S is for Snacks

The letter "S" is for snacks. If any of you are like me, working out multiple times a week constantly leaves me hungry throughout the day.

Check out my quick ...

Reasons Why I Wake Up Early to Workout
I have determined the best time of day for me to get my workout in is first thing in the morning. It took a while for me to draw this conclusion but several things helped me get here.

It didn’t help – signing up for a half marathon did not actually make me train more or harder than I normally would.
