Down the Cape & Back Again

By

Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a nice weekend. I’m doing a little catch up this morning with some blog posts from a couple days ago. Let’s rewind to Thursday morning… and go!

I woke up ready to eat and immediately made myself two rice cakes – one with sunflower butter and one with peanut butter – and topped them both with ground pumpkin seeds and banana slices. Delicious and filling!

After breakfast, I got myself ready for a trip down to the Cape with Kerrie for a podcast with Mobius Media Solutions. I was actually pretty nervous for it, but it ended up being really fun in the end. We shared our story and how Designed to Fit came to be as well as some of our philosophies regarding food, health, and balance. We also chatted about the business side of things since, right now, the two of us are running four of them and trying to make it all work. I’ll be sure to share the episode with you guys once it’s live!

Once we finished the podcast, I dropped Kerrie off at the ferry (she was heading to Nantucket) and then drove home. On the drive, I chatted with Mal, who said he was hungry for lunch. I was too, so we decided to go out and grab some food together at Scarlet Oak Tavern.

By the time we got there, I was starving, so as soon as their warm cornbread was served to the table, I immediately grabbed a piece and spread some butter on it. Feed me.

For my entree, I ordered their chicken avocado sandwich with pickles and chips on the side. It totally hit the spot!

After lunch, on the way to pick up Quinn, Mal needed to stop at Home Depot.

He purchased a few more outlet face-plates. I know, super exciting. His project for the summer has been updating all of the old ones in our house, and he’s almost done!

Back at home, Quinn and I snacked on some mango coconut rice bites from CVS.

After that, I slipped out for a walk/run with Murphy. It was Thursday, and I had only worked out once that week , so I figured maybe I should try to get in some activity. I did 2 miles with Murphy (walking) and then 2 miles on my own (running).

When I got home, I quickly showered and then made us dinner. Then, Mal and I cleaned, organized, and purged Quinn’s playroom. I have no idea how he’s acquired so many toys in three years!?

The next morning, we all headed back down to the Cape to spend a couple days with Elizabeth and Nick and their family. Murphy hung out with a friend of ours for the night, but he still enjoyed a ride in the car to her house!

We arrived at Elizabeth and Nick’s house just an hour later and immediately got ourselves ready for a morning at the beach.




Around nap time, we all headed home to put the little ones down. The adults ate lunch and had some time to catch-up. Nap time actually turned into a little happy hour while we waited for them to wake up. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right?

Once the kids were awake, there was plenty of water-table fun times and the adults continued our happy hour! 🙂 (Mine may have included a coconut donut. Clearly, I need a post-summer slim-down in my life! Haha! I actually sent the photo below to my friend – we joke about how much we’ve indulged in donuts/ice cream and wine this summer. We both signed up to do the 3-week meal plan together, and I can’t wait to get started in a couple of weeks!)

Eventually, it was time for dinner, so we fed the little ones and then got them ready for bed. Once they were asleep, the adults enjoyed an awesome seafood dinner!

On Saturday morning, we headed to a huge playground.

The kiddos had so much fun!

What was even more fun was taking the kiddos to ride go-carts!

Please note: Quinn’s tiny hand as he waved to me. So cute!

It was such a fun few days! As much as I’m ready to get back into a routine, I’ve loved everything about this summer! 🙂

Question of the Day

Seafood – love it or hate it?

Let’s say we wanted to buy a house on the Cape – what’s the part (town) in your opinion?

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
