First Date with #Fran

October 31, 2012 by Hillary 12 Comments

Excuse me, October. Where did you go!? Really, though… is it already time to count down the days until Thanksgiving? Unreal. 

One day at time. Let’s talk about today’s meals and moves. There were some good ones!

First things first: breakfast. I celebrated Waffle Wednesday with #GF toaster waffles, almond buttah, banana, hemp seeds and honey. It never gets old.

For lunch: the last bowl of my vegan black bean sweet tater quinoa chili with creamy avocado. Definitely glad I checked that off my Fall Bucket List.

Fast forward to 5:00pm and I was antsy to get moving after a long day at the desk. A fast 4-mile treadmill run in 31:30 (including 5 minutes of walking) was a sweaty way to warm-up for my date with Fran.

Fran is a classic CrossFit benchmark WOD, meaning it’s used to measure your progress. My first official WOD at my new box was “Messed Up Fran” on September 13th, so I had an idea what I was getting myself into; I’ve never done the original WOD, so I was still a little anxious for my date tonight. Unfotrunatly, I can’t compare the two WOD times, as the first included running, but I did make an improvement on the thrusters: 45lbs. to 55lbs. #progress

An intense workout meant a reason to celebrate Halloween in adult fashion (and cross another item off my bucket list).

Hoppy Halloween!! 

Did you celebrate the holiday today?

CrossFit friends, are you a fan of Fran?

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.
