Spinning Right Round…

February 20, 2010 by Hillary 6 Comments

Hello! Hope ya’ll are having a nice Saturday. I started my day off spinning “right round, right round”. I woke extremely sore, especially in the gluteal region, but told myself that another hour of pure legs would be good – silly idea. So, I got out of bed at the early hour of 8:15, fueled up with a cold bowl of cereal, and headed to the gym with my roommate. The smart one slept in.

Brex

3/4 cup Raisin Bran, 1/4 cup Humboldt Honey Granola, 3/4 cup 1% milk, 1/2 banana + fresh blueberries

Supposedly today’s spin class was the toughest this instructor has taught. My legs have been pushing hard the past 4 days, so I think I’ll go easy on them tomorrow.

I get home ready to shower and move on with my day to find I’ve left my phone at the gym – like I need another pain in my a**. I grab my new favorite snack and then immediately turn “right round” back to campus. Phew, phone found!

[Insert quick stop at Target. As distracting as that place is, I stuck to my 2 item list – yay.]

Lunch

Low-Fat Cottage Cheese, 1/4 Avocado, Cucumber & Tomato

Chocolate Chip Cookie + TJ’s Truffle Heart

Off to the library (I must study!) for the afternoon…

Ta ta for now,

~ Hillary

    I’m also a 45 year old college student haha. I always wake up early. I don’t know how my friends wake up at noon or later…I always feel like I’m wasting a day. Plus I feel sort of off if I don’t start my day early enough to have breakfast haha…my life may revolve around food.

“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.
