Third Time’s a Charm Lamb Cake

Image
Hi, guys! Our Saturday started like most Saturdays: CrossFit followed by iced coffee and donuts from Coffee Shack. But, after that, we headed straight to a local rink to take Quinn to his first “Learn to Skate” class. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a mix up, so he didn’t get to skate, but we turned around the morning with a fun trip to the playground! After some fun at the playground, we headed to Trader Joe’s to do our grocery shopping for the week. I actually hired one of our DTFN coaches to make my meal plan, so I can do it with our CNC Spring Nutrition Challenge Group . We start a week from today (April 9th), so if you’re thinking about signing up, there’s still time! FYI: I started my plan a week early, so I can provide some extra content to the group as well as you guys! 🙂 Back at home, we ate lunch and then mixed up the ingredients for our Easter lamb cake . Once the batter was in the mold and ready to go, I popped it in the oven and attempted to get Quinn down for

3/25: Fitness & Eats from the Week

Hi, guys! Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a nice Easter. I have a recap of ours coming soon, but I wanted to share my workouts from last week as well as some of the delicious eats that I enjoyed . I’m glad I’ve finally got into a groove again with my workouts, and I’m finally feeling back to my old self again. As far as my eats go, I dined out quite a bit last week, so I did my best to keep things in check (I tracked macros during the day), but I definitely enjoyed myself too! Fitness Sunday: Off Monday: 4 miles Sneakers: Brooks Boston Launch 5 (aka “Boston Marathon Lobster Sneakers”)  Tuesday: CrossFit I can’t remember how long this workout took me to finish, but I remember the HSPUs kicking my butt. The #105 Power Cleans were pretty heavy for me, so, mixed with DUs, the HSPUs were just not happening. I did maybe 10 total and then switched to two mats and then Tiger Push-Ups. HSPUs and I just weren’t meant to be. Wednesday: Off Thursday: CrossFit I went to the 5:

The Easter Turtle

Hello from Bald Head! We’re here for the week for Mazen’s Spring Break and staying in our family’s house, which has been officially named Marsh Onward! We arrived on Saturday and couldn’t wait to settle in. It’s just so beautiful in here. Saturday night the island held its monthly Howl At The Moon event on East Beach. They provide a main dish and everyone brings a potluck dish to share. A bagpiper comes out to serenade the group while we watch the moonrise – and howled of course! It was quite chilly out on the beach, so soup was the perfect choice! MY OTHER RECIPES The community contributions were great – cheese and crackers, pizza, dips, sandwiches, and desserts. It was windy though, so we barely made it to moonrise! On Easter morning we were greeted with warm sunshine. I had a banana with almond butter for a small breakfast, and we waited for the arrival of the Easter Turtle! Since the Easter Bunny can’t swim across the island, the Easter Turtle helps him out w
