The Hunger Games ♥

Please note: It's recently been brought to my attention that there are a few grammatical errors in my posts. I would just like to say they're an accident! It's because I'm usually in a huge rush (today is no exception) to complete and post them. I'm sure you've noticed that I forgot a word and it's because I'm speed typing haha! Today the spacing between paragraphs is funky because I don't have enough time to mess around with the layout. So please bare with me :)
 
So I went to see The Hunger Games movie last night. Of course, with theaters comes chocolate (my krypotonite) and I could not resist because I totally took a hit off of a joint before I went in (Ha!Ha). So stoned little old me goes to Shoppers Drug Mart and what do you know? My favourite Cadbury milk chocolate bar (the hazelnut one) is on sale for $4.00 and a large bag of peanut M&Ms (another favourite) are on sale for $1.99. I was completely done both before the movie was half way through! I devoured them like I had never tasted chocolate before. THAT'S what happens when you smoke weed kids. You get cravings (the munchies), you give into your cravings, you spend every penny you have in a convenient store and then you get FAT. So when I get home from the city today.. I'll have to do some crazy friggan work out! Which I will post tomorrow.  

But let's deal with my guilty feelings right now and teach you readers about the BENEFITS of chocolate ;) I did some research when I got home last night and this morning when I woke up. Only to find that there are some wonderful things about chocolate that people do not speak about enough! 

10 Health Benefits of Chocolate:

• Chocolate reduces stroke risk
• Chocolate boosts heart health
• Chocolate fills you up ;)
• There's evidence that say chocolate may fight diabetes
• Chocolate protects your skin
• Chocolate can quiet coughs
• Chocolate boosts your mood! :)
• Chocolate improves blood flow
• Chocolate improves your vision
• Chocolate may make you smarter ;)

...Of course most of these don't really apply to peanut M&M's but I'd like to make believe they do!


Now, onto my thoughts and feelings about the movie. I will post a spoiler alert before I ruin anything for those of you who have yet to see it. First and foremost I need to say that I wish they had picked a more attractive Peeta. Simply for the fact that they portray him to be this perfect, funny and charismatic guy in the book and in the movie - he's kinda boring. The feelings between Peeta and Katniss didn't seem as strong as they did in the book and they definitely didn't show enough of Gale and Katniss. However I did miss the first part of the movie due to my undeniable cravings. I started watching right before they announced the tributes. I also didn't fall in love with Rue the way I did in the book. I thought her acting was very poor. *SPOILER ALERT* I wasn't nearly upset when she died in the movie as I was in the book. *END OF SPOILER ALERT* I will give them credit for Caesar and Effie though. They chose impeccable actors to play both parts and I think I can speak for everyone when I say that they both met the expectations of the readers. I also think that Jennifer Lawrence did a really great job as Katniss. 

 He's totally flippin' dreamy! ♥ 

My friend Shannon is coming to the city with me today for my doctor's appointment. Here's our favourite picture of us from my crazy 20th birthday. It was taken right before we ran out the door to catch our cab to the bar. 

We've been the greatest of friends since I was in grade 9. Words cannot express enough how much I appreciate this girl's friendship. I love her to to death! ♥


I'm skipping my smoothie today, GAHHH! I literally feel like I'm going to die. Chocolate last night AND I have to skip my green smoothie today?! Fudge!! I don't have any frozen berries right now! I have to pick some up when I get back from the city. Speaking of picking up food... I've noticed how easy it is to make a grocery list now that I'm eating healthy. When you're thinking about starting to eat healthier it's really difficult to come up with meal plans and shopping lists. However, once you actually start cutting things from your diet it becomes easier and totally natural to make a grocery list that contains nothing but vitamins, nutrients and wholesome "do your body" GOOD-ness!


I'm in a hurry to get out the door so I will have to post a recipe tomorrow or later today when I get back. I may even post my work out! It will be my first "two post" day! Stay tuned! 


Love, Happiness and Inspiration always,
