get inspired, get life.

January 3, 2012 by Hillary 13 Comments

Hey hey!

Warning. Randomness ahead. As if today’s a.m. post wasn’t already random enough!

First thing. Guest post @ Get Fit Get Life: A New Year, A New {Healthy Eating} Mindset — Have you heard of intuitive eating?

Second thing. It’s Running Tuesday. I didn’t run today. Second day “off” after my 40-mile streak. Instead, I did a 30-minute treadmill workout + 24-minute fitness routine. Running shall resume manana.

Third thing. Lunch today was superb. I could see my insides smiling with each crunchy bite of kale.

raw kale. black beans. avocado. dried cranberries. chevre.
doused in thick balsamic vinegar + drizzle of olive oil

Fourth thing. Naturally I followed my fiber-rich lunch with dark chocolate + 2 cups of metabolism-boosting green tea.

Fifth thing. Look what I stumbled upon. I wish it was dated. My guess is middle school, possibly early high school (swam through sophomore year). Some things never change.

Last thing. I finally finished my 2012 inspiration board, inspired by the lovely Fitnessista. I spy 26.2 and D-O-I-N-G, a couple things on my Twenty Twelve To-Do List.

I’m hungry. Dinner time!

See ya later,

Hill

eat more kale.

September 25, 2011 by Hillary 8 Comments

Hello again!

Hope y’all had an enjoyable weekend. I did – relaxing, but semi-productive. Now it’s time to prepare for Week 6. School is in high gear – group projects galore, weekly nutrition club responsibilities, and I have my first exam this Thursday.

Being busy busy doesn’t stop me from eating a nutritious, whole foods, (mostly) plant-based diet though. I got the idea for the salad below from Living with Healthy Hunger and have been craving the dark, leafy greens almost daily. Just thought I’d share!

raw kale + black beans, avocado, creamy goat cheese, raw sunflower seeds, seasoned rice vinegar, olive oil & fresh black pepper – I dig it!

Eat More Kale.

* * *

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve made a few minor changes around the ol’ blog, and today I launched a NEW PAGE! I had a lot of fun digging through the Nutrition Nut archives and finding posts that have been hiding, and most likely have been forgotten. If you’re a new reader, check it out! Still more to come :)

Typing my blog into Google (love!) and having this come up at the top of the list made me smile.

It’s the little things.

 

Have a wonderful week!

“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.
