Thursday Things

March 7, 2013 by Hillary 14 Comments

1. I am completely out of nut butter. How must I start my day?

2. I can’t keep up with my overflowing laundry basket now that I’m exercising regularly again. It doesn’t help that my new apartment has an itty bitty washer and six loads per week is the norm.

3. Yesterday – after I deadlifted 145 pounds and Rx’ed the WOD – I scolded myself for scrutinizing my body in spandex. 

4. This weekend, I will get to be with ALL of my family for my grandpa’s memorial. I couldn’t be happier.

5. Banana Walnut Chocolate Cookie Cake is going to happen in my kitchen real soon. It will be joyous. Want to come over? I’ll make extra strong coffee, too. 

6. My mother keeps me on my toes. After receiving not one, but two, emails from my mom written in her (much appreciated) “red pen”, I made a couple of changes to Weekend Things – one regarding a “PG-13” reference, and the second, for a silly spelling slip. What would would I do without her?

7. Also happening this weekend… a Whole Foods excursion. I hope I can manage not to break the bank!

8. I’m okay with permanent blisters on my palms if it means I get to play at the box and sport toned arms this Spring.

Whole Foods makes me a very happy girl.

I haven’t learned to bargain shop very well =/

I’d say said adorable reusable bag is a bargain at $0.99 though!

I was in hog heaven yesterday as I sauntered around the brand new Whole Foods market in Santa Rosa in my new uber comfortable Frees, sipping hibiscus kombucha. I’m sure I looked liked a total “healthie”. At least I fit in some where ;)

Are you a regular Whole Foods shopper?

“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.
