Q & A with Quinn [4.5 Years Old]

By

Hi, friends! Happy Monday to you!

It’s nap time over here, so I wanted to share our Quinn and Mumma day so far.

We were up and at ’em BRIGHT and EARLY this morning, and Quinn had A LOT of energy to burn (as seen on Instagram Stories), so we got our day started by going to the gym.

He played while I took a Body Pump class. Remember how much I used to love Body Pump back in the day. Mal and I would take classes with Dave and Marie (remember them?) ALL the time – pretty much every weekend and then once or twice during the week. I even did Body Pump at home because I was so obsessed. Long story short, it felt really good to be back at it. I definitely challenged myself this morning and left a sweaty, exhausted – yet energized – mess! 🙂

After class, Quinn took a minute to send a letter to Santa. When I asked him what he wanted me to write, he said: “Happy Thanksgiving and merry Christmas. Love, Quinn.” The kid is too cute!

Once we were finished, Quinn mailed his letter via special North Pole mailbox – such a great idea, right? I love that the YMCA caters to kids so much!

After that, we hopped in the car and drove to Goldfish for open swim. On the drive, I ate a banana and drank an iced coffee protein shake with Garden of Life Fit Vanilla, which was quite tasty!

Post-workout macros:

Open swim was a lot of fun, and I was so impressed with Quinn. Just like that, we have a swimmer! He got passed his fear of dunking his head, and now he swims under water. The progression from being afraid to SWIMMING was incredible. It happened so fast, and it was so wonderful watching him enjoy himself so much and visually seeing how proud of himself he was!

Back at home, we were both more than ready for lunch. On the menu for me: A big salad topped with canned salmon mixed with Dijon mustard, chopped red bell peppers, and roasted onions with a scoop of Smokey Red Mustard. Mmm!

While eating lunch, I asked Quinn some questions that Marie (hey, two mentions in one blog post) shared on Facebook after asking her girls the same question. I thought it would be fun to ask Quinn and see what he said. (I love doing stuff like this, so I can remember him at this age!)

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
