Get Your Coffee Fix Without the Guilt

By Toni Carey (@toni_carey/@blackgirlsrun) It's Friday, you got a job and you have a lot of stuff to do. If you're like me, each morning starts off with a big cup of coffee...specially Fridays. If I'm lucky (or have some extry pennies in my pocket), I head to the nearest Starbucks. Especially during the Fall. I'm a sucker for its seasonal drink menu! But I always have drinkers remorse (yes, that's a thing). The sugar, the calories.....you get it. But, I think I've found a formula! Read how I hacked the Starbucks Seasonal menu over at Zelle. My favorite ground rule in partaking of the black gold....

• If you must drink, drink in the morning.: Yes, we’re still talking about coffee here. Opt for your favorite drink in the morning so that you have the rest of the day to burn the calories.

Should you become a part of my Starbucks anonymous group? How do you experience the goodness of Fall without going overboard?   BY THE WAY....... That's right! You can now find yours truly over at Zelle, an online publication for women runners, by women runners. Because there is more to running than the training plan you use or how fast you can make it to the finish. #whatthezelle
