Morning Insurance Policy

Happy Tuesday!

Anyone else excited for the season premiere of LOST?! I can’t believe it’s finally here!! My husband got me into the show a few years ago, and now we’re addicted! If you’ve never watched it, make sure you don’t just jump in at the middle–you have to watch every episode from the beginning– or you’ll be confused as heck! We still get confused at times.

Last night, we celebrated our first “Bad Movie Monday.” My brother-in-law wanted to start this Monday night tradition, where we watch only the WORST of the worst movies ever made. Sounds fun, huh? Last night, we struck bad-movie gold with Deadline.

Not only was this the slowest moving movie ever, the story was seriously lacking! What was really sad, was seeing how sickly Brittany Murphy looked! I’m not sure if this was the last movie she made before her death, but you can tell that something was off. We all found her appearance to be very distracting throughout the movie! Overall, the movie would not be something I’d recommend. Unless, of course, you’re hosting your own Bad Movie Monday!

Fortunately, last night’s dinner was much better than the movie we watched.

A simple green salad and roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, and onion. I went back for seconds of the roasted veggies! They’re just SO tasty seasoned with Spike seasoning.

And while watching The Bachelor, I satisfied my sweet tooth with some dark chocolate:

I love Trader Joe’s 72% Dark Chocolate bars! They’re really affordable, and last me a week! Plus, they’re so rich that two pieces totally satisfy me. YUM.

Can anyone believe that Vienna is still on The Bachelor?! What the heck? I think the final 3 girls will be Tenley, Ali, and Gia, but you never know what kind of surprises they might throw at us! I have to say, I’m thoroughly enjoying this season, and I love that my husband loves it, too!

This morning, I started Day 2 of my February Challenge with my little “Morning Insurance Policy“

Fresh juice! I feel like starting my day off with fresh vegetable juice ensures that I’m filling my body with the nutrition it needs, and setting myself up for a healthy day. Drinking this does kind of feel like “health insurance.”

Check out all the fresh produce I stuffed in today’s juice:

A head of romaine, purple kale, one beet, one lemon, and one golden delicious apple. This created a very TART juice! I had to use my straw trick: stick a straw in the juice, aim it at the back of my throat, and gulp it down quickly so that I don’t taste it very much! Works great every time. After all, fresh juice begins to lose enzymes quickly, so I might as well chug it!
