Hello! How was your weekend? I had a little fun, a little run and a lotta eats.
Luckily all your weekend calories don’t count if you had a rough week! Score!!
This morning I stayed true to my little Sunday morning tradition of a walk to get coffee. It was a gorgeous morning!
Ice ice coffee…
Then, I headed to my mom’s because I was in charge of my little brother today. By ‘in charge of’ I mean his chauffeur. Luckily he’s cute and fun so I don’t mind it.
While I waited to pick him up I raided my mom’s fridge. I don’t f around with salad. ALL THE TOPPINGS!!!!
I want to thank Jesus for this special treat. Yesterday I went to the movies to see Gone Girl and I really wanted popcorn, but I also really wanted to pretend I have some self control so I didn’t buy any. And it was sad. Popcorn is my favorite part of the movies!!
And by a stroke of luck my mom bought this delicious caramel corn (somewhere I have no idea and I don’t really care) and I ate it all. And it was happy.
I had company in Bay Leaf and the Roxican…
*Note – how my sandals are thrown on the floor as I kicked them off and attached the popcorn.
Question: Do you get popcorn at the movies?
Who else saw Gone Girl?! What did you think??
I do 83% of the time. I regret it when I don’t.

Mmm movie popcorn… SO yum.. I only make the “healthy”stuff at home (air-popped, some seasonings and a spray of coconut oil) so the movie popcorn is such a treat!
Tricia says
I’m dying to see it! I have plans to see it with my friend this weekend! I can’t wait. I’ve heard a ton of good things about it!
Sara Gail says
I saw Gone Girl last night! Overall I though it was definitely entertaining and Ben Affleck wasn’t too bad to look at. The actress who played Amy also did an amazing job of playing someone who was crazy. I read one Buzzfeed article though that nailed the differences between the two on the head… in the book part 1 Amy is more of a “cool girl” and someone who you can actually see Nick falling in love with. In the movie, Amy is pretty much an ice queen the entire time and not very likable at all.
Leslie @ Life Begins @ 30? says
I love movie popcorn!! Did they really change the last 3rd of the book for the movie? I can’t wait to see Gone Girl.

i worked at a movie theater one summer during college and the best perk was all the free popcorn i wanted. i think i gained 5 lbs that summer! 😉
JE @ Wandering Portlander says
The only popcorn I ever like is the stuff from movie theaters. You have far more self control than I do.
Alison says
Yes, always yes to popcorn.
I did see Gone Girl this weekend! It was good…and crazy long!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma says
Definitely want to see Gone Girl but I literally haven’t been to the movies in 5 years (kids will do that) so it’ll have to wait. I miss movie popcorn, best memories 😉
cheryl says
I love the kettle corn from Trader Joes…perfect.
I will have to read the book before I watch the movie…and get out of this rock I am under…
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
I love popcorn at the movies…lately microwaveable popcorn has been my go to snack. I have no self control. Hope to see Gone Girl soon! Was it as good as the book?
runeatrepeat says
It wasn’t as good as the book, but I ‘m glad they didn’t change the ending 🙂
Carly says
I’m not a fan of popcorn, until I’m at the movie theater…and then I love it! Like must have it, need it now, love it!! Can’t wait to see Gone Girl! What’d ya think?

I loved the book and liked the movie 🙂
Julie @ Run Away Freckles says
I never order popcorn at the movies, its always cold and seems like a good idea until my hands are covered in grease. I am a fro-yo person. I want to see Gone Girl really badly, maybe this week.
Ashley @ Kickashmom says
I’ve never need to the movies and not got popcorn. That’s just not right.
Linda @ Fit Fed and Happy says
I find it outrageous and so ridiculous that they would consider potatoes and corn vegetables. They’re starches–empty starches!
Losing Lindy says
sounds like a great weekend
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
I want to see Gone Girl! It looks amazing!!
sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I love kettle corn and Kermit and Fozzie bear too =)
runeatrepeat says
🙂
Sarah @ KS Runner says
I can’t wait to see Gone Girl!! Was it good!?
I have a love hate relationship with popcorn at the movie theatre. It’s so expensive, but its so much better than making popcorn at home. Unless it is caramel corn, that is the best homemade!
runeatrepeat says
I think it was good, but the book was better.
Carrie (This Fit Chick) says
IM DYING TO see it!!! hopefully this weekend and YES popcorn for the win!
Aurora@Fitness is Sweet says
I really want to see Gone Girl! I listened to the audiobook on my long runs while half marathon training this summer and loved it!
runeatrepeat says
Me too! I read the book a while back and LOVED it.
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
Movie theater popcorn is SO good! I’m a popcorn addict though. 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I used to be such a popcorn addict. I miss it…
Charlotte says
How was Gone Girl? I heard Ben Affleck gave a stellar performance.
runeatrepeat says
It was good, but not as good as the book (never is right).
