Ughhhh... Fake "Greek" yogurt has killed me & mom!! We both had what we thought was Greek yogurt yesterday and it KILLED our stomachs! She had it for breakfast and i had it for lunch in a parfait- HUGE mistake!! We had stomach cramps all day and the pain was no fun! The only Greek yogurt that doesn't do this to us is Chobani plain Greek yogurt. Mom tried the Simply 100 flavored one yesterday from Chobani and it still did it. When reading packing yesterday at the grocery store I noticed that Simply 100 is worse than the regular Chobani flavored so I grabbed several regular Chobani flavored yogurts, I will try them and let you know the results! So far, only Chobani plain doesn't give us stomach cramps. Looks like we have stayed true to our no dairy!!
Went grocery shopping yesterday, I WAS A CHAMP!!! I switched baby carrots (they are SUPER processed) for regular bulk carrots, I got bulk instead of bagged so I could pick out all the best ones! Mom sent me a list of things to buy organic and chicken was one of them, it was 25% off yesterday so I got 8 organic chicken breasts for only $12- YEA!!! I also got 3 new vegetables to try- fresh beets (had last night- AMAZING), eggplant and baby portabella mushrooms. TONS of fruits and veggies, I ran out of room in my fruit & Veggie drawers in the fridge so I have spinach, beets, lettuce and mushrooms on the shelf too haha. I took all of the veggies out of the bags so you can see them all when you open the drawers, it makes them look way more appealing and even just last night I found myself reaching for more veggies because of it- highly recommend it!
Our house is totally challenge friendly right now. Lots of snacks still like granola bars, pop tarts, fruit snacks, etc. for Jonathan but I haven't craved them at all and haven't had ANY since the challenge started so I am doing great!! On the counter right now I have a 3 tiered bowls- bottom is shelled peanuts, middle is for peanut shells and top has almonds. The other side has a 2 tiered fruit holder- top is STUFFED with bananas, bottom has sweet potatoes and oranges and I had to take out a crystal bowl next to it for apples. The fridge is packed with yummy veggies, fruit and Greek yogurt ready to eat too! Everything is out in the open, easy to reach and ready to eat. That's what I call a successful challenge household!!
