New Obsession of the Week/Month: Chobani!

Sooooo I have another obsession to share...

This time its Chobani.
If you don't know, Chobani is flavored greek yogurt, and its aaaahmazing.

The flavors are GREAT and there are so many.. I counted at least ten flavors.
And greek yogurt is GREAT for you!

Greek yogurt is made using some way-old straining technique that magically leaves the yogurt with twice as much protein as normal yogurt and nice and creamy. Each serving has around 140 calories and 14g of protein! The low-fat yogurt has 3g of fat, while the non-fat has ZERO!

My faves right now are the black cherry, and peach.

0% Black Cherry0% Peach

Hop on over to www.chobani.com and click on coupons to save on a couple of chobanis!

Warning: plain greek yogurt is kind of sour. Don't get the plain kind unless you plan on mixing in your own fruit and maybe some granola. Then it would be do-able.

Obsession of the Week

What am I all about this week?


Thats right.... Turbofire!

Turbofire is a Fitness program made by Beachbody, the makers of p90X.

Some of you may know that I started p90X in January. I did about 6 full weeks of the 12 week p90X program and got a little bored... I was also having A LOT of serious wrist pain in my left wrist due to a lot of push ups and Yoga.
Anyways, once you start doing one of these programs, you feel like you HAVE to be doing one at all times. They are tough. Once you get used to that amount of exercise 6 days a week, it starts to feel weird to not work out. I noticed Turbofire and decided to try it out!

Turbofire is a mix of kickboxing, aerobics and dance. there are 12 different workouts in the program. I would say that about 75% of them are pure cardio, with maybe one strength, one core and a couple of stretching DVDs. There is a schedule that tells you exactly which workout to do on each day for 12 weeks.


Turbofire uses High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to help you burn more calories even after you are done working out.

I'm really enjoying it so far.... more than I like p90X in the beginning, so maybe that will help me stick with it better? Who knows!

What are you loving this week?! Are you obsessed?
