Healthier Sweet Treat

I have a confession...I have a major sweet tooth! It began when I was younger and became worse when I was in middle school and playing sports! 

Recently, I have started paying more attention to the amount of sugar I am consuming. I have never really liked yogurt, but know it is a healthier sweet/desert option. One day at the grocery store, I picked up a new kind of Greek yogurt to try. I picked it because it was coffee and dark chocolate flavor and I knew the protein would help me feel full!

To my surprise, I really liked the flavor. The type of yogurt is pictured below. The particular flavor that I tried is 100 calories and has 12 grams of sugar, 8 grams of protein and only 1 gram of fat.

This has been my new sweet treat for the past couple of months and is far healthier than a brownie, cookie or slice of cake!

Change

Today, I just have a few thoughts on change. Change can be a scary word but it is an inevitable part of life and learning. Like the quote below states, it is our response to change that determines our fate. We can choose to dig our heels in our current ways, or we can learn about the change and accept it after learning about it!

If we fail to change, we are only harming ourselves by means of our own ignorance. So do we run towards change full speed ahead, not necessarily. I have learned that it is best to be informed before proceeding with change. By approaching change with caution, you can make an informed decision!
