Reebok {ONE} Won

December 11, 2012 by Hillary 7 Comments

The best thing about my day…

The FedEx package on my porch with this Reebok CrossFit journal inside! #it’sthelittlethings

I won one of these four (hard to find) journals through a giveaway on Carrots ‘N’ Cake last week. Tina is such an inspiration to me when it comes to CrossFit, so it was especially fun to win it from my beast of a blog buddy.

Confession: I chose the above WOD over my scheduled training run today. I thought about doing both, but then I gave it a second thought, and remembered the whole overtraining thing. I was only supposed to run an easy 2 miles, but I figured it would be in my best interest to save those miles for another time.

You may think it’s ironic that I chose CrossFit over running, when the race I’ve been training for is this Sunday… but, have you heard of “intuitive exercise”? I have no fear that I’ll survive Sunday’s six point two miles whether or not I run a single mile this week. #believe 

Anyway… I’m pretty darn excited about my new deadlift diary. I’ve been journaling my workouts since late summer in an orange journal sent to me by Love Grown Foods – including every WOD since I started at the box – but it’s inspiring to have a journal designed for CrossFit athletes. I see some serious goal making in my future. 

“Don’t let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do.” – my new journal


Do you record your exercise? If so, do you prefer to do it on paper or electronically?

Do you exercise intuitively or according to a strict schedule? 

What made you happy today?

    I record my exercises on the blog! Before my blog I use to record them in a notebook!

    I have been looking for an all-in-one journal that would let me record my cardio, resistance training, HIIT workouts, and Crossfit. I gave up and made my own. But I will have to check out Reebok’s to see about tweaking what I have. I record most my workouts on weighttraining.com, but need a paper form while in the gym.

    I used to log every workout with weights & reps (in a Hello Kitty notebook :)) and it was so motivating to see how I progressed. I just started at a box last Friday and will be logging all of my WODs since I definitely plan on improving. I try my hardest to exercise intuitively, but if I write a workout down in my planner, I want to cross it off bad. Something to work on! CrossFit made me happy this morning. :D Good luck on Saturday!!

    I record my workouts in an Excel spreadsheet. For non-running cardio, I include my time, average heart rate and calories burned; and for running, I include my distance and average pace. I would say I am a mix of a scheduled and intuitive exerciser. I rarely force myself to do a certain type of workout if I’m really not feeling it, but I do have weekly goals of what I want to accomplish in terms of my workouts that I try to reach by the end of the week. A live Santa and a holiday harpist in the lobby of my office building made me happy today! Tis the season!

    In regards to keeping an exercise schedule, I just plan on putting in 30 minutes of cardio & 30 minutes of strength training each day…but within that, I’m pretty flexible!

    I think I need an exercise journal. I’ve been so sporatic lately, this would be perfect to keep me on a better schedule.

    I have been using my Google Calendar, but only adding it after my workout. It would be nice to have something just for workouts!

“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.

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.
