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!

“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.

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

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.
