Tuesday Tidbits | 4.8.14

April 8, 2014 by Hillary 15 Comments

Here we go… Tuesday Tidbits, Round 12.

1. A huge shipment from Pressed Juicery is in route to my door, so feel free to stop by during happy hour this week for a kale cocktail.

2. If you haven’t already, enter to win my $50 Albion Fit Giveaway! Albion has all the goods to brighten up your spring workout wardrobe.

3. Did you hear that I ran 8.5 miles on Saturday!? I still can’t believe it. I think it has been close to a year and half since I’ve ran said distance. Although I’ve surpassed one of my April Intentions, I do hope to accomplish one to two more long runs this month.

4. With plans of increased running, I am in the market for a new pair of sneaks. Anyone have any input on the Mizuno Wave Rider 17?

5. Bad news… my cold cereal for dinner habit has struck again. As a Love Blogger, problems like this exist when you get a  “love drop” of Power O’s, Love Grown Food’s newest product (which, by the way, gets two thumbs up).

6. My journey to become a certified holistic health coach is zooming by. The pace of my work load is picking up slightly, but I feel more inspired by IIN’s program with each new module that I open.

7. I get excited when P tells me he bought kombucha at Whole Foods. (It’s the little things.) If you haven’t caught onto the kombucha craze, read up >> Probiotics 101.

8. Spring has officially sprung… meaning I need to make mint iced coffee and eat strawberry salads on the regular.

9. I recently made a pot of coconut curry carrot soup with carrots from my company’s estate garden. Six ingredients. Devoured it.

10. Other recipes in my kitchen as of late >> coconut cashew crunch granola // apricot oat bars // raw broccoli salad // superfood pesto // 3-minute banana peanut butter oatmeal.

“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.
