June

The goals for the year broken down for the month

revamp my diet and STICK TO IT!!!! Down 7 lbs!!!!

Get A’s in all my classes this year. Current % 100, but class also just started.

Drop two clothing sizes, go from a 10 to a 6. Still at a 10 but things are fitting soooooo much better!

Stop overspending!!!! Continue not keeping money on me, adding to accounts and adding to savings Money saved: $100 in my acorns acct.

Take a few minutes every day to sit in quiet reflection, meditate, and do something spiritual. 10 min/day, full and new moon and holidays Out of 30 days I did: zero

Continue to work on and grow my relationship with Brandon. 1 outing a week and 1 meal a week

4 outings- dinner and a movie one date night. Date box and I think the other 2 weekends were just chill. Oh one was a beach day.

4 meals- we eat together every night but generally I cook.

This was a harder week for me, for whatever reason I was EXHAUSTED this week. Everyday was a struggle and I ended up working out 4 out of 7 days. Not my best week but I will take it. I still worked out more days than I didn’t.

Tired after my workout.

New favorite!!!! Chocolate shakology, frozen strawberries, milk, a smidge of sugar free vanilla creamer, a little coffee (in my life there is no such thing as too much coffee) and some water to thin it out…..tastes like a chocolate milkshake!!!! Soooooo good!!!!

Arm muscles are slowly coming along!

In case I didn’t mention it, I’m down 6 lbs so far!!

She snuggles with me pre and post workout

Don’t forget to stretch!!!!!

Did you workout this week?

Weeds and the organic garden

by Ariana Peters, posted in food, House/dating/life

This isn’t about weeds or a garden but I finally hung up a wind chime that I bought at some swap meet on a family camping trip…..14 years ago!!!! I kid you not, it was wrapped in a newspaper from 2004.

Peas !!!!! So excited to start eating some sugar snap peas!

Hanging basket from Costco, I’m pretty happy with it. It’s really pretty.

Ok so weeds, I let Brandon spray some of the yard when we started on the yard but not the majority of it. I didn’t want a bunch of pesticides in the ground right before we planted crops. And of course we aren’t spraying the plants now so we inevitably get weeds.

I let them get a little ahead of me in the beginning which i won’t do next year but now everyday when I water i spend about 15-20 minutes weeding one area of the garden. It’s not much time and I just pick out what I can see or easily get to. There are always still weeds left and sometimes I look back where I was just weeding and swear there is a weed in the exact spot I already pulled one but i also love those few quiet moments in the garden.

Basically if you dont use anything to kill the weeds there will always be weeds, don’t stress too much about it. Make sure your plants have room to grow and their roots have room to grow and don’t worry too much about the rest. Just do what you can.

Do you have a garden?

What are you growing?
