This is post is part of a compensated campaign from Activia. All opinions and embarrassing stories are my own.
My 30 days of Activia challenge are coming to a close, and I have to say, I did feel a difference!
Let me get real with you for a minute. Ever since my husband and I planned to stop with two biological kiddos, I’ve been paranoid about an unexpected pregnancy. Not that it would be terrible if I were to get pregnant, I just always tend to imagine what would happen if the opposite of what we planned to place. In this case, that means pregnancy.
Every. Single. Month now for two years I’ve been worried about pregnancy. Most months the bloating starts and my period is later than I think it should be, I have all the signs for a week or two and then aunt flow finally arrives. She has been known to be up to 20 days late for me, so there’s always this gray area of nervous waiting these days.
This month was a bit different though. I was doing the activia challenge, and when I started to get those yucky symptoms, it reminded me to eat my Activia yogurt, and it definitely made me feel better! As in, I didn’t think I was pregnant this month *wink-wink*!
No one likes to feel uncomfortable, bloated, gassy, or rumbling, including me, which makes me extra thankful for Activia. I keep some on hand in the fridge for whenever my tummy needs some extra help feeing it’s best, which, for me, is at least one week out of every month. Having a game plan for those weeks really helps, and having a yummy and healthy snack for my kids and me throughout the day is a huge help too!
Eating Activia twice a day for four weeks, as part of a balance diet and healthy lifestyle, may help reduce the frequency of minor digestive issues like bloating, gas, discomfort and rumbling.
I’ve tried so many of the different flavors this month but my all-time favorite has to be the strawberry with cereal in it. It adds just enough texture and flavor to the original strawberry and it’s perfect!
Activia offered one last giveaway and I’d like to say congrats to Sarah F and Joanie H for winning the last Activia Challenge giveaway! – If you want to keep in touch with Activia you can find them on Facebook and Twitter.
