Happy Thursday! 🙂 This week is flying by….. I have been so busy getting back into the groove of things after such a long holiday. I have been focusing on work as well as working out and cooking a lot. I just tried my first Barre class last night…. I liked it! What is your favourite way to exercise?! This vegan “Pho” noodle bowl is so yummy. I don’t usually eat pho as it is meat and seafood based  dish but this one is healthy and delicious. It’s also super easy to make!
Is anyone following my 7 day reset diet? If so I would love to hear how your doing?! I feel much better not eating bread and cheese….but I do miss it so! 😉
