Hello from Starbucks!
I am blogging from Starbucks this morning because I have to head back to the gym to work right after I press publish on this blog post and didn’t want to drive 15 minutes home only to turn around right after blogging + breakfast and drive 15 minutes back. Ryan and I drove separately to the gym this morning and while I stretched after my workout, he showered so he could drive immediately to work after our quick breakfast date at Starbucks.
We both love their egg white and spinach wraps and each ordered one to enjoy with our lattes (vanilla for me, chai for Ryan).
I adore the coffee shop environment first thing in the morning. It seems to have a sleepy buzz (oxymoron?) that makes me smile.
Workout
Before breakfast, I completed a workout that focused on my biceps and shoulders and incorporated drop sets. I tried to keep my heart rate up by including little bursts of cardio in the form of bosu burpees or one minute “sprints” on the elliptical. In and out in under an hour!
If You Were To Start (Another) Blog…
I have a rather random question for you guys today.
If you were going to start a blog, what would you want to blog about? Or, if you are a blogger already and had to change the overall focus of your blog or start another blog, what would you want to blog about?
I know this is kind of random, but I often think about other blogs I’d love to launch because I have a bunch of different interests. I feel fortunate that this blog follows my life and allows me to talk about many different things, but I think, in general, it seems to fall in the fitness or food niche. Of course I love chatting with you guys about workouts and recipes, but my life really isn’t all fitness and food and they’re just two of my many interests.
If I were going to start a blog with a new focus, I’d love to start a travel blog.
(Me and Ryan after conquering the Koko Head Crater Hike in Oahu. Unbelievably awesome!)
The way I feel when I travel is unlike anything else. I am a naturally curious person and traveling allows me to explore, ask questions and immerse myself in new surroundings. I think it would be so fun to share hotel and restaurant reviews but the highlight for me would be writing about adventures in various places. Recapping vacations or experiences in new locations are some of my favorite blog posts to write for PBF! (Highlight of my life? Scuba diving in the Galapagos Islands and visiting Machu Picchu last year.)
I’m sure writing a travel blog would be rather difficult though since updating it with new content would depend a lot on your personal travels.
I also have a few other random ideas for blogs/websites I’d love to launch and would love to set up a Daily Puppy-type website that features pictures of adorable adoptable dogs. (I actually already bought the domain AdoptablePuppy.com.) Maybe one day!
Question of the Morning
- If you were going to start a blog (or launch a new blog on a different topic) what would you want to blog about?

I’d love to read more about your travels! I write a travel blog now, and I totally relate to your passion for exploring 🙂 On a much less sexy subject, I’m about to start a new career as an insurance agent and am debating starting an insurance-related blog. I’ve got some ideas, but it would definitely be challenging to turn insurance into a topic that the average person wants to read about on a regular basis. We shall see!
I have wondered if I would start a fashion blog or something along those lines. I feel thought that I would have to buy new clothes a lot to have regular content to keep it updated with, plus I don’t love taking lots of photos of just me and posting them which is kind of a requirement for a fashion blog 😉
I have a healthy living blog, but always think about starting a blog that reviews products in a competitive kind of format. Like a “who makes the best” sort of review comparison.
I haven’t had my health and fitness blog for too long but if I could start another I think it would be on home design and DIY! I love seeing before and afters of home renovations and redesigns. When I was younger I wanted to be an interior designer. I’ve posted a few of my DIY and apartment decorations on my blog: http://healthmylifestyle.com/lettuce-wraps-and-sexy-legs/
i’ve branded my blog as a lifestyle blog for the reason that my whole life doesn’t fall into 1 or 2 categories. I like blogging about whatever is currently taking precedent in my life. A blog dedicated to travel would be so much fun. I personally love when you blog about your travels and life experiences just as much if not more than your food and exercise posts! 🙂
I miss your book posts!!
I have actually just started my first blog this week… a travel blog! In a few weeks, I’ll be traveling to the UK to student teach for five weeks. A blog seemed like the perfect way to keep my friends and family updated!
I’d love to hear anyone’s must-do or must-see tips for Europe! Check me out at http://missditillio.blogspot.com/
🙂
I just thought you should know that this post inspired me to start writing. I always tell people that my ultimate dream is to be a blogger. But I’m not doing anything about it? I’ve started writing for no one but myself and loving it.
That is so exciting! 🙂
