Hump day!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Got up and hit the gym this morning for strength training. Yes i slept good last night. Thank goodness!!!
No auntie tina it’s not the coffee lol. I’m drinking less than i ever have.

The gym was hard but awesome. I’ve lost another lbs!! Woohoo. I can feel the muscles developing and i am loving my body and starting to feel soooo good!.

image

My gym bag and blender bottle are pretty much a constant in my car these days hahaha.

image

I went grocery shopping when i was hungry and got Gardettos or whatever that snack is so i limited my portions.

image

Lunch was tomato, basil, and mozzarella on this delicious bread from the bakery at Fred Meyers. I also got some aged smoked cheddar YUM!!!!

There was still sun when i got home so Artemis and i went for a little walk run

image

Had the second half of my leftover salmon for dinner

image

And now its off to bed so i can hit the  gym even earlier than normal because my trainer instructed me to swim AND spin before work.

Night Night!!

Weekend Wrapup

Noooooooo!!!!! It’s sunday night again.
Back to the grind we go.

Yesterday i hit the pool for a little 30min workout.

image

image

Then in the afternoon it was off to an orientation meeting because i will be working weeknds at a festival up here at the farm my roommate works out for the next 7 weeks. Except the 3 days i have races.

Dinner was the delicious Salmon and veggies i had made Friday night with a southwest salad.

image

image

And i watched Kiss The girls since i finished the book.

image

Sunday it was long run day. 5 miles

image

I taped my knees to be safe since they were sore at the end of the week.

I took the dog out running with me. We only got about half a mile until the drizzle started to pour then turned into hail. She didnt like that too much so we turned around and brought her
back home.

image

image

Then i went back out and braved the  elements to run 5 more miles. It misted, rained, poured and hailed. It was in interesting run lol.

image

image

Me looking like a drowned rat after my run. Also i look like i was crying. I am guessing that is the rain running all my sweat into my eyes.

And now its sleep time.

How was your weekend?

Do your weekends fly by too?

Weekend Wrap up

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

The rain managed to actually stay away most of the weekend which was lovely.  It hit Saturday night and late today afternoon/evening.

Last night poor Artemis didnt feel too good. Her tummy was making all kinds of crazy sounds and she wasn’t hungry. She got better though thankfully and when i woke up her food was eaten and she has gotten better and better today.

image

image

My guess is she either ate something she shouldn’t have or just had a little upset tummy. Either way it just needed to work its way out of her system which it did today.

The roomies and i FINALLY took our tree down…….yes i mean Christmas tree lol. It only took us until March..not too bad right? Lol

On another but way worse roomie note, my roommates care got stolen out of our driveway last night?! I feel so bad for her. I am so thankful my car has an alarm and GPS so the cops can track it if anything ever happens. Knock on wood.

Other sad news i own almost 5k in medical bills from my surgery in October. Insurance denied my paying more because it was an out of network provider. Oy, this being an adult stuff rocks. Thankfully i can set up a payment plan.

In happier news…..
The tomato and pepper starters are exploding!!!

image

I am so excited!

Also i ran 4 miles today!!! And the 4 miles we outside!!!!

image

image

Artemis ran the first 1.5 miles with me then she got tired so i dropped her off at home. Shes getting over  her tummy troubles so i didn’t want to push it. 

So i workout a pretty good amount. These are the things that help keep me going. Along with pre-workout, protien and recovery but ill talk about that another day.

image

I also did a lot of reading this weekend which was glorius.

image

Do you take any suppliments?

What’s the weather like where you are?

If you have dogs, do they run with you?

TGIF

Happy Friday!!! Like so many Americans i live for the weekends.
Today will be a short and sweet post.

Got up and took Artemis for a walk/jog before work. I think thats a really good time to walk her because there are less people out and about. I think as it continues to warm up we will be good running buddies.

image

I thought that was a good quote.

image

Reached my step goal! Woot Woot!

image

The tomatoes and peppers are doing awesome!!!!

image

I am so grateful for my sweet girl. She has cuddled with me many a night that i have cried or just needed some cuddles during this breakup and all the drama with it. I am sad again tonight and having her here is a great comfort.

Goodnight i hope you had a great Friday night!

Shopping Saturday

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Hi!!!

