Switching Up My Fitness Regimen (Again) + This Week’s Workouts

February 10, 2019 by Hillary Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I’ve shared my weekly workouts (if you’re new here, I used to share them frequently).

Before I moved to Florida (one year ago!), I considered myself a “gym rat.” Making the cross-country move led to a lot of changes, one of them being not joining a gym right away. At the end of July, I bit the bullet and decided to give Orangetheory Fitness a shot. One month in with 15 workouts completed, I wrote my thoughts about it here. I love OTF. I had a lot of fun with it, and it was a change of pace from coming up with my own workouts. But then I got burnt out — mentally (and financially). Boutique fitness gyms are not budget friendly; so, after 6 months of consistent heart-rate based HIIT workouts, I decided to put my membership on hold.

Which brings me back to home workouts — something I am very familiar with. I think it’s going to take me a bit to switch back into the mental game of home workouts + running. I’ve been considering purchasing an at-home based workout program, but can’t make up my mind. There are so many good ones out there — Madeline Moves and the Good Sweat Guide are both catching my eye.

Workouts | Week of February 4

Thoughts overall: I’m glad I got in six days of intentional movement, but I consider several of my workouts “light.” Wednesday, I had killer headache and only managed a sluggish 2 mile jog, but Thursday’s strength workout felt great and left me so very sore. This week’s workouts were a good reminder that workouts don’t need to be long to be effective!

“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 of time 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 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 parasympathetic 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.
