I’m doing my best now to be healthy. I honestly mean it. I’m exercising more, I can’t remember the last time I had any caffeine and  I’m eating better.  I do like all of this as well.

The eating better was pretty easy to swing into actually. Once you take all of the junk out of your house and replace it with things that are healthy (as well as tasty) it all falls into place. I enjoy my fresh fruit and veg and yes, even granola.  It just feels better knowing I am doing my body and mind good by doing all this.

However, there is one thing I just cannot not do (besides get rid of all chocolate and sugar items forever from my life) and that is eat plain, non-fat, yogurt. I have tried. Believe me, I have tried.  It’s supposed to be great for you. It helps your insides they way it helps your outsides.  It is filling and low in calories and has no fat. But try as I might, mixing it with everything from my high-protein granola and tasty, delicious  raisins and craisins I can’t get past (or rid of) that sweet, acrid taste of vomit that comes with every mouthful.

I am almost tempted to place plain yogurt in my “Things that shouldn’t be” category.  It’s just plain nasty should be what is on the label.  There is a reason it’s pumped full of sugar and filled with fruit or fruit flavoring.  It may compliment or be handy in cooking other meals but, when it’s consumed “raw” as it were, I feel as if my mouth is full of bile, bile and craisins. It’s not a nice combination.

So I’ve marked plain yogurt off my healthy living list. It’s just not gonna happen. Though that is okay, I still have the granola.
