by Ariana Peters, posted in food, healthy lifestyle, school/studying, training

I had a nice easy morning. I finally finished the last chapter in my personal training certification program, now i do some extra studying for the next 1.5 weeks and schedule the exam. 

In the afternoon I had my first lab for biology 101

After class i had a healthy snack

And headed to the gym. Got in a 2.5 mile run

Did some speed intervals 

Dinner was leftover beef and brocolli 

Found the recipe on pintrest 

It was delicious. 

I hoped into bed early and put in a movie

A little sex and the city movie on my ancient but still thankfully functioning TV. 

I had a little snack of doritos and croutons lol

This weekend I am hitting the bulk bins at Winco to make myself a healthy-ish and delicious trail mix to snack on. 

And now its early to bed so I can early to rise for my 8am class. 

Have you worked out lately?

Any new life adventures for you?

Weekend Wrap-up

by Ariana Peters, posted in healthy lifestyle, school/studying, training

So I ran 5 days in a row last week then took Thursday off, Artemis and I took a little walk

It was cold but beautiful 

Anatomy studying 

Enjoyed a cup of coffee out of my new Starbucks ‘You are Here’ mug. I went to Peru 6ish years ago but didn’t hit a Starbucks while I was there because I wasn’t collecting these mugs yet, so my awesome roommate brought me one back when she travelled there over the holidays. 

Friday the boyfriend, the dog and I set out for a 2-3 mile run but i hadn’t waited long enough after a big lunch which resulted in me dry heaving on the side of the road. So the BF dropped me and the dog off at home and he headed out for another 3 miles lol. 

Saturday it snowed so instead of running we headed out and played in the snow with the Artemis. She loved to run. 

Saturday night we cooked and watched some movies. 

Today is a lovely lazy day before I start cramming for the personal training certification exam. I need to take it in about 2 weeks and in other news……

I start back to school tomorrow!!! I am only taking 1 class this quarter, Biology 101. My plan is to go to school part time for the next 2 years so I can still work while I do all my prerequisites then I will apply to a doctorate of physical therapy program. 

I’ll keep you posted. 

How was your weekend?

Blue Apron meal 3

by Ariana Peters, posted in food, healthy lifestyle

I love Mexican food so i was really excited for this…..well i was excited but skeptical, a healthy enchilada??

Did all my meal prep

The house smelled amazing while everything cooked

I love cheese

Overall they tasted good but I need a lot more cheese. I made extra enchiladas to put in the freezer so I might buy some less healthy enchiladas and mix them with the healthy ones. One unhealthy and one healthy enchilada is better than two unhealthy enchiladas right?

I fell asleep before I could post this

5 days in a row running!!!

I am pretty sure this is the first time I have ever run 5 days in a row in my life!! Woohoo!! 

My heart rate stayed pretty high which was nice but I was tired, 5th day in a row made me tired so i fought for every step of my short two miles 

This was the rest of my day

Some HTGAWM (I can’t believe that is an actual acronym that is used, it’s way too long)

How To Get Away With Murder

And a healthy snack, getting back to good eating

I forgot how amazing this tastes. 

How was your day? 

What is the longest consecutive number of days you have run?

Holiday catch up

by Ariana Peters, posted in food, healthy lifestyle, training

My last few days:

Lots of studying 

Mixing in some fun studying 

Still continuing my Gray’s Anatomy bindge 

I made the bf my favorite family breakfast, it’s basically chipped beef on toast, my dad called it SOS and he learned it in the military. 

Artemis liked it too


I ordered some awesome anatomy flashcards to study from

Had another great breakfast 

Really enjoying the sight of my bf’s running shoes by the door. 

And 4 days in a row of running!!! Yay!

How was your Holiday?
