Gym & Swim Days

By

Quinn and I have added a new activity to our Quinn and Mumma “gym days“… swim lessons! 🙂 Quinn was basically a fish all last summer and totally obsessed with being in the water, so it was definitely time to sign him up for lessons.

Our most recent gym day (Friday) started later than usual. It was gray and raining, so Quinn slept until a little past 7:00 AM. After that, we “dillydallied” (Quinn’s words) around the house, which included watching TV, drinking iced coffee, eating breakfast, and getting ourselves ready for the day.

My breakfast was quite delicious – I toasted up a couple of slices of bread and heated up a piece of 4-Ingredient Salsa Breakfast Bake to place inside for a quickie breakfast sandwich. It was awesome! I highly recommend it! 🙂

Once we got ourselves ready for the day, Quinn and I headed to CrossFit. (Quinn insisted on wearing his Crocs “for the pool.” Haha!)

The workout at CrossFit flew by. We worked on a heavy 2 Push Press and then went right into the WOD. I opted for dumbbells instead of the barbell and finished in 14:00.

After CrossFit, we swung by 1st Stop Coffee (an old favorite) for an iced coffee and a chocolate frosted sprinkle donut, which was realllllly tasty. Ever since Coffee Shack closed, we haven’t been able to find good donuts around here, but this one was excellent! 🙂

Then, we headed to Gold Fish Swim School for Quinn’s first lesson!

I had heard great things about Goldfish, and it definitely lived up to its reputation. It was so perfect for kids and the staff was super friendly.

Quinn’s first lesson went great. He was with an instructor as well as 3 other kids in the pool. I watched from the lobby, and he had the biggest smile on his face the entire time!

I’m so glad swim lessons are now part of our Fridays together! 🙂

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
