Winter workouts

I hate waking up before sunrise! It also feels like there's not enough daylight hours after work... I know a possible solution is…

My life changed today. Pho is my absolute favorite food and I’ve missed it so much. Made my own today with sugar free broth and shiratake noodles. It seriously tastes the EXACT same and has 1 carb per bowl. I could cry
