Chobani - a yogurt that really deserves its own blog post

Have you all tried Chobani greek yogurt? It is freakin' delicious. The pineapple is my favorite. It is super creamy and filling and better than you can imagine. It is 2% fat and I never really knew how important 2% fat could be until I tried this yogurt. "But I can't have 2.5 grams of fat! I'll just die!" No, you won't. And the little bit of fat with all the protein in it will keep you full for hours so you don't polish of your hidden Ben and Jerry's at 3 pm.

There are a few of the fat free flavors that I really like too, like peach and raspberry.

I like pomegranate too, but some people don't like the fact that there are real pomegranate seeds in it. I love those.

I am really looking forward to the new flavors Chobani is putting out:
Mango! Lemon! Yum!!!

These yogurts are more expensive than the puny ones you are used to buying. However, my local grocery store has them on sale all the time for $1 a piece. Besides that, they come in 6 oz portions, and many of the puny ones are only 4 oz. Did I mention 13g of protein?

I have to say that I love this brand so much that I've not tried any others. Anyone have any other recommendations?

Resolutions

This year I decided to do monthly resolutions instead of the customary New Year's goals. I need a frequent fresh start. My January resolutions were:

1. Run over 30 miles. Not all at once. I'm not crazy. Also, record all workouts in my fancy new running journal. That will actually be harder for me than running 30 miles. Sadly, I'm not kidding. I really struggle to stay organized.

2. Keep my closet clean.

3. Plan meals for all weeks by the end of the weekend for the following week.

4. Scrapbook at least 4 pages.

5. Take at least 31 photos. Good ones. Not one every day, but an average of one per day at least.

How did I do?
1. Ran 30.5 miles in January! Marked each of them down in my running journal!
2. My closet looks as beautiful as it did when I spent an entire afternoon cleaning it out in December. :)
3. For all but one week, I did well planning meals and getting necessary groceries ahead of the week. The one bad week was really bad. I'm a mess if I don't have a plan.
4. Scrapbooked 10 pages.
5. Took many more than 31 photos. Here are some highlights:



My February resolutions are:

1. Run 40 miles. I am already behind schedule so I better get moving.
2. Plan a new recipe into my meal planning each week.
3. Make a dessert at least once a week. I'm not really into dessert anymore, but it makes my family very happy when I make one.
4. Scrapbook 4 pages.
5. Take 28 photos.

Keeping it simple in hopes that I can establish a few habits.
