Island Time

By

We are still here, flyin’ around on golf carts and enjoying the pretty views. We hit a couple of colder days down here in the low country. (And they are calling for snow in Cville this weekend – ugh! This is the slowest spring to arrive that I remember in history!)

Overnight oats with granola + peanut butter

We did some indoor crafts and games – do you remember Shrinky Dinks?!

We also played Go Oink! And Sorry and Connect Four.

Mazey and I played “fishing from a canoe” in the hammock for a while. I think this hammock was the best “toy” we brought!

Hot dogs, chips, and apples for lunch

I went for another run that sent me straight for the ocean. On Wednesday I slipped away to the Island Spa for a little pampering! Thomas has played a few rounds of golf too. The course here is golfer’s heaven complete with alligators!

Dinner Wednesday was spaghetti and meat sauce, garlic bread, and a big salad.

Thomas baked a cake for dessert!

Thursday morning we had oatmeal with granola and peanut butter by the marsh.

Thomas and I went to the club fitness center for a little workout. I cranked away on the elliptical and then did some free weights.

Lunch sandwiches with chips and fruit.

Beach standard!

The high was only about 56 degrees so we stayed indoors most of the day playing games and reading. I finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which I liked very much!! I started The Great Alone (by the same author as The Nightengale, my favorite book in recent history) and it’s SO good!! I love frontier/wilderness books. I also watched Survivor and we finished This Is Us. (Meh on the ending of This Is Us.)

Thursday evening we were treated to a date night while G+P took Mazen on their own dinner adventure.

We went to the restaurant at the Shoal’s Club called Aqua. It has stunning views and a great menu.

I had a coconutty pineapple nutmeg cocktail.

We shared these baked oysters with pimento cheese and conch fritters to start. They were SO good and caught just off the shore. I always order pimento cheese when I see it on a menu no matter how it’s served.

We shared the local grouper with a grit cake and pickled cabbage for an entree along with…

… this amazing gnocchi with shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes, and kale and a red pepper sauce.

And for dessert – a Toffee Coffee Cake with butterscotch sauce and salted caramel ice cream! Mmmmm! These flavors speak my love language.

We have one more full day – today – and 69 degrees and sun in the forecast – so we’re hoping to get outside and enjoy the beach one last time before heading home to snow and sleet tomorrow.

Happy Spring Break!

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
