sweat it out.

July 23, 2011 by Hillary 5 Comments

After 16 sips of Sierra Nevada beer and a stack of “sinful” blueberry + peach puree cornmeal pancakes, I was ready to cleanse my body from my indulgences this afternoon.

I was so so stuffed from this morning’s carbs & caffeine, that I had to wait until almost 5:00pm before I felt my food was digested enough to exercise. Once I got to the WREC, the glucose had been absorbed from my intestines into my cells, and I was ready to move!

  • 60-minute treadmill run (7.5 mi.)

30 minutes @ 0 incline / 15 minutes @ 0.5 incline / 15 minutes @ 1.0 incline – 8:00 min./mi. pace

Even though this was an easy run, it was still a sweat storm on the ‘mill!!

  • 20-minute StairMaster
  • 10-minute strength training

 arms & legs using 10lb. dumbbells + 10 assisted pull-ups & 10 assisted dips

Once home, all I wanted was something fresh, raw, and colorful… and icy H20!

The ideal summer salad:
raw, organic baby spinach + a chiffonade of organic basil, fresh mozzarella, farmers’ market tomatoes (that taste like candy!), drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, S + P

 

Speaking of cleansing eats, I enjoyed a delicious – thick! – Green Monster smoothie earlier this week. I don’t know why I don’t whip up these nutrient-dense blender “beverages” every day – they are guaranteed to be delicious and revitalizing!

The Clean Green Monster Smoothie:
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/2 c. frozen mango
  • 1/4 ripe avocado
  • 1 tsp. chia seeds
  • 1 c. raw, organic baby spinach
  • 3/4 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk

I hope y’all are enjoying the late July weekend.

See ya Sunday!

Hillary

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.
