Tuesday Scenes

November 13, 2012 by Hillary 14 Comments

It wasn’t a typical Tuesday around here. I worked an afternoon shift, meaning I had the morning to sleep in.

Hah! I mean get my butt outta bed at 7:00am to kick off the day with a healthy dose of fitness. 

But first, a bite or two of fuel of course.

1 GF toaster waffle, almond buttah, 1/2 banana, hemp seeds, and honey drizzle — mmm! Usually, I eat this x2, but I saved the other half for my WOD recovery fuel.

Even though I knew today’s WOD included running, I jumped on the treadmill for an easy 20-minute // 2.5 mile run to warm-up those legs before heading to the box.

Look at that! Someone did the workout as prescribed today! It’s amazing what two simple letters, Rx, can do to my mood :)

Iced coffee to celebrate and encourage the endorphin high.

Greens were packed for lunch at the office, along with half of a huge local Granny Smith and homemade trail mix.

Local raw walnuts, raisins, pepitas, bittersweet chocolate chips. #simple

Dinner came early as my evening was free from exercise. Quick comfort food to the rescue in the form of sweet tater black black bean quinoa chili and a corn tortilla with sharp white cheddar (that tasted 10x better than it appears). 

A day of eating clean and sweating dirty is as good of a day as any.

    I love the quote on your notebook! I know, I notice weird things… but it’s inspiring! Congrats on today’s workout! I don’t know much about crossfit, but I know enough to realize that it’s a good thing to follow the “prescribed workout” :)

    My running Tuesday was fantastic – class was cancelled so I got in an extra 2 hours at the WREC (completed your 60 minute {LIFT to FIT} workout). It was a great day of running and clean eating for me as well! My lunch didn’t look nearly as delicious as yours though…I love the idea of a homemade trail mix with lunch! Yum!

        I did your (awesome) 60 minute full body+treadmill workout then I did a few inspired things. Until I realized that I had been at the gym all too long and I migrated to an empty aerobics room and did a solid hour of yoga. Such a good use of my time!

    I can’t wait for the day I can write RX on the board after a WOD. I am getting so close and getting much faster in my WODs! Even finished first in one the other day!

    Great job on the workout! I spent Running Tuesday mourning the fact that I can’t run. I don’t know why it hit me so hard yesterday after almost a year of being injured, but it did. If you have any advice to get back to running I’d love to hear it! haha

        Piriformis syndrome – pain deep in my hip/butt mainly when I run or sit down for long periods of time. Luckily, I’ve been able to do yoga and cross training to keep me sane… but I really miss running!

          Have you heard of Active Release Technique (ART)? I would look into it and see if anyone in your area offers it; it’s a soft tissue modality that can do wonders!

- 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. ⁣⁣
