Workouts & The Weekend

April 13, 2015 by Hillary 6 Comments

I am sorer than sore… and it feels painfully good. My workouts the past month have been somewhat lackluster – lots of walking and rest days (though both deserving of their time and place) – which sort of explains why I haven’t shared a Weekly Workouts post in 4 weeks.

This past week, however, I got a surge of motivation (I think it’s the new gym!). I had 7 solid consecutive workouts – 4 gym workouts + 3 outdoor runs. It felt SO good.

Today is another story though – my body is completely fatigued. My inner thighs scream with each step and squat I take, and my core feels like it’s squeezed inside a corset.

And now for the weekend… things that made me happier than happy:

Banana oatmeal with FM strawberries + leftover dessert dukkah (in my new bowls!)

    Ok, the bouquet, mirror, dresser, strawberries, and coffee drink look AMAZING. I am so impressed by that bouquet!! So gorgeous.

    I had a pretty terrible weekend. I had a really good 16 mile run Saturday, but then Saturday night my cat was hit by a car and died, so I was up all night sobbing and then Sunday stayed away from the apartment as much as possible with more tears thrown in there. It’s getting a little easier now, but it still is absolutely miserable and difficult.

      Sorry to hear about your cat, Mary.

      On another note, congrats on the 16 miler! :)

    I love strawberries and the farmers market as well. The oatmeal looks super healthy. Thanks for sharing the workouts. That is crazy!! So, I can see why you wouldn’t be able to move. I seem to take a lot of Epsom salt baths. As far as the above reply goes, I’m so sorry she lost her cat. I feel so bad and my heart goes out to her. Have a wonderful day and recover!!

      Oh, that’s a bummer. Yes, I will say my market is pretty darn awesome and quite inexpensive.

    Yum, fresh strawberries! I can’t wait until they are in season in Oregon (which is approximately 3-4 weeks during the early summer). And farmers market flowers are the best. We are doing lots of baby prep around here, so that happened last weekend as well as a gorgeous hike up one of the local buttes in Eugene.

“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.
