Which Would You choose??

Well I am back to feeling better today YAY....I first will do some foodie updates from yesterday when I was NOT feeling so great. I started out the morning with an AWESOME spin class!! I seriously am in LOVE with the instructor. She is so awesome and really pushes us out of our comfort zones, which she certainly accomplished!

I brought a delicious wrap and salad to work. The wrap was great! But the salad was looking at me the wrong way. When I am sick, all the roughage from the salad just does not sit well. So in the cafe I went with some old school chicken noodle soup (from Au Bon Pain)


Chicken Noodle Soup (look at that chunk o' chicken)



Josephs lavash wrap w/ homemade tuna salad (greek yogurt & mustard) sprouts, tomato, laughing cow wedge

This was delicious!! the combo of the soup and wrap really hit the spot! However my appetite continued to be very strange. Do you ever get those 'bottomless pit days' where you feel like you could eat anything and everything in site?? well yesterday was one of those for me!

Snack time rolled around and I was so looking forward to this beautiful bar!


By far my favorite Lara Bar, The banana bread. It tastes like heaven in a wrapper!! I was so sad when It was over. I crumbled it up and put it on the greek yogurt-all time favorite snack


*How do  you eat YOUR Lara Bar?**


I also Munched on this a few hours later


Cortland Apple with Justin's PB decorated on it (doesn't it look like a scary face??) Ahh I am so in the halloween spirit can ya tell??
