Christian, homeschool mom, runner of 6 half marathons, PR 2:57 so far. Yes I am a slow runner. Small scale homesteading.
Sunday funday/I hit the wall
Another weekend in the books!
I started my day off with a run, it was hot even at 9:15am!!!
We took some shade breaks
I put a wet washcloth on her to help cool her down
I got back and ate a quick lunch then off to kayak with Carra for an hour and a half
Then it was home and rinse off then shove food in my mouth because I had the genius idea to say yes I will go on a hike this afternoon in 100 degree heat. OY.
It was a tough hike by normal standards them add in the what and my 2 previous workouts and lack of fuel and I bonked and I bonked hard (bonking is hitting the wall, like your body runs out of fuel and shuts down).
Luckily I had a big rain poncho, those plastic ones you get at the dollar store or Walmart and laid that out to lay on.
Got Artemis out of the sun and fed a bottle and a half of water
I had some beautiful views.
I saw this lean-to someone made
After they picked me back up and we made it to the car we stopped and got food, sat on the shade on a patio with the dogs and gorged ourselves……..actually I’m kind of getting hungry again.
I burned almost 1500 calories today working out, that doesn’t include the calories it takes just for my body to work every day. OK well I’m exhausted and it’s sleep time. Artemis is always passed out. Thank goodness it’s supposed to cool back down!!
Have you ever hit the wall?
Saturday stuff
I didn’t set an alarm this morning and did it was wonderful. I love sleeping in. Of course now sleeping in for me is 8am so yea.
Roommate and I took the dogs to the dog park, then off we headed to the gym
I also did the stair master for 7 min. That sh*t is tough!!!
After that my day was spent just relaxing and spending time with my dog since I’ve been out late the last 2 nights.
I made a yummy lunch (with lots of leftovers, happy face)
And treated myself to a Starbucks
My last one as I am going to try to cut out all refined sugar. One day at a time Ariana, heck one meal at a time for me.
Then Stitchfix showed up! The only bad thing is it showed up early and I am broke until payday next Friday. Thankfully most of it is not flattering this box around. The only thing I wish I could have kept is the dress.
Skirt. It has pockets which is awesome and is semi pleated but doesn’t rock my world
A close up of the top, so unflattering
Another top, again it just doesn’t sit well on my body. Like at all.
The dress. I actually like it and it’s not something I would normally wear so I would have loved to push myself outside my comfort zone but oh well, maybe next time. So I kept nothing and will send it all back next week.
Oh and there was a jacket I forgot to take a picture of but it was too big.
Mmmmm breakfast for dinner.
Just started reading this. So far I like it.
How was your Saturday?
How much does it suck to live paycheck to paycheck?
A lot!!!
What are you reading right now?
What is the last piece of clothing you bought?
TGIF
Oh today. Work was fine but apartment hunting drama ensued today. Am apartment I had applied for slipped through my fingers today due to, what I am guessing will turn out to be a clerical error on another management companies watch, caused me to lose the appointment.
These were nessesary today
Mixed some coffee in with my protein powder today.
Shared some of a coworkers energy drink.
Chocolate was also nessesary.
However this is supposed to work out it will.
I will of course keep you posted.

The end my trip was nice, we tried to go to the gym and swim Morning but the pool was closed because the office was closed, don’t ask me to explain it cause i can’t lol.
Then we went to the beach for lunch, which sadly was dissapointing, especially considering the prices, oy.
But the dogs had a blast at the beach!
These pictures make me soooo happy, seeing how happy she is.
Mom was freezing though hahaha.
After a LOOOOONG drive home, at least it felt that way there was no way i was cooking

Saturday
“In the state of Washington, under a near constant cover of clouds and rain, there is a small town named Forks. Population: 3,120 (though now I think it said 3,125). – Bella Swan
I’m in forks!!!! The home of sparkly vampires!!!
We started the day with a quick workout
Then commenced with lunch where we were joined by a few guests
and sight seeing.
We hit the Cullen house and saw Charlie’s police cruiser
Bella’s truck and the visitor center
Check out where all the different visitors have come from!!!! That is sooooo cool.
Bella’s house
First beach.
Took the dog for a little run in the park next door
It was a fun day!!!!
Road trip!!!!
Happy friday!!!
It was a good Friday, my boss brought me back a post card from Paris, we know how I love post cards
She also brought back yummy treats to try!
Went into work early and got off early to start my drive at a decent time.
Artemis and i’s first road trip together!!!!
Thankfully I only got stuck in about 20-30 minutes of traffic
Then it was all beautiful scenery!!
Until I stopped for a bathroom break and someone made a mess while I was gone
Guess my car is ‘broken in’ now lol.
Had to head into
To get some
To clean up the lovely mess. Then it was on the road and I reached my destination around 11:15pm. Which is way past my bedtime so goodnight!!!!!
Thursday thoughts
Work was good today, very steady which made it go pretty quickly.
My awesome coworker bought me sushi for lunch, I have been craving it for awhile but have been too broke to buy it.
It was gooooooood.
I raced home after work because we were supposed to have a showing of the house tonight that I needed to be here for. 15 minutes before they were supposed to arrive they cancelled. Sooooo annoying!
Oh well I spent the rest of the night relaxing and packing
I can’t wait to get away for the weekend!!!
