Death Match: Che vs. Yogurt

I usually can't finish an entire container of yogurt. It's a mental thing. The consistency is like pudding, yet after one bite my taste buds are yelling "Fool! This isn't pudding!" I hate disappointing my taste buds. They're not ones you should cross.

Dan recommended that I try greek yogurt instead. He's not steered me wrong yet, so I purchased some with an open mind.

First bite warning: greek yogurt's texture is a lot like cottage cheese without the weird, chunky lumps. Because my buds were too busy trying to pinpoint the texture, I wasn't turned off immediately. Before the second bite, I crushed granola into it. The granola's sweetness and nutty crunch mixed with the honey flavored greek yogurt made for a perfect snack.

If you're going to make healthier life choices, you gotta try new things….even yogurt.

Diet Low: It's not ice cream :-(
Diet High: My taste buds aren't pissed off :-)

Che the Celeb!

“Life happens fast.” Ferris Bueller said it; so it must be true! It’s only been a couple of weeks, but Fox5’s Beth G contacted Body Solutions to cover the contest results. They wanted to meet the two “losers” Jomal & me, to find, first hand, our perspective of the contest. We made arrangements for the news teams to come to our house and witness how our life has changed. When I got news they were coming, I immediately started a honey-do list. My poor boyfriend worked out hanging, moving and arranging things in my apartment – (thanks babe!) Me? I cleaned and cleaned the same things over and over. Anything to focus my nervous energy.

When I get nervous, I hit two extremens. Either I munch on everything I get my hands on; or I won’t eat at all. This became a test of balance. I kept forgetting to eat, but when I realized what I was doing, I corrected the behavior with healthy choices. Once the crew arrived, Beth immediately put my best friend and I at ease. She’s easy to talk with. We covered diet, support systems and health secrets. As a whole, it’s ninja worthy. Let me know what you think!
