Dinner & A Movie

December 30, 2009 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Hi Friends,

Happy Hump Day! Well, wait…isn’t it ‘Friday’ for some? Anyway, before I left to go help with prep for a catering event, I had a filling bowl of bran. It kept my belly happy all morning, but after a few hours of slicin’ and dicin’ in the kitchen, I was ready for some lunch. I picked up a bite to eat at my local gourmet grocery store.

Wrap w/ Pesto, Provolone, Roasted Veggies & Lettuce

Kettle Krinkle Cut Salt & Pepper Potato Chips

I was freezing all morning, and couldn’t seem to make myself warm. I thought a hot drink might do the trick. After walking around Target for at least an hour with a tall decaf latte from Starbucks, my body’s blood was warm again. One of my favorite things is shopping by myself at Target. I don’t know what it is about that huge department store, but it is just calming.

Despite feeling sluggish the rest of the afternoon, I crawled onto the dreadmill before dinner for a walkin’ workout.

40 minutes @ 8.0 incline [10 minutes each @ 3.6, 3.8, 4.0, 4.2mph]

I finished up with a few weight exercises using the 8lb. set – it felt great to squeeze in some strength training. I’ve been slacking.

My family surprisingly ordered a pizza for dinner. I cannot remember the last time we did such a thing. My dad made a salad to go with. Pizza is not a favorite of mine, but I could deal for one meal ; )

It was nothing special: ricotta base, pesto, tomatoes, sundried tomatoes and chicken (which I ended up picking off). Currently watching Benjamin Button – pizza & a movie night, I guess. Don’t miss my 1st GIVEAWAY!

I’ll be back tomorrow, the last day of decade, with my goals for the new year…

Take care!

~ Hillary

    Target’s the best. I can just walk around and around for hours. There’s so much to see. Your food is always so colorful! I liked Benjamin Button a lot. Quirky story line!

      I think we should call ourselves long-distant BFFs : ) I think we would have a lot of fun together. The movie was quirky alright.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
