Of course the directions were nice and easy to follow.

20151026_192005 we prepped everything before hand so it was ready during the cooking process.

When you are done cooking the directions tell you how to plate it, so far both my dishes have looked like the pictures on their directions.

Monday I tried to take only half pain pills and spread them out past the every 6 hours that is prescribed. I have to get used to less since i am supposed to go back to work on Wednesday, I might need to just do a half day on Wednesday because sitting for several hours is painful and i can only sit in certain positions….. we will see how i feel tonight. I will keep you posted.

How is everyones week going?

What did you make for dinner last night?

Howdy friends!!!!

I hope everyones day is going good 🙂

Today is my Friday, which rocks, but it also means i have to get everything ready for my co-workers and tie up all loose ends becuase i will be out Friday, Monday and Tuesday due to surgery and recovery. (Hopefully that is all i am out).

So last night i made my first Blue Apron meal, Shrimp Perloo.

Everything came pre-labeled and pre-portioned.

I really like that.

The directions are super easy to follow

20151021_182722

My mom and i prepped everything together. Then i did the cooking and plating.

20151021_183104

They send you good quality ingrediants.

20151021_182739

and they tell you how to plate it so it looks pretty.

20151021_190241

It was delicious!!

I read the reviews before i made it so i knew to only use about 1/2 the spices they sent becuase it had a bite to it. I really liked it but my mom, who has no tolerance for spicyness, her eyes were watering a bit hahahahahahaha.

And i am excited it made way more than neccesary. My mom and i both ate until we were full then i packed some for lunch to eat today and put one meal’s worth in the freezer for later. So i got 4 servings out of this!!!

After dinner i hopped on the stationary bike and my mom walked on the treadmill for about 43 min…….aka one episode of grey’s anatamy hahaha.

I am being good and eating fruit today…..though i might have some Annie’s mac and cheese for a snack this afternoon.

Have my last training appt tonight (until i am healed up from surgery) at 7pm.

Have to check in tomorrow at 6am for surgery.

I will try and post tomorrow afternoon if i am not too loopy from the pain meds hahahaha.

How is your day going?

What a day

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Well today has not gone quite the way i pictured it.

My mom showed up with donuts, i was pretty good and just had a taste of the different kinds.

image

image

Later my mom and i were heading toward a car dealership where i had an appointment and stopped at Panda Express. Again i tried to be good only had a bowl and ate about 3/4 of it. I found a car that seems like a good deal

image

2014 Ford something lol, but oh yea i dont have an Oregon drivers license yet or proof of Oregon citzenship or whatever which means if i buy a car right now i have to pay sales tax. How did i not think of that?!!!

So now i have to scramble this week to get my license, which means coming into work late one day or taking a long lunch……the week that i am already taking friday off for surgery. Ugh!!!!!!

Can nothing ever be simple?!
K rant over.

After that frustration, and a few tears of frustration, mom and i headed to the gym and got in some cardio.

Then we ordered some salad and pizza and are watching tv.

Tomorrow since car shopping is off for now, i think im going to drag my mom to a corn maze. My poor bf has been working so much we haven’t gotten to go together. Tomorrow night the bf is meeting my mother!!!!! Let’s hope it’s going well.

What are your weekend plans?
