Happy 4th of July!!!! 

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

I had a mostly low key day, I had a training session at 6am then came home and just relaxed all day. 

The puppies and I enjoyed being lazy

I found this Hawaiian punch mix I had bought for the trail and it helped satisfy my sweet craving today! Score!!

The rest of the night was spent watching movies and holding my poor baby when really loud fireworks went off. But now I have 2 fans on in my room and Girl more girls playing and the fireworks are finally starting to slow down…….it’s almost midnight and now she’s calming down and it’s sleep time

 I had planned in going to spin class and then a quick swim before work but that is sooooo not happening now so I guess I’ll go after work instead. 

First long run of marathon training

Happy Sunday!!

Went out for a 6.5 mile run today

Pretty wildflowers out

This was not an easy run for me. Pretty much every step was a battle. This was my first long run since my half marathon 2 weeks ago.

Apparently there was a little car show going on. 

Post run recovery smootie. Putting all those blueberries to good use. 

Iced my thighs and feet, I have AM training tomorrow and want to minimize how sore I am. 

Volunteering and budget shopping

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Happy 4th of July weekend!!!

Last night my roommate and I went to the movies and I didn’t get to bed until about 12:30am and was up at 5:20am to go volunteer at the cook park marathon.  

Also I was bad and had McDonald’s this week

It was a small race so that was nice. And it was several loops so there was only 1 aid station that qthe runners hit several times

I was not excited about being awake early

This afternoon I did some correspondence 

Water is a big theme for me lately, trying to hydrate more and more

A short midday nap

And a shopping trip on a budget

Fish and chips, sandwiches, chicken and rice and oatmeal not too shabby for $28.

Hello fresh

Happy Wednesday!!!!!

I got a Hello Fresh box for the first time…….and last time because once I move to my new apt my current bills will exceed my current income, so I have to cut back on my fun stuff and start living cheap for awhile.

But until that point l, let’s get cooking!!!!!

image

I like that they put the ingredients in each meals little box.

image

image

image

I boiled sweet potatoes

image

And roasted some broccolirabb  (I can’t spell)

image

Seared the chicken

image

After that I cooked shallots and made a gravy

image

image

image

Mashed the potatoes

image

And put it all together for a delicious meal!!!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!!!

Good morning!!!!
Yesterday was Monday Motivation but let’s tell you how the day went.

Good start to the day, I had my vega protein and greens shake and added bolthouse farms smoothie stuff too it so it was like chocolate cherry. 2nd breakfast was honey bunches of oats and almond milk.

I was still pretty good. I had a salad and left over Mac and cheese for lunch

But then the sugar craving hit

image

I can’t wait until I have my own place and my own clean kitchen so I can make some healthy treats. I am a sugar fiend and don’t anticipate that changing.

Came home and got it a quick run

image

Yay for bright colors so I don’t get run over!
Started the first sookie Stackhouse book (aka trueblood) it was on sale on Audible.

image

image

image

I was too hungry to wait for dinner so I ate in courses as it was ready hahahahahaha

image

Salad.
Gordens beer battered fish fillets bit I was too excited to take a picture before I ate

image

And yay!!!! It’s corn time again!

image

image

She is so freaking cute I can’t stand it!!!!

My heart feels like it is going to burst sometimes when I see her. I love this little girl more than words can say. I am so thankful to have her.

And on that mushy note, have a great day!!!!

Saturday stuff

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

I didn’t set an alarm this morning and did it was wonderful. I love sleeping in. Of course now sleeping in for me is 8am so yea.

Roommate and I took the dogs to the dog park, then off we headed to the gym

image

image

image

I also did the stair master for 7 min. That sh*t is tough!!!

After that my day was spent just relaxing and spending time with my dog since I’ve been out late the last 2 nights.

I made a yummy lunch (with lots of leftovers, happy face)

image

And treated myself to a Starbucks

image

My last one as I am going to try to cut out all refined sugar.  One day at a time Ariana, heck one meal at a time for me.

Then Stitchfix showed up! The only bad thing is it showed up early and I am broke until payday next Friday. Thankfully most of it is not flattering this box around. The only thing I wish I could have kept is the dress.

image

Skirt. It has pockets which is awesome and is semi pleated but doesn’t rock my world

image

A close up of the top, so unflattering

image

Another top,  again it just doesn’t sit well on my body. Like at all.

image

image

The dress. I actually like it and it’s not something I would normally wear so I would have loved to push myself outside my comfort zone but oh well, maybe next time. So I kept nothing and will send it all back next week.
Oh and there was a jacket I forgot to take a picture of but it was too big.

image

Mmmmm breakfast for dinner.

image

Just started reading this. So far I like it.

How was your Saturday?

How much does it suck to live paycheck to paycheck?
A lot!!!
What are you reading right now?

What is the last piece of clothing you bought?

TGIF

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Oh today.  Work was fine but apartment hunting drama ensued today. Am apartment I had applied for slipped through my fingers today due to, what I am guessing will turn out to be a clerical error on another management companies watch, caused me to lose the appointment.

image

These were nessesary today

image

Mixed some coffee in with my protein powder today.

image

Shared some of a coworkers energy drink.

image

Chocolate was also nessesary. 

However this is supposed to work out it will.
I will of course keep you posted.

Home from my trip and the week’s recap

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Back to work today!!!

The end my trip was nice, we tried to go to the gym and swim Morning but the pool was closed because the office was closed, don’t ask me to explain it cause i can’t lol.

Then we went to the beach for lunch, which sadly was dissapointing, especially considering the prices, oy.

But the dogs had a blast at the beach!
