I Love You, Grains and Greens.

August 28, 2010 by Hillary 13 Comments

I didn’t think I’d be hungry after eating the day away, but when 6 o’clock rolled around, I was hungry for dinner. Listening to my body, I headed into the kitchen and put together a meal that you probably wouldn’t see in any other ‘normal’ college kid’s kitchen.

057 

There are no words to describe how much I love healthy food. I do not forcefully make myself eat this healthy – I just L.O.V.E. vegetables so so so much. Call me nutty… but a very healthy nut, I am.

047

Quinoa + fresh spinach, edamame, chevre and black pepper.

050

Dr. Praeger’s California Veggie Burger – nothing added.

048 

Organic Heirloom Tomato – sweet ‘n’ juicy.

060

My mason jar got a lot of lovin’ today.

Not long after cleaning my dinner plate, I pulled the berry colander from the fridge, and the chocolate chips from the freezer.

Yes, you bet that is a mug of melted semisweet chocolate chips… and you can bet some of those s-berries took a dunk in that swimming pool of rich, dark chocolate.

I just poured myself a second cup of green tea. I don’t know what was up with my hunger today, but I ate an awful lot of [healthy] food for only 32 minutes of physical activity. My Sunday is a bit busier than today was, and hopefully the eats will be a bit lighter too.

If the weather is suitable, I may go for another outdoor run in the morning. Speaking of running, I signed up for a race! I’m going to run the Chico Ten on September 18th at the park that’s just a few minutes away from my house. I used to run races rather regularly, but it’s been months since I’ve participated in one. I think this 10-mile run fits in nicely with my half-marathon training. Yay, I’m really looking forward to my fall races! : )

Reading, writing, online quizzes… such an eventful Saturday night.

Ta ta for now,

Hillary

    Dinner looks wonderful! I know what you mean about craving healthy foods — my body just wants them (and of course, sometimes it wants pizza too, but mostly I want healthy things!).

    I’ll be doing a half-marathon in October and possibly a 10k here in a couple weeks! After that, I’m playing it by ear :)

    I’m running my very first race on September 18th as well. It’s a 5K run and I’m a teeny bit nervous, but know I can do it :)

    I feel the same way about vegetables. It’s an odd love to many, but for me, they are my number one on my plate! ;)

    Hey Hillary! Thanks for stopping by – I am def. adding you to my reader this morning! I find some days I’m ravenous and others I’m not so much. You did a good job listening to your body!

    I am running the half in Chicago on September 12!

    That quinoa combination looks divine. I have a 10K and half-marathon this fall. Hopefully by next spring I’ll be ready for a few big bike rides too.

    That tomato looks awesome! It makes me sad to think that they’ll eventually be out of season… I guess we better eat ’em while we can get ’em!

    I’ll be running a 5k in fall… as soon as I finish my Couch to 5k Training! :)

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
