Who's There?

Hi friends! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I'm currently sitting out on our patio, letting the sun shine away some bad-day blues. There's nothing like good weather to cheer you up!

While out last night, I was talking to my friend Lauren a bit about the blog. She told me she'd introduced it to a few friends and family members of hers, and I was really honored. It got me to thinking though- just who out there is reading? I hear back from a fair amount of people in the comments section, but sometimes I'm curious to know just who my lurkers are. Even before I began my own blog, I had a Reader full of sites that I rarely commented on, and I kind of felt like a creeper when I first started making myself known. So, if you've ever wanted to say hi, don't be shy! And if you want to stay under wraps, that's cool too :) I love my readers regardless!

This morning's workout started off with about a mile on our garage elliptical before I realized that it was far too beautiful a day to exercise inside! I did a 40 minute loop around our neighborhood without my Garmin, which allowed me to just enjoy myself. It's been over a month since my last run, so it was nice to ease into it.

Lunch was very warm-weather appropriate!


I made a smoothie by blending:
 - two scoops chocolate rice protein powder
 - two large spoonfuls Tropical Traditions coconut peanut butter
 - one cup vanilla almond milk
 - one spoonful cocoa powder
 - one large banana, broken into chunks
 - one serving Amazing Grass chocolate superfood powder


On the side, I had a big bunch of grapes and a crisp Fuji apple. 


Warm weather = fruit cravings out the wazoo.

Happy almost weekend!

How many blogs do you read/comment on? I have over 100 subscriptions in my Reader, but only comment on a fraction of them each day. It's tough to keep up!
