Those Summer Days

By

I am living the dream working all morning and playing at the pool all afternoon. I am almost in that sweet spot where Mazen can play with his friends and I can sit and read a book in a chair, but not quite. He is still learning to swim, so I need to keep an eye on him, and I jump in to play with them a good bit. But the difference in his swimming in just one week of regular pool visits and two days of swim lessons is incredible!! He is a fast learner, and I’m sure by the end of the summer he’ll be able to swim a whole pool length no problem (or sooner!)

I’ve been doing a Cook Smarts meal plan this week. We had these noodles with veggies and beef on Monday night for dinner, and I took them to the pool for lunch on Tuesday.

They were even better chilled!

We celebrated Lauren’s birthday while there!

I made this Cook Smarts meal – chicken in a sun-dried tomato and spinach cream sauce with pesto potatoes for dinner last night, and it totally rocked!!! That sauce was out of this world. Mazen ate both meals no problemo!

Back tracking to breakfast, I had a chocolate peanut butter smoothie, a Thomas speciality, yesterday:

And today I’m having eggs + toast!

When we aren’t by the pool, Mazen and I have been loving this game called Zingo. It’s like Bingo with pictures, and he loves it. He had actually played it at school before, so he explained the rules to me, which was hilarious to listen to.  Check it out!

Have a great day, friends.

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
