I have discovered that I like yogurt.
And for those of you who know me well, this will come as quite a shock. I have NEVER liked yogurt in my life. I've even tried to like yogurt because, you know, it's good for you. Calcium and all that. So how did this change come about?
I'm not quite sure. I think it started with seeing a Yoplait Chocolate Whips commercial on tv a few weeks ago. The next time I went to the store I thought I would try one. It being chocolate and all. What could go wrong with that? I picked up a chocolate Whips and a strawberry Whips and I ended up liking both! I still don't know how that happened. How could I like these when I haven't liked any other yogurt so far (besides frozen yogurt. Mmm...).
Then I went to the store the next week and picked up a few more Whips. But right next to the Whips were Yoplait Thick 'N Creamy Custart Style in Blackberry and I had to try that one. And it was good. I think I like the Custart Style even better than the Whips! I don't know if it's just Yoplait brand or just those two particular kinds. I haven't worked myself up to trying any other ones yet but this just might become a trend.
In other news, I got on the scale the other day and I have successfully lost TWO WHOLE POUNDS!!!! Only 8 more to go on this 10 lb challenge. I have for the most part been staying within my calorie guidelines, I've been eating way less sugar than is normal for me, being a sugar addict and all. It's interesting that once you know what is in the foods you are eating and how bad they are for you and what it's going to cost if you eat it you practically lose the desire for those foods. I slip up more on the weekends because I'm out of my normal routine. I'm gonna have to work on that.
And I've been exercising nearly every day. I go walking, work out on my gym ball, or dance around the apartment (I'm sure my downstairs neighbors love that!). Aphrodite comes walking with me on Mondays and it's so much better to exercise when you've got someone there to chat with while you're doing it. The time just flies. It's been really nice spending more time with Aphrodite. Neither one of us has ever really had a lot of girl friends but we just get eachother. We're so similar it's almost scary but just enough different that we don't hate eachother!
Anyways, that's the latest update on the 10 lb challenge. More news to come I'm sure.
