Lovin’ Lately

February 10, 2016 by Hillary 8 Comments

Hey friends – happy Hump Day!

Just because, here are some things I am lovin’ on lately:

Lululemon Hi-Rise Wunder Under Pants

These are life! I actually have a couple pairs of the cotton Hi-Rise (high waisted) Wunder Unders, but I just purchased a solid black pair in their Full-on Luon fabric… and I never plan to take them off. Everyone needs a pair.

ACV

I have gotten back into the swing swig(!) of apple cider vinegar (ACV) shots first thing in the morning (pre-coffee); my digestion runs smoother when I keep up with this ritual. The sour-y punch of vinegar in the AM certainly wakes up your taste buds!

Fit and Lean 2016 Challenge

I mentioned in my January Recap post that I have been participating in LG’s Fit & Lean 2016 Challenge. This is the sixth and final week, and I am bummed it’s ending. I followed the weekly workout plan Monday through Friday, and did my own cardio (and rest) on the weekends; I enjoyed having structured workouts that target just a couple of muscles groups each day (versus my typical un-planned, often random, full body workouts). The challenge introduced me to a lot of new exercises that I plan to incorporate into future workouts. I have witnessed increased strength and definition in my upper body, or as Lauren likes to calls them — “lady guns.”

Organic Food Bar™ Active Greens

I found these at my local Costco, and I am obsessed. Their muted green color sort of turned me off at first, but no — don’t judge a bar by its color. I’ve now gone through a few boxes of these snack bars. They are a vegan alternative to the beloved Perfect Bar. These babies are nutrient-dense and own a stellar ingredient list, including: spirulina, broccoli sprouts, wheat grass juice powder, pumpkin protein, and more. The base of the bar is almond butter and dates, so yep — they are tasty. Costco sells a box of 12 for ~$20.

Snapchat

Oops — I realized my account wasn’t set to public the past few weeks. All fixed now. If you’re missing frequent Nutrition Nut posts on Instagram, you’ll most likely find me whizzing up avocado pesto on Snapchat.

Discovered this guy’s voice on Spotify. So soothing. Just listen.

    Ohhh girls at the barre studio were just telling me about those Lulu leggings — now I REALLY need to check them out, even though I’m usually too cheap for their stuff. They look so comfy!

“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.
