Torture Comes in All Forms


Nothing but good....psh...nothing but good my arse!   Ok, so I put my brave cap on and tried some greek yogurt.  It was vanilla flavored and it was disgusting!   Supposedly greek yogurt is an acquired taste.  I was only able to stomach about half the cup.  I have two other flavors that I will try but if I have not "acquired" the taste by then, it's bye, bye, to greek yogurt. 

It kind of tasted like sour cream gone bad...not bad like rotten, but bad as in not quite right.  *Sigh*  I am hoping the other flavors will redeem greek yogurt for me cause it is an excellent source of protein and calcium but there is only so much I will do in the name of "living healthier" and greek yogurt may not be one of them. 

Anywho,  here is a glimpse of my workout schedule:

Monday: Lift + Sprints
Tuesday:  Active Recovery
Wednesday:  Long Run  (I ran 3.12 miles today in 40 minutes.  That includes my warm up but not my cool down.)
Thursday:  Yoga
Friday:  Lift + Intervals
Saturday:  Tempo
Sunday:  Off  (What a beautiful word!)

Rinse. Repeat.  I have to admit, so far what the trainer has me running is easier than what I was putting myself through BUT I am pretty sure her runs are more effective training wise.  The lifting is definitely kicking my butt...my quads are still screaming at me.  I have been avoiding using the bathroom cause it hurts to sit.  Also going down stairs is a cruel form of torture.  I found that if I turn my body sideways it isn't as bad.  Pathetic. I know.  Hopefully yoga tomorrow will help a little with the soreness...

XoXo,

I thought the same thing about Greek Yogurt, but now I kind of like it! I've found that if I buy the plain vanilla and add my own fruit, blueberries and strawberries being my favorite, that I like it better than the flavored kinds. I can't eat normal yogurt anymore (I gag and can't even swallow it -- NO JOKE!) as I OD'd on it last year, but Greek yogurt is still okay for me. Also, if I have the time and energy to make granola, I find that to be a nice addition also! FYI...I miss you!

You know the thought of mixing it with granola crossed my mind as I was eating it...but that would require me to find a granola I like! Baby steps, baby steps =) These next ones have fruit on the bottom...that could be very good or very bad. Only time will tell! And... I miss you too!
