Scale Obsessions… WHY?!?

By

Soooooo, I’m still trying to figure out the cadence of the live blogging with the other content on CNC. Today’s weekend posts probably seem a bit out of order, but, hopefully, I can find a grove with publishing. Oy. Blogging life is not like it used to be! Anyway, this recap is actually from yesterday afternoon, so it’s not so “live,” but I’m working on it! 😉 #hotmess

Lunch was a throw-together salad with all sorts of goodies from my Sunday food prep. During the week, I’d say 90% of my lunches look like this – I just throw together whatever is cooked and ready into a bowl and call it a meal. I’m definitely not fancy, but lunch is easy, quick, delicious, and nutritious. I love that I don’t have to think about it!

After that, I got to work on a post about my OPEX experience. My partnership ended nearly a month ago, so the blog post is long overdue. I’m hoping to have it live on CNC next week. Please note (photo below): My weight (on the scale) went up more than a pound, but I lost fat and gained muscle. Reason #845 why the scale is just a mind f*ck and not an accurate measure of your progress!

A short while later, I headed to the Derby Street Shoppes for a meeting. When I got into my car, I noticed that it was SO CLEAN. This summer it’s been filled with sand, sand, and more sand after our trips to the beach, so I was especially happy and thankful that Mal cleaned it for me – probably because it was absolutely disgusting and he knew I never would.

My meeting was at the Capital One Cafe – remember how much time I spent here last summer?

I had about 30 minutes to kill before my meeting, so I broke out my laptop, ordered some decaf espresso over ice, and got down to work.

A short while later, I met up with some nice folks from Derby Street about a really cool partnership. Local readers: Keep you eyes peeled for some FUN stuff in the coming months – more to come! 🙂

After the meeting, I picked up Quinn from school and then headed home. I was STARVING when I walked in the door, so I broke out a bag of Salt & Cracked Pepper Chips from Deep River Snacks + some hummus and got to work chowing down. Please note: The pug tail in the background. Murphy is never far from food!

My snack ended up satisfying me quite well, so when dinnertime rolled around, I wasn’t super hungry. I still had some shrimp with sauteed spinach and broccoli – for the nutrients! 🙂

Question of the Day

Are you obsessed with the scale? WHY? 🙂

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
