Rx Workouts, Daiya Cheese & New Uses for My Chopper + Fitbit Versa

By

Hi guys!

This post is a random mix of what’s been happening in my life lately. It’s not quite a “day in the life” post, but a good glimpse into CNC land! 😉

The most exciting happening from the week so far: Quinn learned how to ride his bike!! It was SO COOL! We practiced coasting down our driveway without the training wheels on his bike, just a few times, and, boom, he was riding it the next day. He said “it just clicked!” 🙂

I made this crazy-easy pumpkin spice granola the other day. It’s an old CNC recipe, but, holy cow, it’s delicious. If you’re looking for a quickie fall-inspired granola, this is your recipe. I made a batch on Sunday, and it was gone by Tuesday afternoon!

I completed “Kelly” at CrossFit on Tuesday (5 rounds: 400 meter run, 30 Box Jumps, 30 Wallballs), and it was a beast of workout. It’s one of the “girls” workouts, and it’s one of the first Rx “girls” workouts I’ve done in a longgggg time.

I’m not the same athlete that I was when I first started CrossFit nearly 9 years ago. I used to feel disappointed that I couldn’t compete with the same weights and intensity that I once did, but a lot has changed… and that’s OKAY. I’m at a difference place in life now, and I’m honestly just happy that I am able to exercise on the regular AND occasionally push myself at the level I’m currently at. I’m still getting a great workout and increasing my fitness level and really that’s all that matters. All I know is that I was pretty pumped to finish “Kelly” the other day!

Andrew Kornfeld (IBD Coach) shared this info about Daiya cheese on Facebook the other day, and I just had to pass it along. I feel like a lot people are confused about these types of food products. They seem healthy, but they’re really not, especially for us with GI and autoimmune issues. The more you know!

I discovered some new uses for my chopper! I know I’ve blogged about this amazing kitchen tool in the past, but I seriously love it and use it ALL the time. Between this and my air fryer, it’s basically how I cook all my meals! 😉

Chopped salad? Yes, please!

Chopped apples for Mom’s Apple Crisp? Easy peasy! 🙂

I joined the Orangetheory right near our house and had my first workout on Monday. The heart rate monitor that I borrowed from OTF died on me (like it often does – I think I get too sweaty for it to work properly), but my Fitbit Versa ended up tracking my workout pretty well. I actually think I’ll probably use my Fitbit for OTF workouts in the future!

Question of the Day

Anyone else have issues with heart rate trackers?

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
