5 for Friday

By

Good morning and happy FRIYAY to you!

So, I thought this new “5 for Friday” blog post idea would make a fun feature on CNC. It seems like a great way to round-up the week with little tidbits about what’s happening on the family front as well as sharing some of my “Friday favorites” and “What I’m Loving Lately.” It’s like the best of both worlds!

FAMILY – So many Halloween costumes, so little time! 

We’re getting really excited for Halloween and have been talking about Quinn’s costume non-stop for weeks now. Up until last week, he wanted to be a ghost like last year. Then, he switched his costume to a bat. The bat idea actually stuck around for awhile, but, just yesterday, he changed his mind to vampire. He’s obsessed with all things “creepy,” so we’ll see what he ultimately picks. We actually might hit up our local party/Halloween store this weekend, so I’ll let you guys know what he picks!

FITNESS – My beloved Ghost Crops are now available in a new pattern! I love these pants so much. They’re super thin, but not see-through (at all) and highly durable. I’ve worn my first pair a zillion times on runs and during CrossFit and Orangetheory workouts and they still look brand new. The best part about these leggings though is that they DON’T SHOW SWEAT. For real. I’m an insanely sweaty person, and I don’t worry about these showing moisture in, um, the wrong places.

MY OTHER RECIPES

FOOD – Munk Pack Protein Cookies. I just wrote about these cookies yesterday, but I just had to mention them again because I’m such a huge fan. They’re a “healthy” treat without a bunch of funny stuff in them, but they taste like a true indulgence. Check out my full review for why I love them so much!

FAMOUS (well, famous-ish for a hot second) – I’m in the November issue of Health magazine! I’m so honored to be featured along side some other awesome bloggers and chefs. I share two of my favorite food swaps that have changed my body for the better over the years. Any guesses what they might be? 🙂

FUN – Sports bras made from 8 recycled plastic bottles! How cool is that? I’m wearing a Mirror Sports Bra from RUMI X, which is made from green technology and crafted from 8 recycled plastic bottles. It’s actually quite the awesome sports bra. I’m not usually someone who can wear one of those strap-y numbers, but this one fits really well and stays put during workouts.

Question of the Day

What’s your little one(s) being for Halloween this year?

Strap-y sports bras: yay or nay? 

P.S. Be sure to enter my giveaway to win a $100 VISA gift card. I’ll pick a winner on Monday morning!

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
