<< Weekly Workouts >>

I didn’t post my usual Weekly Workouts recap last week, so today we’ve got double the action. I’ve been dealing with a bought of bronchitis since Mother’s Day weekend, so my exercise regimen has obviously taken a back seat as I catch my breath, literally. Now that the antibiotics have seemed to knock out the bad bugs inside, I am feeling 90%. 

Workouts | Week of May 26

Monday – 2 mile run + 5-Minute Workout That Will Kick Your Butt (2x) + 50 jump lunges / sit-ups / push-ups / bicycles

Tuesday – Rest (diagnosed with bronchitis)

Wednesday – 35 min. easy cycle + light stretching

Thursday – Dorm Room Dumbbell Workout + Beach Yoga via Tone It Up

Friday – Rest

Saturday – Rest

Sunday – 70 min. easy walk

Workouts | Week of June 2

Monday – 20 min. easy walk

Tuesday – Dumbbell Chipper Workout + 5-minute Tone Your Butt & Thighs (2x) + 50 KB swings

Wednesday – Fired Up Squat Workout + Quick Kettlebell Workout (3x) + finisher + 40 min. walk

finisher:

  • 10 man makers
  • 10 elevators
  • 10 burpees
  • bicycles / crunches / leg lifts

Thursday – Rest 

Friday – Squat/Push-up Pyramid Workout + Dumbbell Superset Workout+ 100 KB swings

I really want 15lb. dumbbells for the superset workout!

Saturday – 3.1 mile run + The 5-Minute Workout That Will Kick Your Butt (2x) + The 5-Minute One-Dumbbell Workout (2x) + Squat/Push-up Pyramid Workout

Sunday – 60 min. yoga class + 40 min. walk

    PB + banana pretty much tops every. single. combo out there in my opinion. Minus PB + chocolate, because chocolate. And what on earth is a burpless cucumber? Haha I think I need one in my life.

      It sort of has a funky aftertaste that you have to get used to, but I’ve learned to like it. Definitely not my #1 flavor, but I drink it knowing it’s superb for my health!

    Your weekend eats look delicious! I loved the sunshine and enjoyed a beautiful day at the beach on Sunday.

    BTW, I made that lemon kale hummus last week and posted it on my blog Saturday. Gave you a little shout out, too! :)

    Do you like the “Tone It Up” videos? Do you follow along while you watch? What are your favorite videos to workout to?

      Yes, I am a TIU fan. I enjoy Karena’s yoga videos, and I do follow along as I watch. I haven’t done many of the other workouts, but since I’m subscribed to the TIU emails, I check them out weekly.

      Lately, I’ve been enjoying the 5-minute workouts from Women’s Health Magazine.

      How about you?

    Your super summery weekend is making me SO excited to get back to Louisiana at the end of the month for two weeks of summer loving!

    The highlight of my weekend would actually have to be being lazy! I’ve been sick for the last week and this weekend I was feeling really awful so Jesse and I spent the entire weekend at home in bed watching episode after episode of Supernatural. I never give myself time to rest so it was definitely good to do that.

“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. 

[image: a photo I snapped to send to my mom of my naturally red palm holding my Rx on the first day I took it]
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.
