Notes: Epic morning at the YMCA. I got the day off of work by surprise! I took advantage of my free time for a leisurely/long workout followed by my new favorite thing- the steam room. Aaaahhhhh..... So anyways, later I was out running errands and I was hitting hungry. I tried to stop for a healthy snack at Starbucks, but they didn't have anything good enough for me. I tried to stop at Panera, and whoa- eye-opener!! You would think you could do alright there, but I don't know, it is still fast food! I asked to see a nutrition guide and not only did they not have an easy chart-like one printed up, they handed me a huge binder with everything they sell in it, each thing with it's own page. What the hell!!! I thought it was hilarious, and I just hung out at the counter reading through it for a while. Did you know there is a full printed page of ingredients in their French onion soup? That the trail mix bagel has the same amount of calories as the (delicious, drooool) cinnamon crunch bagel (430?) I wasn't kidding when I said that figuring out how to eat is the job of a lifetime.... I got sort of tired of reading and grossed out by the ingredients lists so I didn't order anything at all, and headed home instead. Where I had waited so long to snack I gorged a little on hummus and crackers.... c'est la vie!
