When is the best time of the day to work out? I exercise first
thing in the morning, without eating anything beforehand. I just
drink water before, during, and after my workout and then eat
breakfast about a half hour after I get back from the gym. Am I
compromising my workout in any way by not "fueling up"
beforehand?

Dear Early bird exerciser,
The best time to exercise is the time that's right for you.
Morning workouts really get some people going, release
endorphins, and enhance mood. If you enjoy starting your day with
a workout, or find that it's the only time you can fit it into
your schedule, stick with it. Others find afternoon or evening
workouts productive and stress-relieving. When you wake up, your
body temperature and blood sugar levels are low, so your muscles
aren't as "loose" as later in the day.

Years of trying unsuccessfully to conceive a child have broken
more than Angie DeSaria’s heart. Following a painful divorce,
she moves back to her small Pacific Northwest hometown and takes
over management of her family’s restaurant. In West End, where
life rises and falls like the tides, Angie’s fortunes will
drastically change yet again when she meets and befriends a
troubled young woman.
Angie hires Lauren Ribido because she sees something special in
the seventeen-year-old. They quickly form a deep bond, and when
Lauren is abandoned by her mother, Angie offers the girl a place
to stay. But nothing could have prepared Angie for the
far-reaching repercussions of this act of kindness. Together,
these two women-one who longs for a child and the other who longs
for a mother’s love-will be tested in ways that neither could
have imagined.

being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents
wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood
royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst
to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense
lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to
Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.
