I’m as Surprised as You Are

By

Guys, I took a yoga class yesterday! (I know, I’m as surprised as you are!)

And it was 60 minutes long!

AND I didn’t leave midway through due to boredom! 🙂

I’m generally not a fan of yoga, but I kind of liked the class that I took yesterday and might even go again. We did a few stretches that I definitely needed, so it might be motivation to keep with it. My upper back and hips are insanely tight – to the point where they’re bothering me while doing everyday activities, like walking, sitting, bending, etc., which is just not good for someone who is only 38 years old. Ugghh, getting old it hard.

Anyway, after yoga class and playtime at the YMCA with Quinn, we headed to Blend, a new smoothie/shake shop in South Weymouth. I saw a post about it on Instagram the other day, so I wanted to see what it was all about.

Blend was super cute inside and the employees were all really nice. The shakes were DELICIOUS, but the ingredients were just okay, so it was more of a treat. (They’re made from Herbalife products.) Quinn and I shared a birthday cake shake with sprinkles, which we both loved. We’ll definitely visit again!

The hospital was basically right next door to Blend, so Quinn and I popped into the outpatient lab, so I could have blood drawn for MORE tests. I’m still coughing up phlegm every day (it’s quite glamorous), and all of the tests we’ve done so far have said zero about what is causing it. Hopefully, this round of testing will tell us something. Quinn was super patient during our visit, so the nurse gave him a couple of Ninja Turtle stickers, which he was beyond excited about! 🙂 He actually brought them to school today to share with his best bud, Blake.

After that, we headed to the library to return books and pick out new ones. We also got a DVD, which is Quinn’s newest obsession. He loves perusing the DVDs at the library. He doesn’t quite understand that pretty much all of them are on Netflix or Hulu – he just thinks they’re super cool! Thankfully, Mal’s Playstation (?) plays DVDs. Do people even own DVD players nowadays?

After a busy morning, we headed home for lunch. On the menu for me: Salmon Caesar Salad – basically, canned salmon on top of mixed greens with Primal Kitchen Caesar Dressing. Lunch doesn’t get easier than this! 🙂

I also had a piece of avocado toast with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. Delish!

Question of the Day

What are your thoughts about yoga? Love it? Hate it? Boring AF? 🙂

Do you own a DVD player?

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
