Homebound All Day

By

Good morning!

These two adorable boys were both up to school yesterday morning, which left me homebound all day long. We dropped my car off for detailing on Monday night, so I had no means of leaving the house. And, for some reason, I had some anxiety about this fact. I love being home and can totally be a homebody at times, but the thought of not being able to leave at all kind of stressed me out. Ha!

I had my best pug friend with me all day, so we made the best of it.

Once the (human) boys left for the day, I walked Murphy and then broke into my breakfast, which was my usual overnight oats + protein combination with a big scoop of sunflower butter and half of an iced coffee from the day before.

After breakfast, I got right to work. I usually work in my office, but I moved myself downstairs to the living room, so that I had the TV for some background noise.

Around 11:00 AM, I finally got my act together to go running. I definitely waited too long because, holy hell, it was hot outside! I had planned to run 4 miles, but I quit at 3.5 because it was so rough. But, hey, a little something is better than nothing!

Back at home, a furry someone made himself comfortable on the couch on the laundry that still needed to be put away. It’s a good thing he’s cute! 🙂

After that, I headed upstairs to shower. Before I hopped in, I did quick combo mask – I used the Brightening + Vitamin C Mask on my forehead and cheeks where I have the most discoloration/pigmentation and Balancing + Charcoal Mask on my nose and chin where I have more clogging.

Once I got myself ready for the day, I threw together lunch, which was a bunch of leftovers and then brought everything outside.

I ate lunch while listening to a webinar with Dan Martell, our business mentor.

Murphy kept me company – look at that pathetic pug face!

I worked for the next few hours and then took a break to eat a snack and take Murphy for his afternoon walk.

Shortly after that, I received a call from Mal, who said my car was ready and he was on his way to pick up Quinn, so be ready when he got home.

Well I waited, a special package arrived on my front doorstep. Inside was a new lunch insulated bag (now I don’t have to use a Lululemon bag anymore) filled with all sorts of goodies from my friend at General Mills. I’m partnering with them in support of National Whole Grains month. I actually have a blog post coming next week about how I incorporate them into my daily eats, so keep a look out for it!

Inside was a mug and a bunch of mini cereal boxes that Quinn will definitely love. He’s really into anything that is kid-sized.

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
