Sample Macro Day + New Workouts to Try

By

Hi, guys!

I’m home from all of my travels – and, whoa, it was a crazy couple of weeks. I had so many fun adventures, but I am definitely ready to get back to a regular routine. It’s always a challenge to keep up a consistent workout schedule on the road and, of course, healthy eating isn’t easy either. Instead of stressing over not being able to exercise and eat the way I want, I just do the best I can and ease back into my daily eats and exercise when I get home.

Recently, I’ve received a number of requests for more blog posts with what I ate in a day (+ macros) along with my weekly workouts. I personally love getting inspiration and ideas from other bloggers, so I thought I’d get back to sharing my own – not to mention it’s a little extra accountability! I hope you like this new addition to the blog, and it gives you some great ideas as you look to next week. Please let me know what you think of it in the comments below! šŸ™‚

Coffee (unpictured): Iced coffee with 2 scoops of my fav vanilla bean collagen peptides + a splash of New Barn Almond Milk.

Breakfast: Ham and cheese egg cup (so easy to make!) + a rice cake with Nuttzo and sliced strawberries.

Lunch: A sweet and savory combo of my favorite Thrive Market coconut wraps stuffed with munster cheese, turkey, Annie’s Horseradish Mustard, and baby kale. I also had another rice cake (caramel this time) with more Nuttzo and apple slices.

Snack: A delicious carrot cake smoothie, so refreshing on a hot day!

Dinner: Banza pasta with ground beef, marinara, and cheese that I didn’t log (close enough) + a side of greens with my favorite Primal Kitchen Honey Mustard.

Dessert: A delicious peanut butter cup to end the evening!

Workouts to Try 

AMRAP Countdown: 18 minutes is all you need to finish this total body workout. Between the Double Unders and rowing, I was definitely breathing hard!

Fit It In Running Workout: Cooler weather makes me want to lace up my running shoes and hit the pavement. I loved this 20-minute workout that you can do in a gym or outside. If you have dumbbells or a barbell, you can use either to get outside and enjoy the fresh air!

AMRAP Jack: This CrossFit-style AMRAP will get you in and out of the gym in 20 minutes! These are 3 of my favorite movements that will no doubt get your heart pumping – set your timer and just go!

Favorite Fitness Deals

I’m always on the hunt for new activewear, especially if I can find a great deal! Here are some awesome deals to take advantage of this week!

Zella Vixen High Waisted Midi Leggings: I wear a lot of black leggings and these definitely spice up the standard pair – love the cutouts!

Asymmetrical Snap-Up Fleece: OMG, I love this fleece and need it in my life! It’s currently sold out in the color that I want, but it comes in 5 other colors if you’re interested. I’ll be FOR SURE stalking the website in the coming weeks!

Zella Double Work Tank: Another Zella find that is a perfect staple – not to mention it’s on sale for 40% and comes in two cute colors!

Brooks Launch 5: These have been my go-to running shoe recently. I packed them for workouts in both Des Moines and Santa Barbara.

The North Face Slacker Hooded Jacket – Super cute, cozy, and only $59! It comes in blue and black.

WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope: Just learning how to do Double Unders or want to work out from home? Having the same jump rope to practice on was key for me in learning how to do them. This rope also comes in so many cute colors, which never hurts, right?

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
