Tuesday tangents 

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Yay!!! My mom gets to town tomorrow to help us move!!!

We met the landlord tonight and got the keys. We moved over a load of 5 boxes and a TV. Mostly dishes so we can get the kitchen all set up.

I made a delicious teriyaki burgers for dinner

I got my Personal trainer certification study material!!!! So excited to start studying!


I found some family jewelry while unpacking

I don’t think either is worth anything other than sentimental value. 

Poor Artemis had a trying night, bringing the boxes and unpacking them freaked her out a little i think. It will take her time to get used to the new place

Just go with it

I slept in and had a great pre-run breakfast 

Took an hour to digest and then decided I have no desire to run today. 

I was supposed to do 12 miles but, nope, not happening. 

So today became an awesome lazy day. My last lazy day in awhile. 

I also did some meal prep

Chicken Cordon Bleu 

Then to make life easier some steamer veggies

And together it all makes a pretty balanced diet.

Then I toppled off my lazy day with a big cheat meal

I hate that this crap tastes so good. 

Today was a not great day for me but instead of not feeling great about it or beating myself up I’m just going to go with it and start fresh tomorrow.

And kick A** next week. 

Simple Saturday

Yay for the weekend!!!

I have decided to get my personal training certification! I trained my first client today, and by trained I mean coached for free so I can get in some practice while I study.

I was pretty excited.

When I got back in made like a chicken fajita quesadilla thing

It was pretty delicious. 

Then I made some slow cooker dog food

I decided I wanted a warm bathing experience tonight so I boiled some water

And combined it with some cold water for a nice 2 inch high bath that lasted about 10min hahahahaha!

Can’t wait to get to the new place. 

How was your Saturday?

What is the longest you’ve been without hot water?

More than half way done

So stoked!!! We are on the downhill of the week!!!

Everyone at work seemed to be tired today. 

I only drank 1/3 of it. I am careful about my energy drink consumption since they aren’t very good for you.  

This was the protien sample I tried. I think I might order some to interchange with my vega. 

They got a lot of work done next door. Poor people lost everything.  

Trying to do high protien, low carb for a month. Everything has carbs! What the hell!!!!!????

Mushroom chicken and beef and broccoli,  I ate the beef and broccoli on the way home. 

No cookie for me. Oh and what is up with Panda Express’ new fortunes???!! They aren’t even really fortunes, they suck!!!!

My awesome roommate brought me a Starbucks!! I drank a little of it and threw the rest in the freezer for tomorrow. I have started getting soy milk in it to limit my dairy. 

Quick speed workout. I really didn’t want to do anything tonight but I forced myself to do a little something. 

And chugging down some more protien before bed. 

Happy Harvest Day!!!

Today is a great day to try your hand at baking something made from wheat!!

And remember that most of our food comes from the earth, so take a moment and thank the Earth for all the wonderful food it provides for us!!!!

Weekend Wrapup 

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Another one bites the dust and another one gone and another gone, another bites the dust. 

Post run I got to take a quick cold ‘shower’ really it was just a rinse off since even after they ‘fixed’ it, we have no hot water. 

Lunch was the last of my pasta with bolognase sauce

I got to work on my meal prepping. 

My attempt at my yogurt bites

I  cheated on the granola and of course it didn’t turn out well. It tasted good but didnt hold up well. 


Add fruit on top, remember that giant thing of blueberries I got a few weeks ago? I froze most of them

Then into the freezer they went!

They taste like a dessert! It’s wonderful!

I also made a chicken pasta salad

And of course, my sweet baby girl!!!!

Love this photo!!!!

And now chicken is in the slow cooker overnight.  

How was your weekend?

Did you make any good food?

Dinner with the family!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

When my family gets together food is what we congregate around.

Aun, mom, stepdad

Uncle, aunt, grandma 

Deciding what to eat was a difficult decision 

Artichoke and fried onion appetizer

We like beer flights and tasters as well

Copperhead Salmon with mango quinoa salad and heirloom tomatoes……..OH MY GOSH this was sooooo good and tasted so fresh


The table shared two desserts. A brownie and a blackberry cobbler 

We couldn’t wait to taste them so the pics were taken after the desserts had made the rounds hahahahaaha 

Coffee after dinner!!!!!

Gotta love when mom comes to town and gives me shoes that didn’t fit her!!!

Sadly these are a little big but I will get pads to put in them because they are too cute to not keep

Also did some laundry today and prepped one meal for next week. 

Are you good at ordering at restaurants? 

Fun fact , I am GREAT at ordering, I am almost never disappointed with my meals. 

Mostly silent Saturday

Love waking up to here

Got delicious breakfast with my mom and stepdad at Biscuits Cafe

This is how I stop myself from eating anymore when I’m full, otherwise I keep snacking

Watching an old episode of Survivor while I do some work and hang with my puppy. 

Gonna do a short run this afternoon then hang with the family. 

How is your Saturday going?

What is your favorite breakfast?

Mine is a toss up between simple eggs, bacon and toast, and the decadent stuff like pancakes, French toast and waffles. 

Rest day and my mama!!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Work would not end today Then traffic was sucky! Finally I made it home and it’s roasting!!!!

This is our AC hahahaha. 

Mama got to my place not long after me

I love my wonderful mom. 

Then we went on a mom sponsored grocery shopping trip!!!!

You can thank my mom for the delicious food pics that will show up in the next 2 days hahahaha. 

Rewatching the Barkley marathons. 

Watched ‘tracks’ with my mom earlier. 

I’m working on my hydration because I lagged in that area today. 

She’s hard to see in the dark but you can kind of make out her collar to the left lol

Once this is done it’s bedtime. 
Oh man so in sad new update, my triathlon has been cancelled!!!! They were sort of vague about the why, basically just unforseen consequences and things beyond their control. I deferred my race entrance to next year. But I’m still bummed. On the plus side this gives me more time to save and get a good bike. I’ll keep you posted. 

How was your friday?

Time to pick out next week’s meals!!!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Good morning!!!

I trades shifts with a coworker so I can get off early because I have family in town so I got to work before the sun was up

I love getting here early, I feel like I get so much more done. 

On Fridays I pick out my meals for next week so I can prep over the weekend. 

Pintrest is my best friend on Fridays. 

I am going to make the lettuce taco boats again from last week because they were soooooo delicious.  

 Meal #2 will be sweet chili pineapple chicken with veggies over rice. 

Meal #3 will be a Mediterranean pasta salad that I am going to add shredded chicken to. 

Snack #1 will be celery with peanut butter 

#2 will be this!!!

Do you do meal prep??
