Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi Physical Health Eat Well I admit, I used to be on the fat-free yogurt trend. I've come around to the creamy richer variety, though. Being lactose intolerant, I get about a spoonful or two of yogurt, max, each day. I love it for its tangy creaminess, and I've realized the value of having a food (especially in the morning) that keeps me full longer. Plus, it's better for cooking. https://www.tastecooking.com/short-rant-nonfat-yogurt/ Be Active I know you've read a lot of what is supposed to be motivational material to keep you moving, get you in the new fitness routine, blah blah blah.

This workout is 4 rounds of 6 moves. You'll do the 6 moves 20 seconds on, 10 off and then those same 6 moves for 30 seconds each non-stop. Then you'll move on to the next round of 6 new moves.

We made this chicken last weekend and it was so very tasty. You can double, if you are feeding a crowd. I haven't yet tried it, but I think it would be awesome on grilled veggies, too.
