The Friday 5

By

Hi, friends! Happy Friday!

It’s been a snow-filled week around here, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Anyone else excited to set their clocks ahead Sunday? Oh, yes, I’m ready for Spring… and SUMMER! Speaking of which, I signed up for a “Spring Into Summer Fitness Challenge” at Iron Way to help motivate me to get my act together. It’s 12 weeks, so it’ll be just in time for the warm weather. I’ll share some details along the way! 🙂

Anyway, I’m popping in with The Friday 5 where I recap my top 5 favorites from the week. I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

1. Sweet potatoes with nut butter – I’ve been loving sweet potatoes with nut butter. If it sounds odd, trust me, this combination is so good. It’s especially wonderful as sweet potato toast! Plus, it’s full of healthy carbs and fats, so it’s super satisfying and helps to curb my sweet tooth. If you have a sweet tooth, too, I have other tips on How I Beat My Sugar Addiction.

2. Elastic waist jeans (aka “pull-on leggings“) – I’ve received so many compliments on the jeans pictured below, I just had to share. I actually got them from Stitch Fix, but the brand is Liverpool, and they’re similar to maternity jeans, but a lot more flattering. They’re comfy and stylish, so I wear them ALL the time! Just pull ’em up!

3. Coffee & Kettlebells podcast – I love listening to the Coffee and Kettlebells podcast with Morgan Kline – mom, personal trainer, and co-founder of Burn Boot Camp. This week’s episode with Morgan was all about body image, but her podcast includes an awesome variety of topics from nutrition, fitness, self-help, style, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and more.

4. BROC SPROUT 2 (Whole Broccoli Sprout Capsule) – You know by now that I am fascinated by hormone health, so I’ve been taking this broccoli sprout supplement. Broccoli sprouts contain high amounts of Sulforaphane, which is a potent antioxidant that helps with estrogen metabolism. Obviously, I’m not a doctor, so check with yours before you try adding this to your routine.

5. PRODUCTIVITY (finally!) – I’m a hot mess at all times, but I finally feel like I’m getting it together on the work front. I hired another nutrition coach and someone for the CNC team to help me out. Additionally, I’ve been reading up on how to be more productive. My goal for 2019 is work smarter not harder, and these few resources have really helped!

 

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

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
