What Matters Most

By

^^^I LOVE this quote. It is the answer to so many questions about life, priorities, and big decisions. And it’s a reminder to not sweat the small stuff.

Speaking of sweating, I’ve been loving the sauna before my workouts lately! I try to get to the gym 15 minutes before class starts and go in there to warm up. It has the same effect that “just put on your workout clothes” does to get you more pumped for a workout. I pretend it’s July and I’m about to jump in a pool! I just wear my workout clothes because I leave before I really start to sweat, so it’s easy to pop in and out. My muscles always say thank you when we start the class warm-up!

Speaking of workout classes, I’ve been lifting less weight this year. Last year I REALLY pushed myself and got a lot stronger. But during the fall, when I was playing in two soccer games per Sunday, I started to take Mondays off of strength class and then still grabbed my same weights on Wednesdays. The result of going from two to one strength training classes a week is that I got a little weaker without realizing it and then hurt myself a few times. So now I’m a notch lower on all weight fronts, but I’m still feeling good and tired at the end of class. The ole guns don’t seem all that much smaller :mrgreen:

Speaking of soccer, I am not planning to play in the women’s league this spring, which makes me really sad. Last spring and fall I was just playing SO MUCH soccer on Sundays – sometimes up to three games – and it was hard to walk at the end of the day. I love both women’s league and co-ed, but, since I am the captain of co-ed and have been with my team for three years now, I decided to let women’s league go. I’m hoping I can still come back and sub for some games though!

And speaking of Sundays, I think Mazen and I are taking a little excursion this Sunday, since there is no school on Monday. Stay tuned!

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
