Wildwood Probiotic Soy Yogurt

This not-to-appetizing in name soy yogurt was purchased at Fresh & Easy, which is a small market near my work, for 99 cents.

I'm not sure if it is sold elsewhere, but I can tell you that I have tried soy yogurt in the past and was rather displeased with the strange taste. It's tough to describe, but the bean-y flavor of soy, normally not very detectable in other soy products, gets magnified x 100 in yogurt.

But the fact that this soy yogurt came with additional antibiotics to help me if I needed to eat some regular yogurt to clear my taste buds had me sold. I can eat normal (milk) yogurt for the most part, though I almost always choose Greek due to the additional probiotics it contains.

This yogurt was actually decent. The blueberry flavor was great and probably covered up any weird "bean-y" taste, the texture was a little off but not too bad, and I did not need to eat anymore yogurt that day.

If you're adventurous, feel free to try this out yourself. It also comes in a peach flavor that I have yet to try...

Yes, this entry was 3 months in the making if you check out the snap date of that picture. Because I just turned in a dissertation draft and am NEARLY DONE with my last real class in school, this is the first weekend in ages in which I had time to do stuff that I normally don't, such as:

- clean my room, which was a dire need
- do my laundry, when I usually frantically do it during the week when I realize I've run out of undergarments
- go over my final project presentation, which is tomorrow (I usually just wing it)
- went out with the boyfriend worry-free, attended my sister's play, watched TV, packed for the week
- transferred some bank funds
- checked my credit (and squirmed at the amount of debt I have)

I did not, however, do any running this weekend. My weird knee thing was faintly trying to resurface in the middle of this past week, and there is no way I'm taking any chances with it. It's just not worth it. Plus, I think the wind has sent my nose and throat for a loop, and frankly, I have been very tired lately due to a lack of sleep. Tomorrow, however, is another story.

(Note: I ended up putting everyone's retweets starting after the comments when it came to numbering the entries.) Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon. (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was a sprint/track

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews with me to keep me going on a hot day. I got through those 15 miles eating these, versus normal gels. I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason. Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes. Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too! Each pack is about 140 calories. The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times. This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below? It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!! I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands. "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands . They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on! They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down. Or is that just me? My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit. Unfortun
