Life Changes and So Must We

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

Hi!!!!! I originally set this blog up to chronicle my journey hiking the PCT, AT and CDT but plans changed. While that is still a goal for me one day, my foreseeable plans have changed so I thought the blog needed a bit of an updated look.

My life is now about becoming a nurse, getting back into shape and turning our quarter acre plot of land into a little farm, or at least as much of a farm as he will let me hahahahaha!!!!

There will still be hiking, running and food posts plus so much more! I hope you will continue this journey with me!

I only worked out twice this week! I started a new fitness program and I pushed it a little too hard. I tweaked my knee, taped it Tuesday evening. It’s still a little funky but its doing much better. Wednesday I took the tape off my knee and then taped my calf.

I was sort of a hot mess. I did an arm workout on Thursday then didn’t work out again the rest of the week. So happy Monday and I am starting from the beginning again! But I won’t go crazy tonight and reinjur my knee and calf.

How was your week?

My blueberry mixture turned out more like blueberry cookie dough, maybe because I used 1/3 butter and 2/3 crisco (I ran out of butter) so instead of mini loaf pans I stuck it in a shallow rectangle pan and make them slightly healthier cookies. Heat them up later with some ice cream!!!

I also bought a cantaloupe and cut that up for snacks this week.

Did you food prep this week?

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!!
