A productive evening 

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

When I got off work i was in a bad mood. It was a combination of just being frustrated with work and starting my period and probably grumpiness from eating so much crap lately, thankfully that is slowly changing, but still just a bad mood. 

Anyways I sat in traffic and made it home. I got a load of laundry started and some dishes done, then relaxed with an ice cream and watched an episode of bachelor in paradise……in know how lame lol

I decided to run when the sun went down. After my ice cream I got the clean clothes hung up on the line to dry then changed clothes and headed out. 

I went out just me and my ipod shuffle, left the puppy at home. Since I was in a bad mood I knew her stopping me to smell things would frustrate me. 

Just me and the sunset 

Got in just over 2 miles

My knees were a little sore since I’ve stepped the running back up pretty quickly, I’ve added miles and speed which you are not supposed to do, bad me. 

I need to work on that. 

Had battered fish fillets and garlic bread with bolognase sauce on it lol

Look at those ears!!!!!! 

I am in a better mood now. Running really is therapy. 

Good night. 

Huuump day!!!!

Woooooo almost half way through the week!!!!!

I dragged my butt out of bed this morning to get in a quick, short run.

It took me a little while to wake up hahahahaha 

I got in 2 miles with the pup. 

Chugged a little protien shake.

Sadly I left the rest of my corn out last night……..all night , I’m a little wary to eat it now, what do you think? Can corn go bad? It had non-dairy butter on it so that should be ok…….idk. 

What is the most questionable food you’ve eaten?

A low key night

After work I headed to the gym to meet up with a friend and pump some iron lol

Post workout protien

I decided to pin curl my hair tonight

My adorable dog

And a post workout snack

I also had 2 batter fish fillets but I got hungry and devoured them before I could take a picture hahahahaaha 

How was your night? Did you get in a sweat session?

Book on Tape review

Yep this is the series True Blood is based on.

I have watched the entire series. I was through i think the 4th or 5th season of the TV showe before i ever knew there was a book series. This is book one, I got it during a sale on, you guessed it, Audible.

I enjoyed the book, i was supprised at how closely season 1 followed the book. There were of course differences, one major one is that Tara is not in the books, which for me was awesome because her character in the TV show was always pissing me off!

This was a fun read, easy to engage in while running or work or driving, doesnt take a lot of focus. I would suggest it for anyone who liked the show or enjoys this kind of genre.

Weekend wrapup

I kept my entire Stitchfix box!! I loved it all and so did my roommate. We’ll be sharing some of the clothes hahahahaha!!

Do you want to try Stitchfix? Click here.

This morning Artemis and I went for a little run

I took us down by the river again, this time because it was warm, thankfully not as hot as the last 3 days but still warm so I took us down to the water to cool off a bit. I fell on the way down, graceful as ever lol. This is me resting afterwards 

A blackberry bushes attacked me on my way down

I’ll pull through though. 

By the time we got home it was a little warm

Update on the dryer, i got the lines wioed down so we are now successfully back to the 1800s

Sometimes it takes forever 2 dry!!! I got 1 load washed and dried as did you roommate. We will have to conserve clothes to make this work until we get a replacement dryer all worked out. 

A few more boxes got unpacked and some dishes done and put away. Slowly but surely we are settling in. 

How was your weekend?

No long run this week either

Next week, no matter what I HAVE to go for a long run. Even if it’s hot and I have to do a few miles in the morning then do the rest at the gym or something. 

 I have given myself 1 hour this morning to have some breakfast and relax then I have to get out and get at least 4 miles done and I can maybe add a few tonight. 

It’s difficult because I feel like I have so much to do, but I need to run to A) stay sane and B) you know train for that little marathon I have coming up lol

Once top of needing to unpack our new place has no dishwasher so I am trying to slowly make it through all the dishes and Tupperware that I’ve had sitting in boxes so I can get them cleaned and put away…..OH MY God dishes take soooo to dry. And our new washer and dryer…..well the washer works, the dryer stopped during the first load and won’t start again. Gotta figure that out but that means no laundry. 

We do have a line in the backyard 


But apparently you are supposed to wipe it down before you use it…..this is going to be interesting.  

On a happier note I got my Stitchfix and LOVE it! So does my roommate lol. She is going to buy the box with me 

Shirt dress

Cardigan, love the pockets

Cute take top that I can wear with jeans or this awesome skirt….

And this bangle

Sorry for the ranting I’m just in a mood. And since the kitchen isn’t unpacked I’ve been eating crap fast food and way too much of it which I know does not help my patience and happiness. 

She passes out during the heat and refuses to help. 

Happy Saturday!!!

I slept in this morning and was sooooo happy about it. I three some dog food in the slow cooker 

It had pork, apple, yam

Fresh green beans

And then I picked up some frozen bag so I could rip and dump


This will be my 2nd time making slow cooker dog food. So far Artemis LOVED it. I do 3/4 the slow cooker dog food and 1/4 her kibble stuff. It is much more cost effective for me which is awesome and it’s healthy for her and she loves it. So I see a win win!!!

Then I met my friend and got my nails done

A fun POP color. And I got my hair deep conditioned. It needed it. My hair feels a lot better. Now it’s time to do some unpacking!!! While watching old episodes of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders making the team lol.

TGIF

Finally Friday!!!!!

I dragged my butt out bed and headed to the gym before work 

My gym bag is still packed with stuff so one of my larger purses was my gym bag

Breakfast was subway 

Work wasn’t too bad today, went by pretty quick. 
Was falling asleep just after 3pm, probably because taco bell was my lunch. So I was lucky and someone made me some espresso 

Good espresso too. 

Got home and my roommate and I went to olive garden 

I ate waaaaaaay too much. 

My roommate and I are a little weirded out, when she got home our backdoor was open…..nothing was taken but it was just open and it let all the 100 degree heat in……..I’ll keep you posted on the situation. 

Sunset Run

I slept in this morning as previously stated so I had planned on going to the gym tonight but realized I might see someone I don’t want to, nothing bad I just don’t want to deal with this person if I don’t have to so I came home and waited for the sun to go down then headed out for a short run. 

It was a little warm

It was a short run

I love this fountain not too far from my house. It has a doggy fountain!!!

I came home and iced knee, it was feeling a little funky

And cooled off with a popsicle 

Oooh on another happy note it was ice cream day at work!!

Now I need to shower and get to bed so I can hit the gym in the AM.
