Monday In Meals + Quinn’s Bedroom Revamp

By

Good morning! Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂

It’s time for another edition of Monday In Meals where I share what I ate throughout the day. Yesterday was kind of an interesting day of eating because we had quite a few leftovers/foods on their last legs that needed to be used up (roasted sweet potatoes, kale, Bang Bang Buffalo Cauliflower, guacamole, grape tomatoes). I absolutely hate seeing food go to waste, so I did my best to incorporate what we had on-hand into yesterday’s meals, so it was kind of like how we eat at the end of the week versus the beginning of the week. Anyway, here’s my Monday In Meals with a “before” and “after” from Qman’s bedroom revamp!

  • Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with roasted potatoes, kale, and ketchup + iced coffee with coconut creamer and collagen
  • Post-workout: Protein shake + Pecan Sticky Bun iced coffee
  • Lunch: Tuna salad with Bang Bang Buffalo Cauliflower and ranch dressing + half of a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough LARABAR (aka THE BEST flavor ever)
  • Snack: Honey Nut Cheerios with sliced banana and almond milk
  • Dinner: Maple Ginger Pork Chops with mashed potatoes and kale (recipe from ButcherBox)
  • Dessert: Valentine’s Day sugar cookie

Quinn’s Bedroom Revamp

Ok, so Quinn’s bedroom was a work in progress since we moved into our new house 1.5 years ago. We set it up with all of the essentials… his bed, dresser, a shelf, but then… we never did anything else. In August, I actually snapped the photos below with the intention of them being “before” photos because we were finally going to decorate. Sadly, nothing happen for the next, oooh, 5 months. Whomp whomp.

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

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
