3/11: Fitness & Eats from the Week

By

Hi, guys! Happy Sunday to you!!

I signed up for a 10K later this spring, so I recently up-ed my running game with a 4-mile and a 5-mile run last week. Surprisingly, I felt pretty darn good during both of them – no hip pain and only a little tightness on my left side. I mean, I was barely running a few weeks ago, so I’ll take it! Now, my goal is to just stay consistent with my running and hit 6 miles prior to race day. I don’t have any time goals or anything like that; I just want to run a good race and have fun! With that, here’s a recap of last week’s workouts and some of my favorite eats from the week! 🙂

FITNESS

Sunday: Off

Monday: 4 miles on treadmill + 50 Curtsy Squats + 50 Pistols <– part of last week’s challenge in the CNC Community Group

Tuesday: 50 Curtsy Squats + 50 Pistols 

Wednesday: CrossFit

I used #95 and finished just under 11 minutes. The combo of HP Cleans (hang power cleans) + STO (shoulder-to-overhead) killed my grip, which slowed me down a lot. I’d do 5 HPCs, drop the bar, do one more HPC and then finish out the round with the STOs. The row was like a break!

Thursday: 5-mile run on treadmill + 50 Curtsy Squats + 50 Pistols

Friday: Off

Saturday: CrossFit + 50 Curtsy Squats + 50 Pistols

My gosh, this workout was so much harder than I expected. Each round just got more and more challenging. The round of rowing and pull-ups was so tough – I thought it would never end! My partner and I finished around 30 minutes.

EATS

Can we talk about this breakfast?! Mal and I went out to breakfast at Little Carmen’s (in Norwell), and I ordered the Santa Monica Benedict, which was two poached eggs, avocado, tomato, and bacon with shredded hash browns on the side. HOLY YUM! Here’s why I’m eating egg yolks again.

This was quite the quick and tasty lunch: Chicken Bacon Ranch Collard Wraps. They were so delicious and SO EASY to make. I just mixed together some shredded chicken with ranch dressing, bacon, and chopped tomatoes and then wrapped it all in a big collard leaf.

I used Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix and SFH vanilla protein powder to make a delicious and nutritious gluten-free protein pancake, which turned out amazingly! I’ve actually been trying to perfect it for awhile now, and I think I finally did it!

These Salmon “Everything But The Bagel” Wraps were so good and took like 2 minutes to make.

I’ll definitely make them again for quickie lunch!

Instead of eating pasta with the boys, I chopped up some leftover roasted parsnips into bite-size chunks and topped them with collards, Parmesan, and a simple meat sauce (ground turkey + tomato sauce). Delish!

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
