Mmmmm, yogurt

I've alluded to the fact that I'm working on losing some weight, but haven't discussed it directly because . . . I don't know. I guess because I've never really wanted to talk about something so personal. But yeah, I'm trying to do the low carb thing, which, for someone who up until recently ate very little meat, is pretty difficult. But I'm working at it, and I've lost about 12 pounds in about six weeks, which I'm happy with.

I read this article a couple of weeks ago which made me feel much better about my usual yogurt breakfast. It says that although yogurt generally shows a lot of carbs on the label, if you go for the no-sugar kind, yogurt is probably actually a good thing to choose to eat. For a long time, I've been eating Blue Bunny Lite 85, which is sweetened with Splenda, tastes great, and only has 14 carbs as opposed to the regular kinds which have around 30.

My usual flavor is peach, it's the one that I've liked the most consistently, but I bought a carton of Black Forest this weekend, and I loved it! I was looking for some flavors that were more like dessert, since I can't really have dessert right now. Black Forest is chocolate yogurt, which I love, with cherry pieces in it. It was the cherry that I wasn't too sure about, but it was okay. Definitely okay. I can't remember what other ones I bought; my store didn't have a huge selection. I'll have to look around at some of the other grocery stores and see what they have. Piña Colada is an old favorite, but I've never tried the Lite 85 one. My store didn't have it.

This morning's breakfast was Belfonte Strawberry Cheesecake yogurt. I'm trying to widen my horizons. It was good, but not as good as the Blue Bunny, a little too bitter. It's sweetened with aspartame; I think I've become fond of Splenda.
