or popcorn and soda. NOW they have a little food court with everything you can think of!!!!! Weather you want pizza, a hot dog, ice cream or even a Starbucks coffee you can get it! Of course you can still get popcorn and soda but the choices of candy is even out of control! I mean they have cookie dough in a box!!!!! (of course that what the boys wanted)

Now as you know I am trying to eat right, be healthy and make good choices. In all the choices I mentioned what is the best option for someone in my position?????? NONE of those options are the right choice!!! Not only are they the wrong choices for my diet but there are soooo many wrong options!!!

"They make it so hard for anyone to be healthy these days" I say to myself as the boys are drooling over the glass case of sweet treats........but wait, what is that????? I can't believe my eyes.......in a little case filled with ice, barely visible........there was a cup of apples and a cup of cut up veggies!!!!!!

"How awesome is that!" I said like a little kid in a candy store. The man behind the counter looked at me like I was crazy. Who would pick apples over candy or pizza or ice cream right????

What choice do you think I made? Yes, I am so proud to say that I picked the apples and I enjoyed them just as much as the boys enjoyed their junk!

What would you have picked? Oh and by the way I think it is crazy that the cup of sliced apple was $5.00!!!!! FIVE dollar apple!!!!! It was worth it ;)

Love Much, Live Well.........and be healthy too!
