Good yogurt costs money.
Yogurt doesn't have to be Greek; a lot of store brand "regular" yogurts are pretty cheap and are often flavored and sweetened with regular sugar and aren't low calorie. Peanut butter is always an easy one for me; I hardly ever eat it because of how quickly it adds up when I eat it. I like a thick layer and will even eat a heaping tablespoon or two right out of the jar. One of the local stores has a great deal on fried chicken drumsticks in the deli. I would have no trouble packing on the extra calories. As much as I whine and complain about trying to get down a little further, it's pretty amazing that I have stayed below goal for 8 months.

Pretty much right at goal yesterday with no exercise. I will get some exercise today; a few TRX circuits. May head up to the gym near work tonight or early AM tomorrow.
