Chesna CrossFit Workout + Final Coffee Shack Donuts

By

Hi, guys!

On Saturday at CrossFit, we did a special hero workout for a local police officer, who recently died during a shooting in Weymouth. It was truly tragic and hit home hard for the Salt Shack community as well as those in the surrounding towns.

Officer Chesna actually lived in Hanover (where we live) with his family. He was just 42 years old and married with two young children (9 and 4 years old). I can’t even imagine what his family is going through right now, and I send them all of the love and support in the world to cope with his loss.

Last week was a rough week around here, but I was glad to see that our town and surrounding areas offered so much support to the Chesna family and Weymouth Police Department. There are black and blue ribbons ALL over the place – on telephone poles, mailboxes, even the local Target was covered with blue and black. I also heard that the funeral literally had THOUSANDS of police officers in attendance. The Chesna CrossFit WOD was really challenging, and it’s the least we could do in support.

I teamed up with my friend Marisa for the workout, and I was completely exhausted and drenched in sweat by the end. I haven’t been that tired from a workout in awhile!

I also got to try out the Hyperion from Brooks for a combo CrossFit + running workout. These might just be THE SHOES for my workouts. They definitely combine the best of both worlds!

After CrossFit, we headed to Coffee Shack for the very last time. (The Marshfield location is still open, but Pembroke closed last weekend.)

Here’s the face of a boy who was told Coffee Shack is going out of business…

Our last Coffee Shack experience was bittersweet. We are definitely going to miss this part of our Saturday routine.

I just had to get a photo outside for the memories – I’m really going to miss Coffee Shack!

The rest of the afternoon was spent running errands and then napping on the couch with Murphy. Chesna was such a hard workout, which, of course, is the way it should be for such an amazing hero.

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
