Singing the Praises... In Greek


I believe whole-heartedly in the Mark passage that addresses that what is most important to God is what comes out of the heart, not what goes in to the mouth.

A registered dietician may disagree; I will err on the side of God’s word.

That being said, I still have to give a shout out to the wisdom God gave to some scientist on the Yoplait payroll.  Blessed be Yoplait’s Greek frozen yogurt (with strawberry swirl).  Oh my goodness.

My husband recently said I am the only one he knows who can drop weight while traveling and eating at restaurants and fast food places for two of three meals every day for a week.  Well let me tell you, traveling was no cupcake.  But it sure had some icing on it!  Woohoo, let's PCS again!  

We figured it out, though: while traveling, I didn’t have access to my freezer, and therefore did not have access to the ice cream that had somehow started to, once again, sneak its way back in to my appliance.

Was it really that simple?

And so when I encountered this dessert, and forked over the money for the novelty, I almost leaped with joy.  I might be able to permanently terminate at least 2 cm worth of my muffin if I eat this stuff.  Seriously awesome.  Compare the nutrition facts and it is great news.

Even better, it is truly truly frozen.  I mean, it is so frozen that I lose heart trying to scoop it out after six failed attempted scoopings.  I even have one of those fancy Pampered Chef scoopers, and it doesn’t work well in this tundra-ted dessert.

So the fact that I will be eating LESS of this frozen treat than what I normally eat of ice cream will keep the 2 cm of muffin off my top.

I KNOW God cares more about what comes out of my heart than what goes into my mouth.

But I have to pass along this amazing discovery.  Frozen Greek yogurt?  Glory be.
