Home Sweet Home

^^Girl hike with Sarah yesterday!

As usual, I came home from our trip craving fresh healthy food. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world when I walked into my house hungry and tired on Sunday evening to find the fridge filled with goodies. Both Sarah and Thomas’s mom house sat for us while we were gone, and those caring, sweet women stocked the fridge with food, from healthy prepared salads, a rotisserie chicken and meatballs for us to have for dinner Sunday night to half and half for morning coffee and even cans of seltzer and bubbly! Wouldn’t a great business be to be able to order a healthy dinner and a few staples to have in your fridge when you return from vacation? I’d be all over that! (P.S. I cleaned my fridge from top to bottom the day before we left when it was empty, so it felt extra sparkly when I got back!)

We have been eating well these past few days! Last night’s dinner of chicken, rice, and a home-made kale salad with sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, red peppers, and dill havarti.

I’m on a mission to do some more early runs now that it’s so hot during the day. I got up this morning to head out before breakfast. I had to walk the first half mile to wake up my stiff foot (from my 2005 surgery!) and even once I got going it was a slow run, but I was very proud of myself when I got home for even going at all. I listened to Young House Love Has A Podcast the whole time!

Breakfast bowl of yogurt, blueberries, peach and granola!

My foot has been extra stiff lately with all the soccer I’ve been playing plus a week walking in sand, which is awful if you have foot problems. I had been to see my friend Dr. Geodken for a pulled back muscle a few weeks ago, and the idea came to mind that he might be able to help me with my foot too. Dr. Geodken works at Airrosti, and the method is kind of like a super deep, sometimes painful massage on your connective tissue that might have gotten restricted or weak from injury over time. When the connective tissue is loose and flexible, your body can move properly and pain should dissipate (assuming your pain is soft tissue or mobility related!) I had surgery on my foot in 2005 to un-fuse my sub-talar joint, and my foot has had limited mobility and stiffness ever since. It really only bothers me if I do a lot of activity, but I am hoping that a combination of Dr. G’s (super intense!) massage and some physical therapy moves (ball rolling, ankle strengthening) will help. We will see!

Back at home I got worked for a while and took a break for lunch at 12:30 to finish the last of Sarah’s meatballs and more of that kale salad. I love making a big massaged kale salad and then eating it for a few days. It’s so convenient!

Last night’s Bachelorette – did you watch? Team Peter all the way! (He reminds me of Thomas with his facial hair, haha.) I think she’s going to end up with someone else though, and I am hoping Peter is the new Bachelor.

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
