Random Saturday stuff

April 2, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

It is 7:45pm and i am exhausted. I am sitting in my room tearing up while watching the wedding in Breaking Dawn part 1. Don’t judge lol. Exhaustion makes people more emotional. I’ve always loved the wedding in this movie and ibwas watching Charlie walk Bella down the isle him totally tearing up and i just got that sad I’ll never have that moment. For those that don’t know my dad died almost 8 years ago some days it still hurts like it was yesterday.

Ok enough with the depressing.

Another 7+ hour day working at the tulip farm. It was a beautiful day so the festival was PACKED. Today was the busiest day they have had in the 32ish years they have been doing this.

My trying to take the picture and smile while squinting in the sun and not run into anyone.
As soon as i got home i changed into workout clothes because if i sit down i am not getting back up.

Artemis and i got out and ran 2.5 miles in the beautiful day.

My right foot really hates it when i stand on it for 7+ hours then run over 1.5 miles on it.

Yay!!!!! My peas and corn are starting to sprout!! Not much action from the onions and potatos yet though. Fingers crossed.

Easiest healthy dinner. You saute whatever veggies you have in the fridge then pour some bottled pasta sauce over it.

Add a little basil and cheese and shovel in mouth because you are starving and starting to crash.

Then pass out from exhaustion.

How was your Saturday?
Good night.

Another satisfying Saturday

Well my last alarm didn’t get off this morning so i work up about 45 min later than i wanted but thankfully i still have plenty of time. I ran a trail 10k this morning, which was actually 5.5 miles because some of the trail washed out and was being repaired. I will review the race in another post.

Then i had the house to myself which was so nice.
I watched the last hunger games which i had yet to see

Ate some leftover sweet and sour rice and veggies

I got cuddles from my fav dog

And i made my second blue apron meal this week. Delicious quiche.

First time i have ever shelled peas lol.
I made a few changes to the recipe, i put the shallots in the quiche and some of the pea shoots in as well instead of making the accompanying salad.

I actually had to put them back in for an extra 15ish minutes to cook longer.

And now goodnight.

Dual workout and barkbox

March 17, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Woke up at 3:30 this morning!!!!! Though i laid in bed and played on my phone and cuddled with the dog until 4. Hit the gym and did 20 min the water.

With workout 1 done i changed for workout 2

Spin class.
I knew it was going to be a hard day when i rolled out of bed this morning and was sore all over from training and running yesterday.
Spinning was good

My waterbottle was at that point where it was starting to get gross so i broke down and out it in the dish washer. Bought gatorade at the gym

My new favorite flavor, glacial frost.

The delicious cheese i think i mentioned yesterday.
Today was ice cream sundae day at work

I tried to be good and not go overboard. The first half was delicous then i started feeling horrible but eat these kinds of sweets so infrequently that i forced myself to finish it and felt bloated and gross for like 2 hours. Old habits die hard.

My new vitamins arrived. I track my food in myfitnesspal and one of the things it has shown me is that i never hit my daily calcium goal so i will start taking these a few days a week to combat that a bit.

Barkbox came today!!!!! I love opening these boxes!!!

It is always interesting to see what Artemis is going to like toy wise and what she is going to ignore. Anything Artemis doesn’t want Jasper, my roommates dog, will eventually adopt as his own.

I am feeling a little lonely tonight. I miss having a boyfriend, i miss having my girls around for dinner dates and coffee dates. I am doing a lot better with my breakup and getting back out there but some nights i still get really sad and lonely. Mostly when i disappointed by the state of men and dating today and get depressed that I’ll never find someone.
This too shall pass.

Well thats it on my end.

How was your day?

Hump day!

March 16, 2016 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!.

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

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

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

Had the second half of my leftover salmon for dinner

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

March 13, 2016March 13, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

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

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

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.

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

Sunday it was long run day. 5 miles

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.

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.

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

March 6, 2016 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.

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!!!

I am so excited!

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

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.

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

Do you take any suppliments?

What’s the weather like where you are?

If you have dogs, do they run with you?

TGIF

March 4, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

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.

I thought that was a good quote.

Reached my step goal! Woot Woot!

The tomatoes and peppers are doing awesome!!!!

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

February 20, 2016 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

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

February 1, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Not too much going on this weekend.

Did spin class Saturday morning

Hit target for some travel sized supplies.

Took Artemis to the dog park.

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.

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?

February 1, 2016 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….

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.

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.

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

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.
