Guiltless Gluttony {Good Living: Part II}

November 26, 2011 by Hillary 5 Comments

This post serves as an entry to win an 8-day trip to Greece, courtesy of Fage Total and the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher program. The team invited featured publishers to create blog posts illustrating the Greek concept of “good living”, combining good food and fine taste for a positive, healthy life.

* * *

I’ve spent the last 10 days away from my humble college apartment treasuring time with family and friends laughing, walking, talking, running, and most of all — eating.

A lack of good food is never a concern with my foodie family.

tempura asparagus sushi. homemade honey wheat bread. raisin challah french toast. apple pie. pecan pie. Twisted sourdough breadsticks – homemade. gingersnap pumpkin pecan cheesecake. roasted squash + apple salad. portabella ravioli w/ vegetable ragu. pumpkin pie. sinful dark chocolate truffles. homemade cranberry orange bread. butternut squash soup. goat cheese + veggie pesto pizza. local ginger ice cream.

Gluttony

glut-ton-y [gluht-n-ee]; noun – excessive eating and drinking.

During my vacation, I was over-indulgent — a glutton. I didn’t stop at one piece of pie… or two. Clean eating was non-existent the later half of the week – as more gluten and sugar invaded my “diet” – while exercise didn’t appear until Wednesday due to a persistent head cold. Is it just a coincidence that gluten and glutton have the same prefix and sound oddly alike!?

Setting the table to nourish our bodies together is something I value {read: Good Living Part I}; yet, after 142 days fueling my body with simpler eats, my body isn’t handling the extra carbohydrates and calories all too well. To me, good living is a balance between clean eating and moderate gluttony.

I am grateful to have gobbled a plethora of gourmet eats during my Thanksgiving vacation, but now my body is more than ready to return to “normalcy”.

Good living is eating foods that not only deliver good taste, but good feeling. It is about following your food philosophy 90% of the time, and accepting the other 10% without guilt.

  

 

 

Good living has room for both greens and gluttony.

Here’s to many more balanced and delicious days this holiday season…

“Stinygiasou!” — to your health!

    I also feel I’ve been a bit of a glutton the last week, and in the same situation of not being able to exercise due to a cold! Thank you for the reminder to enjoy a little bit of gluttony and to not ruin the occasion with guilt!

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? ⁣⁣

One lucky winner will receive a @girlgetafterit swag bag with hoodie, beanie & water bottle. ⁣⁣
