Food & Fitness | Week of August 26

August 25, 2013 by Hillary 9 Comments

Hi, friends — how was your weekend? Perhaps it was the pesto pizza, pancakes, and Ben & Jerry’s I consumed this weekend that encouraged me to draw up a tentative plan of my eats and exercise for the week ahead; whatever the cause of inspiration, so be it.

I didn’t make a weekly meal plan, but rather a rough guideline for how to use up what’s in my fridge before the long holiday weekend (off to Sonoma County I go!).

Food

  • black bean & quinoa bowl with avocado, corn, Greek yogurt and salsa
  • brown rice pasta with leftover homemade basil pesto and veggies
  • TJ’s black bean & corn enchiladas with avocado and greens 
  • almond blueberry kale smoothies
  • Greek yogurt with fruit and homemade granola
  • homemade almond meal muffins — recipe TBA

Fitness

Monday: PM run + 10-minute Plank & Push-up Workout

Tuesday: PM 20-minute Tabata Kettlebell Workout

Wednesday: PM run + In a Pinch Arms & Abs Workout

Thursday: PM Dumbbell & Kettlebell Workout

Friday: AM run

Saturday: Off 

Sunday: AM run

I feel progress with my injured knee — hip hip hooray. Last week, I ran 7.5 miles total, running four separate days (a.k.a. they were all mini runs). It’s tough not to be gung ho about running again, but I know I have to be smart about it so I don’t get myself into trouble. I scheduled four mini runs (actually slow jogs) into the week, but I’ll be listening to my body before I lace up my running shoes. I am limiting myself to 10 miles total (if my knee allows it). 

I can’t forget about the “aggressive” foam rolling, too!

Do you plan out your food & fitness for the week?

    I am SO glad your knee is feeling better. Hopefully it was just a strain which worked itself out!!! As for my knee, I had two meniscus tears, then plica, then a problem, then a surgeon found I had a stress fracture, my body rejected the stress fracture supplement, and then I got a bone graft into my knee. It’s been a ROUGH two years and I am pretty sure I had a stress fracture in my knee since my first surgery and my surgeon now is the only one who checked me for one! Considering I kept having problems after each surgery until I got the stress fracture fixed… It just seems that way!

      Sounds like quite the journey. Hope you’re done with surgeries for good :)

    Do you typically work out in the morning or evening? It’s interesting that some of your workouts are in the morning and some are in the evening. I’m glad the aggressive foam rolling is helping your knee!

      My schedule is fairly flexible right now, so I’m able to move around my workout time. During the weekdays, I typically exercise in the evenings (I work ’til 5:00pm) unless I have something scheduled. If I’m busy, I don’t mind waking up early to fit it a quick sweat sesh. On the weekends, I definitely prefer to workout early in the day :)

    I’m usually pretty good about my food prep for the week, not so much meal plan, but just have everything washed, chopped and ready to go… some weeks I eat on-the-go more than others, but it all balances out IMO. As far as my workouts go, I have a tentative plan, but it’s always subject to change if I need a day off, have a workout buddy, etc.

    That is great to hear your knee is on the mend. Mine is driving me crazy lately. I hear where you are coming from, wanting to run more, but trying to be smart about it and not push it. It is so hard not to run when your training plan is in the back of your mind.

    You live so close to me, I’m happy I found your blog through Sarah’s! Love upping the amount of NorCal bloggers on my list. :) When I’m not in school or working busy hours, I love having a loose meal planning schedule because it cuts down on my grocery list and I can combine ingredients in different recipes instead of buying a whole bunch of parsley for just one dish!

    All of your eats sound delicious! Especially for cleaning out the fridge.

    I’m glad to hear you are making progress with your knee. I think it’s better to do a little at a time and ease back into things.

    Sonoma is a perfect place to escape this weekend, I’m jealous! ;) Have fun!

- 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 👊🏻⁣⁣
