Makes sense! I think deep down I was wanting someone to tell me it wasn't a good idea before bedtime so I can be more acountable! :)

Your supper sounds fabulous!

As for the popcorn, I don't think it's a big deal to have every once in a while. Although aside from a little fiber, there's not much nutritional value in it. Some will say if you are going to have popcorn, it's best to cook it up with some coconut oil. There is also the issue of popcorn containing lectins and whether or not your gut is sensitive to them. And because of the high carb content, not a good idea to have before bed. Best to have it after a good workout if you really want it.
