on the bright side.

January 8, 2012 by Hillary 10 Comments

Well, hey there! Happy Sunday to ya.

This morning I woke up knowing I had a 9-mile training run on the agenda, but I wasn’t at all eager to get out from under my comfy covers. I begged my Dad to ride alongside on his bike for moral support, layered up, laced up, and was almost out the door when my new running toy read “low battery”. I gave it a few minutes to juice up and crossed my fingers it would hold out for the entirety of my route.

Just a little after mile 7, I looked at my watch to see a black screen… and then some ugly words shot out of my mouth. Why now? Why my long run? Ugh, frustration. I tried not to let go of all motivation and cruised along home, which I calculated – using gmap-pedometer – to be approximately 2 miles.

On the bright side, it was a b-e-a-u-tiful morning, I felt strong, I conquered the hills, and I #gotitdone.

I fixed my grumpy attitude with pancakes and iced coffee.

I made my favorite pancake recipe gluten-free using oat flour and, again, it was a success!

You can find the adapted recipe on my NEW RECIpage – woo!

I am so excited about this new addition to the blog. Casey + Emily have created an amazing recipe platform for the blogging community. I have many many more recipes to enter, so in the meantime, my original recipe page is still up for your browsing pleasure.

Enjoy the day!

TOUR DE TRINIDAD II

Distance: 33.0 miles
Time: 2 hours 41 minutes
Average Speed: 12.3mph – there was some climbing, indeed.

I was curious how our stats scaled with our Tour de Trinidad ride last summer. How weird that our distance, time, and average speed were nearly identical!

A very beautiful and enjoyable way to x-train… and burn a bucket of calories!

Once home, I inhaled 1 huge g-free buckwheat + flax pancake (prepared with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, egg, chia seeds and oil) topped with 0% plain Greek yogurt, fresh berries and drizzle of maple syrup.

I’m off to coffee with a friend and then I must study study study before dinner with the aunts + uncles…

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

HELP! Is anyone noticing that my photos are overlapping when you view my posts!? I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know because this is not how I intend to format my posts. It doesn’t show up on my monitor that way, so I am curious as it doesn’t appear the same way on my parents’ screens =/

“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.
