Saturday vs. Sunday {& Weekly Workouts}

January 26, 2014 by Hillary 9 Comments

Yesterday was a fabulous day.

Today sucks (says Negative Nancy).

Saturday

(+) productive early morning

(+) quick outdoor workout

(+) weather: sunny and 75F

(+) bubble gum pink pedicure with girlfriends

(+) lunch al fresco with girlfriends

(+) successful shopping: Lucky sandals, swim suit, adorable picture frame (for Instagram photos)

(+) finish IIN module for the week

Sunday

(+) run in the park with Grace

(+) delicious homemade juice made by Grace

(-) embarrassing recipe flop: I had high hopes for the Minimalist Baker’s Vegan Coconut Carrot Pancakes; yet, somewhere, something went askew because the dense, oily cakes weren’t what I had intended to serve Grace for breakfast.

(-) fight with the bathroom scale – ugh!

(-) splatter soy sauce on my favorite Lulu top

(-) cut the same knuckle of my pre-injured thumb

juice

apple / beet / carrot / orange / kale / ginger

ridiculously sore today (Sunday) from this dirty (literally) workout; legs are toast!

so thankful for pain-free runs!

It was another pretty solid week of exercise over here — a fairly equal mix of cardio and strength, with a mix of intensities as well. I’m very happy that I ran approximately 11 miles pain-free (hey, it’s progress!).

Weekly Workouts

January 19, 2014 by Hillary 6 Comments

Life has been nutty this week. ALL the kinds of busy from working overtime to diving in to my first week of school… and fitting life in between the gaps (a new roommate, gym time, freelance articles, etc.).

Luckily, the boy came to town for the weekend and we enjoyed some much needed R&R: massages, Moscow Mules, a run/bike ride through the park, visit to the farmers’ market, and wholesome, home-cooked meals.

Workouts | Week of January 13

Monday (gym) – 55 min. TM walk + 3 bosu ball sets

Tuesday – Rest Day 

Wednesday (gym) – 30 min. TM run / 15 min. TM walk + 3 dumbbell sets & abs

Thursday (gym) – 20 min. Stair Master + 15 min TM run / 5 min. TM walk + 3 x 10 thrusters @ 25lb. + 3 x 10 deadlift & curl @ 30lb. + hamstring machine (5 sets each leg)

Leg (and booty) day!

Friday (gym) – 15 min. TM walk / 10 min. TM run + 25 burpees + 50 spiderman plank jacks

Mentally and physically exhausted from a long week

Saturday – Rest Day 

Sunday – 5.4 mile run

Today’s early afternoon run was a sunny spectacular. Shorts and tank top in mid-January!? Something is wrong with this picture, but the Vitamin D felt so good. And my knee… well, it handled 5.4 miles with minimal discomfort.

I Need A Gym {& 2014 Workouts}

January 12, 2014 by Hillary 19 Comments

Working out: so far, so good in 2014. My knee does bother me still, but the emotional breakdowns about my injury are fewer and farther between (ahem, last Wednesday). I’ve been running a wee bit and strength training often. 

I have a free week pass to a local gym, so I’ve spent the past three days there (pro: it’s close to home) trying out their group exercise classes/testing the waters to see if I want to get a membership. (Why do gyms make you commit for 12 months!? Ergh.) 

I need a gym. While I’ve really enjoyed my home workouts the past six plus months — proving to myself that I don’t need a fancy fitness facility or marathon training plan to keep me fit — I need the environment of a gym. I am a gym rat, plain and simple. No gym I join will ever compare to The WREC, but I’ve come to terms with that; dusty, 90’s equipment in a crowded, community gym must suffice.

#happynewyear
❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣

I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
