From C-ville To Chi-ville

By

Boy it was a long day! I went from a creek-side run to the big city! Gus and I ran a fast 5K down the greenway and back, and I wrapped up all loose ends before leaving for the airport. Lunch was a quick sandwich with ham, manchego, pickles, jalapenos, and greens.

My flight was delayed a bit, but since the Cville airport is so nice I was able to sit and work on the free wifi for a few hours. Flying over Cville is stunning – all green hills and mountains. I love where I live, small airport and all! I love the concept of urban city living, but I am definitely a small town girl at heart.

Since when does American offer Biscoff!! That sure was a pleasant surprise!

The cab process went smoothly but gosh, Chicago, your traffic! It took me over an hour to get from the airport to my destination sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. I can barely handle the stoplights in Cville!

I honestly do not know how you guys live in big cities. I would be so overwhelmed with all of the good dining options that I would be food-poor and eat out every night. I would have to try them all!

We ate at Bar Siena, and it was fabulous! Burrata, shrimp and artichokes, brussels, salad – the were all so good!

And a figgy + truffle pizza!

For dessert we tried the famous donuts (Bomboloni) and gelato. Apparently there is a walk-up window called Bombobar where you can order these to go. Yet another reason I need to save big cities for travel! Those squeeze bottles were filled with chocolate!

Why am I hear you ask? I am working with Swanson Health to spread the word on their new line of probiotics! I’ll be heading to Los Angeles next week for an official media tour, but I’m here in Chicago doing some prep tomorrow. More details to come!! 😉

This weary traveler needs rest….zzzz

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
