Fuel 53 + What I Ate In A Day

By

Hi, guys!

I’m SO PUMPED to see that so many of you are interested in the FREE Fall Macro Challenge. It seems like you guys are super interested in macros, so I’m glad I’m doing the challenge and hope you find it helpful. The deadline to sign up is Columbus Day (10/8), so make sure you’re on the list!

Yesterday morning started bright and early at 5:15 AM. Recently, I’ve been waking up with Mal to get a jumpstart on work and walk Murphy before he leaves for school. It’s one less thing for Mal to worry about in the morning, and it’s a nice part of my morning routine. That little pug face is always SO HAPPY for a walk followed by breakfast.

Speaking of breakfast… mine was a delicious overnights oats combo made with So Delicious blueberry dairy-free yogurt, oats, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, unsweetened vanilla Ripple milk (found it at Target), and a big scoop of Teddie Peanut Butter to finish it off. Mmm! It was so tasty and so filling! And, of course, I enjoyed my usual iced coffee mixture (decaf hazelnut + pumpkin spice) with vanilla bean collagen and unsweetened vanilla Ripple milk in my favorite tumbler – perfection!

Quinn is home with me on Mondays (and Fridays), so we always make sure to plan some sort of adventures into our day. He’s not the type of kid who likes to just chill at home (either is his Mumma), so we make it a point to get out and about at some point in the day. A coupon arrived in the mail over the weekend for a bonus arcade card + $1 iced coffee at Starland, a local sportsplex, so Quinn and I knew exactly what we wanted to do on Monday! šŸ™‚

The workout at CrossFit was short and sweet – yet effective. Instead of doing barbell deadlifts, I did single-leg deadlifts with #35 dumbbells, which was quite the booty workout. I got 6 rounds + 8 reps.

After CrossFit, we headed right to the arcade! šŸ™‚

Quinn cashed in his tickets for some “gem slime.” He was really excited about it!

I cashed in my coupon for a $1 decaf iced coffee at Fuel 53, which is right upstairs at Starland. I just discovered Fuel 53 recently, but it’s already become one of my go-to places for iced coffee. I mean, it’s amazing that they even serve DECAF iced coffee. It also seems like a great place to work – they have free wifi and lots of outlets, so it might just become one of the places I work when I’m looking for a change of scenery.

Back at home, it was just about time for lunch. I threw together a random fridge bowl with mixed greens, steamed carrots, Cowboy Caviar (from Trader Joe’s), and a piece of baked cod.

After lunch, I enjoyed a couple of 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Protein Balls – recipe coming to CNC soon!

Then, it was nap time… or so I thought. Quinn just wasn’t tired and kept coming out of his bedroom. He actually suggested napping with Murphy in our bed, so I figured we might as well give it a try. It wasn’t likely the two of them would nap together, but, hey, you never know, right? Plus, our usual nap time routine was not working.

Quinn and Murphy giggled in bed for about 20 minutes – just long enough for me to shower and get dressed. After that, I decided to call it quits. Nap time was just not happening. Oh, well. Instead, Quinn got dressed up as Catboy, and we took Murphy for a walk! šŸ™‚

Dinner was a semi-strange, but tasty combination: Garlic hummus + nutritional yeast mixed with butternut noodles.

I finished off the night with Harvest Blend Tea – one of my favorites EVER!

And a cider donut from Hornstra Farms. Delicious!

Question of the Day

When did your little one stop napping? 

We’re at the point where napping is totally a 50/50 chance, but I have a feeling it’s not going to happen much longer!

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
