Coconut Mocha Smoothie

It’s so weird to be in a place I called home for ten years and feel so lost. I’ve lived in this house since 2004 and it never really felt like home to me, even when I was living in that house four years ago, repainted, replaced furniture I hated with furniture I loved and adopted a baby kitten and raised her in this cabin amidst the pines. Being here now in the cabin for a week with out my cat family and my boyfriend, most of my belongings moved out as my brother and I sand, paint and repair and get ready to place this house on the market, I just feel lonely being in this empty house.
Plus I feel pissed and angry after my last Air B and B guest smoked in the house and I can’t remove the smoke smell to save my life. I feel like I’m breathing in second-hand smoke cancer with every great breath of air my lungs take.
This is the mountains; pine trees and fresh air, why would you come hereand smoke and leave your trash and cigarette butts in this wonderful forest home?
Anyways, my way of coping is intense interval training work outs that leave my muscles aching and my skin clammy.
After an intense interval Insanity work out is the most delicious recovery drink and breakfast.
I am absolutely in love with this Garden of Life brand RAW protein powder from Whole Foods. I just wish it was so not so sweet. It’s hard to find a protein powder that is not sweetened and this one like many others is sweetened with Stevia.
