Kauai | Vacation Workouts

March 24, 2014 by Hillary 10 Comments

Alooo-ha!

I’d like to say it feels good to be home, but in all honestly, I wish I was still in Paradise, a.k.a. the lush garden island of Kauai.

I have a gazillion photos from my trip to download onto Miss Mac, about a half dozen more loads of laundry to wash and fold, an entire week of school to catch up on, and my first IIN test to study for!… but, since I enjoy sharing my Weekly Workouts with y’all every Sunday, I want to document my vacation workouts (plus the week prior) before things get way backed up.

I didn’t plan to have access to a gym while I was away, so I collected a few of my favorite no-equipment travel workouts to pack in my suitcase; it turned out I was able to use the gym at the condo my cousins were staying at just up the road – score!

Overall, I’d say I managed to make it a fairly fit vacation (albeit the daily Lappert’s ice cream). I ran a lot… pain-free! Well, “a lot” by my injured knee standards.

 >> 3 gym workouts + 2 short runs, in addition to all of the active exploring

    Hey there again! I’m so jealous you got to go to Hawaii…take me with you if you ever go back? Haha. But I wanted to let you know: I just took the first IIN test, as well, and it wasn’t bad at all! I am very glad I studied because it certainly helped. But I’ve taken much worse tests in my life. Much worse in college and high school. So don’t stress too much about it! But still take the time to look back on material. :)

      Good to know! Any specific study tips? What was the toughest part for you? I still have to catch up on Module 10, then it’s study time!

        I suggest doing the Quick Quizzes again at the end of each module on the Student Dashboard. Those helped me. As well as just looking over the study guide and pulling up the PowerPoint slides of subjects I couldn’t remember a lot of info about. But you get to use your open notes/PowerPoints/lectures during the test, and I only had to look up a couple of answers to be sure. Other than that, you’re set! Especially if you already have a background in nutrition (I have a bachelor’s degree in Food and Human Nutrition), it helps in that respect, too. Good luck! You’ll do great!

    Wow, I’m impressed with how well you kept up with your workouts! That always makes it easier to get back on track when you get home.

    I hope you’re planning on sharing more pics of Kauai…swoon.

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? ⁣⁣
