The Ultimate Work Space

By

Hi, guys! Happy Thursday!

Our sweet boy was up and at ’em at 5:30 AM this morning. He walked into our bedroom and immediately flipped on the lights. Oy. I was sound asleep, so I was so confused when I saw him standing next to the bed staring at me. Ha!

Once I figured out what was going on, we headed downstairs to keep Mal company while he ate breakfast. I immediately poured myself a glass of iced coffee mixed with hazelnut iced tea. <— I planned to have an iced coffee after my workout, so I started the day with a half and half. Too much coffee (even decaf) *might* be related to some of my acne breakouts. I’m still trying to put the pieces together by keeping a journal of my symptoms.

Breakfast was a rice cake with peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon. Easy. Simple. Delicious.

Once Qman and I were ready for the day, I dropped him off at school. He gave me the biggest and best hug before I left, and, my gosh, it was tough to say goodbye this morning. After spending a week with him on vacation, I’ve missed him so much this week. Ugh, it hurts my heart just thinking about it. Sorry, I don’t mean to complain. I know we’re lucky to have a flexible schedule, but, man, I’m missing him this week. I’m definitely going to pick him up early from school today. Sorry, tangent. Anyway…

Now that we have a “homebase” for Designed to Fit Nutrition (and Nutrition House Software) within KFIT, I really have no excuse for NOT working out. Our office is literally feet from the gym and I can shower afterward, so there’s no extra time needed for commuting and I can get right to work after my workout. It’s basically the best work-life situation ever. I truly don’t think I could ask for a more perfect work space. And, hey, pink barbells.

Today’s workout was short and sweet. I used #75 for the Push Press and finished around 15 minutes.

Post-workout snacks: Protein ball, blueberries, and iced coffee mixed with vanilla protein powder.

Now, it’s time to get to work! Enjoy the day, friends!

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
