High Low High 14

By

Hello, hello and a very happy Monday to you!

How was your weekend? Do anything fun? Feeling good about the week ahead?

Once again, our weekend was jam-packed. It was all fun stuff, so I’m totally not complaining, but it seems like it was just Friday. Holy cow, it was a whirlwind weekend for sure. Anyway, I love a good High Low High post as a way to recap the weekend, so here we go with edition #14!

HIGH: Visiting friends and celebrating their little guy’s first birthday with an adorable under the sea party theme. Isn’t this cake amazing!?

LOW: Qman throwing up on the drive home. There was a buttload of stop and go traffic and he was in the backseat reading a book, so the combination of the two gave him motion sickness. Poor kid.

HIGH: Unpacking our fall decorations! Yayyyyyy!

LOW: Realizing that we need more fall decorations! Haha! Things definitely look a bit bare around the house, so I will be hitting up Homegoods later this week.

HIGH: Having friends over on Saturday night for take-out Greek food, drinks, and football. It was such a good time and we had SO MANY LAUGHS!

LOW: Waking up on Sunday morning and realizing I probably had a little too much fun. Oy. Getting old is tough.

HIGH: Getting back on track with a meal plan from Designed to Fit Nutrition! We recently added some new recipes, so I’m especially excited to try them out this week!

LOW: Having a brand new meal plan and high motivation, but then barely having any (healthy) food in the house. Whomp whomp. (I went to Trader Joe’s later that morning.)

HIGH: Attending the Cycle & Sweat Fitness Block Party at the Derby Street Shoppes. What a fun event. Full recap coming soon!

LOW: Realizing that my new purple leggings show sweat in some rather inappropriate areas, which means they’re now “lifestyle” (not workout) leggings. I am one sweaty gal. Haha!

HIGH: Using my new diaper bag and absolutely loving it! It has tons of pockets, compartments, and accessories, and it’s truly the perfect size– roomy, but not TOO big. It could totally double as a regular purse. I actually like it even more than my old one AND it cost like half the price!

LOW: Ok, I really did love my previous diaper bag, so it was a little sad getting rid of it. So, here’s what happened: We had a little vomit incident last month, and I just couldn’t get the smell out. No matter what I tried, it smelled like a puke-y, fishy aquarium. Blah. It just had to go.

HIGH: Making progress in our master closet (i.e. adding recessed lighting, taking down ugly shelving, patching holes, and painting) because we’re getting a new one later this week! So pumped!!!!!

HIGH: Finally buying a tripod, so I can make some workout videos for you guys! Any requests? Smile

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