I slept in this morning. Took it easy on my body so it can fight off whatever is now going around.

I met a friend at the mall and we did some shopping. We both did pretty well as far as bang for our buck (suddenly wondering where that saying came from…….)

Got home and took Artemis to the dog park

image

I didn’t chase her as much as i normally do but she still got a little energy out.

Then i read for a little bit and met  a date for coffee…….oy. Tonight pretty much made me want to give up on dating. I won’t go into all the details but yea. I wonder if i will ever find someone.

I think it might be time to take a little dating break. I’ll keep you posted.

How was your Saturday?

Weekend Wrap-up

Not too much going on this weekend.

Did spin class Saturday morning

image

Hit target for some travel sized supplies.

Took Artemis to the dog park.

image

Tried Hormel vegetarian chili for the first time….not as good as Nally’s in my opinion.

Had some serious anxiety about dropping Artemis off at my roommates parents house for my trip.

image

I am slowly relaxing but will constantly have it in the back of my head until i pick her back up.

Now it’s time for bed, i got sucked into Grease Live and stayed up later than i would have like.

How was your weekend?

Any advice for relaxing when leaving dogs/kids with other people forba vacation or whatever weekend?

What is the opposite of thirsty thursday?

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

I almost didn’t get up for spin class. I already wanted to go back to sleep then Artemis cuddled up to me and i soooo wanted to skip spin but then i thought about having to tell my trainer i didn’t go and that ill be gone next week so yea….

image

I got my butt up and went……and wanted to die.  Spin class instructors are sadistic. But they get me to push above and beyond so yea.

image

Take a moment to enjoy and experience this. ……a completely empty locker room at the gym. For like a FULL MINUTE. This is unheard of at my gym.

Exhaustion does not cover what i feel. 4 workouts in 48 hours. I am so taking tomorrow off workouts. I am still going to bed early even though i get to ‘sleep in’ tomorrow.

image

They have these for dogs!!!! 3 flavors where on sale at target so i got 1 of each for Artemis to try. Tonight with her kibble she had pumpkin and oat puree. She enjoyed it.

Another thing we must acknowledge

image

It was not fully dark when i left work tonight!!!!!!!! The light is coming back!!! I am sooo stoked!

How was your Thursday?

Are you as exhausted as i am?

My bed feels like heaven.

Goonight.

Mid-week exhaustion

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

This is going to be a short post because i am exhausted and want to pass out.

I did 3 workouts in a 24 hour period and with spinning tomorrow it will be 4 in 48 hours so sleep is vital.

I felt the exhaustion in the pool this morning. I didn’t have my normal stamina and got out of breath faster.

image

I bought Artemis some bones to chew on

image

In about 2 hours she ate half of it. Woman’s a beast! My friend B said her dog takes a dew months to eat one!

I was good this morning and got oatmeal from Starbucks instead of the crap i normally get…….

image

Why have i not done this before?! Its delicious!!!!!

Though when i get back from hawaii i need to come up with a better routine because not just coffee but also breakfast at Starbucks 3+ times a week is a little too rich for my blood.

Ok and now its pass out time.

Good Night!!!!

How was your wednesday?

Have you been working out?

I love hearing Artemis snore lol It is the sweetest sound.

Weekend wrapup

Another weekend gone.

I felt totally fine today no stomach bug symptoms.

I didn’t got to yoga cause truthfully it sucked last week lol. My roommate C went and she said it was better so ill go next week. Artemis and i chilled on the couch and caught up on some TV shows.

After C got back from yoga we took the dogs to the park park and let them run around for about 45 min until they seemed tired. Went i say let them run around i mean half the time i chased or ran from them to get them moving. Both dogs are making progress at being more social and running around without me. Slowly but surely.

After the dog park more tv watching and relaxing. She was tuckered out

image

In the evening i did my 3rd couch to half marathon workout for this week but didn’t push too hard. My knees were sore. Probably from  pushing last night to PR then running at the dog park this morning. I iced knees while dinner cooked

image

.

So while i was running i started listening to season 1 episode 1 or whatever its called of the podcast serial. A bunch of bloggers have talked about it and now i see why. I am hooked!!!! I’ve listened to like 4 episodes tonight!
