37th Birthday Recap

By

Year #37 is off to a great start so far! 🙂

My birthday kicked off with an awesome (and super sweaty – holy humidity) workout at KFIT. The workout was a lot of fun – a nice mix of running, rowing, and strength. And the best part was that PR-ed my 1RM Power Clean by 5 pounds, which was quite a nice surprise since I haven’t tested it in years and typically avoid 1 rep max days. (I’m not usually a fan of lifting heavy or the pressure that I put on myself when it comes to maxes, so I just skip those days!)

After KFIT, I headed home, showered, worked for a bit, and then ate leftover birthday cake for lunch. I mean, when else is it okay to eat cake for lunch? 🙂

I worked for a few more hours and then met up with Mal for a shopping adventure at the Derby Street Shoppes. Maybe it’s because I work from home and have grown to enjoy “shopping” via Stitch Fix, but I’m just not a fan of going to a store and trying things on. It’s just so overwhelming, and I have no idea what to buy. Thankfully, Mal likes fashion and helped me find a few pieces to add to my summer wardrobe because I recently told him that I “hate just everything in my closet.” I know, I’m so dramatic. Anyway, I bought a couple of linen tank tops as well as a long-sleeve shirt and high-rise jean shorts, which literally made me laugh out loud when Mal suggested them, but they’re really comfortable and quite flattering – they’ll definitely become a staple this summer!

After my mini shopping spree, we picked up Qman from daycare and headed to Trident for dinner. We started with drinks, oysters, and cheese.

Qman loved preparing the oysters and spreading jam on our bread for us! 🙂

“Cheeeeeeese!”

The Parmesan Truffle Fries were so amazing! Must order again.

Lobstah slider!

And we shared Creme Brulee for dessert, which, sadly, wasn’t all that great. It was super watery, but we loved everything else we tried, so we weren’t all that upset about it.

After dinner, we headed outside to stretch our legs and explore the shipyard before heading home.

Good times! 🙂

It was an awesome birthday for sure! A big THANK YOU to my boys for making it an extra special one! 🙂

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
