Chesna CrossFit Workout + Final Coffee Shack Donuts

Image
Hi, guys! On Saturday at CrossFit, we did a special hero workout for a local police officer , who recently died during a shooting in Weymouth. It was truly tragic and hit home hard for the Salt Shack community as well as those in the surrounding towns. Officer Chesna actually lived in Hanover (where we live) with his family. He was just 42 years old and married with two young children (9 and 4 years old). I can’t even imagine what his family is going through right now, and I send them all of the love and support in the world to cope with his loss. Last week was a rough week around here, but I was glad to see that our town and surrounding areas offered so much support to the Chesna family and Weymouth Police Department. There are black and blue ribbons ALL over the place – on telephone poles, mailboxes, even the local Target was covered with blue and black. I also heard that the funeral literally had THOUSANDS of police officers in attendance. The Chesna CrossFit WOD was really c

Back to Live Blogging

Image
Hi, guys! So, I was talking to some of my blog buddies the other day about “live” blogging. Remember the days? Us OG bloggers would publish posts within hours of something happening in our lives. I remember staying up super late after events just to write a blog post so it happened to “real” time. It was such a different time in the world of blogging (before Instagram!), but sometimes I miss it. I think about all of the Instagram stars, incredible recipe developers and photographers, and every kind of expert out there, and I honestly can’t complete with them. I mean, I started CNC as a personal journal to keep me on track with healthy eating and exercise. I basically just “do me” on this blog – for better or worse – and don’t want to try to be something (someone?) that I’m not. I’m kind of rambling here, but I’m thinking about bringing back the live style of blogging – at least a few days a week. Truthfully, it kind of takes the pressure off because I can just be me and share whate

Friday Night at Duxbury Drive-On Beach

Image
Hi, guys! Happy Monday! I can’t believe another summer weekend is over just like that! I feel like it was just Friday evening and we were heading to the beach to kick it off. Holy cow, time flies when you’re having fun! 🙂 Our little family headed to the beach on Friday evening. Mal was away all week, so we were all itching for some quality time together. We even brought Murphy with us! Murphy is typically a lunatic in public situations – mostly because he’s CONSTANTLY scavenging for food – but it was just us and we had control of the situation. At parties and barbecues when the food is flowing, it’s ridiculous. Murphy ends up eating SO MUCH (and sometimes getting sick)! We played for awhile in the ocean! And then took a break for some snacks, drinks, and then dinner. We stayed until the sun almost set. It was quite the nice Friday evening! 🙂 I never want summer to end!
