Tuesday Tidbits | 2.11.14

February 11, 2014 by Hillary 11 Comments

The first TT post debuted last February; here we are – February Fourteen – with ten more Tuesday tidbits…

1. Tonight is Bachelor night! I am always a week behind because I watch it via the Internet. I may have to try The Bachelor Workout during the show… knowing me though, I’ll probably sit on my rear end and eat gelato.

2. Speaking of gelatooo, you do not want to miss the high protein gelato giveaway!

3. Here’s something that is rather annoying: my jeans are all tight on my left leg… just the left leg! I’ve been noticing this the past few weeks and I don’t like it. The only sensible, and probable, answer I can come up with is that I have been favoring my injured right knee; by putting more of my bodyweight onto my left leg, I’ve developed more muscle mass. Let’s hope that is the story anyway.

4. Kauai countdown: 31 days! Holy guacamole. Tell me your tropical island to-dos!

5. I recently framed a bunch of Instagram photos using FoxGram – prints are very reasonable. Instagram walls are awesome, don’t you agree?

6. Want to know my new favorite things about Tuesday mornings? What’s New Lululemon emails in my inbox. Don’t worry, I don’t purchase something new every Tuesday… but I am waiting for a Lulu package from the postman.

7. I have been drinking cocktails every day… twice a day. Apple cider vinegar “cocktails” — gotcha! With my lunch and dinner, I sip on 8 ounces of cold water with 1/2-1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar. Check out this post from Brittany about the health benefits of ACV.

8. I am craving creamy avocado pasta in a major way. Today I bought a huge *ss Bacon avocado (I swear!) at the natural food store. I must get out my food processor stat.

9. In school this week, we are learning all about raw foods and entrepreneurship/financial goals – diverse, huh? (I promise I’ll write an IIN update soon…)

10. I must replenish my beloved Costco-sized bag of organic, USA-grown frozen blueberries ASAP. My morning oatmeal just isn’t the same without that antioxidant bang.

“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.
