It reminds me of white wine....very dry....and I feel as if I need to drink a gallon of water to rehydrate after I've eaten it.
Today is the first day of a new year and I'm about 15 minutes away from my first workout of 2012. Yaaaay! Off I go!

Anti-yogurt here because I am anti-dairy. But, I promise to save my "dairy can fuel cancer cells" position for the cancer thread! ha. I sure do miss dairy, though!
My partner used to make homemade greek yogurt for me. If anyone wants it, I will seek out the recipe. It makes 4-5 cups of plain yogurt, then I would throw in a teaspoon of red raspberry Smuckers...it was delicious! Much cheaper than buying.
Ok, so I came back to the thread and highlighting Gemmes post to say that I too, am back in the game when it comes to consistent exercise!
My goal is 5 eliptical workouts per week. I did hit my goal this week with 6 out of 7. Excellent! The error I made in the past was trying to work out in the morning. The reality is I just am too much of a zombie to do that. Doing it after work keeps me consistent. When I get home from work I eat a large tablespoon of almond butter to satisfy my rumbling stomach, and then I hit the eliptical. The poor dog has now deduced which set of sneakers means he gets a walk versus which set I use on the eliptical. He no longer gets all excited when he sees the black ones come out. Poor guy. But, how smart!
(don't feel too bad for him. He still gets a walk several times per week and gets a long, long hike in the woods every weekend!).
Ok, so I am off to hit the machine right now!
