Triple Yay for Friday!

I cannot tell you how glad I am that it's Friday!  This has been one long, busy week.  Not much to report, still staying on track and I hope to have a good report for weigh-in on Monday. 

Random Topic:  Yogurt.  I'm not a big fan of yogurt.  I wish I was because I know that it's good for you and I just think it's cozy, lol. I just don't like that sour twang, it reminds me of eating sour cream.  The only yogurt that I can really stand is Dannon Light & Fit - it's not as sour.  Needless to say, I also do not like greek yogurt, which is even more sour, but I wish I did like it because I know that it's good for you and I would love to get in all that extra protein.  So, when I saw that Dannon came out with Light & Fit Greek I had to give it a try.  Guess what?  I liked it!!  It's the only greek that doesn't have that sour twang that I despise.  There is also a tiny bit of fruit on the bottom which helpes with the sourness, too.  Another giant plus is, so many of the other greek yogurts that I've tried are all about 130 calories versus the 80 calories of the DL&FG (that's also 2 ww pp v. 4).  That's exciting for me.  I had some for my lunch yesterday and stayed so full for the rest of the afternoon that I didn't even eat my usual afternoon snack of almonds.

The weather here in Virginia is supposed to reach 70° tomorrow and Sunday!  Hot damn!  The usual temp. for this time of year here is in the 40's.  I'm going to get out and walk this weekend and get some fresh air. LOVE IT!  (To my CA buddies - I saw that you were supposed to get snow!  Even in southern California!!  Has it reached where you are? WTH is going on??)

Have a great weekend all!

  1. It was icy cold this morning--21 degrees--but no snow. It's in the forecast for both tonight and Saturday night, so we'll see. A few years back when I live in SoCal it snowed in Malibu--on the beach--crazy.

  2. I'm not a huge fan of yogurt either - it's just not as satisfying to me as something I actually chew. (I also dont' like to drink my calories, for the same reason.). But I do like the vanilla flavor, and I enjoy it when I top it with something crunchy. I've decided that in the future, I will limit it to only occasionally when I have a smoothie, or in a small portion as a topping for fruit.

    Enjoy your warm weekend!

  3. IT has been VERY cold for us even close to the beach in Southern Cali! For instance, right now, it's 34!!!! Crazy cold by our standards! We usually have frost or frost warnings maybe 2-3 nights a year. It's been constant for over a week now, and only warming up to 54-55. Crazy that you are going to be 70!

    I love Fat Free Yoplait. But I limit it, because of the artificial sugar. Glad you found something you like, though! :D
