Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!!!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Happy Thursday night.

I am starting to plan next week’s meals and was looking at snacks and this totally jumped out at me on pintrest 

This is totally happening. 

Once again I didn’t have enough snacks (something I really need to think about for next week)

So I got taco bell tacos

On the plus side it was ice cream day and I abstained. And yes I also ate the apple. 

After work I met my roommate at home and off to the gym we went! 

Spun for 30 min

After I finished cycling I went upstairs to the den of cardiovascular to find my roommate, she was still on the step machine so I figured, if you can’t drag them out of there, join them, so 6 minutes of stepping I did. My calves were on fire!!!!

I had a diet coke today and it was yummy. I rarely drink soda so I really savor it when I do

Do you drink soda?

What is your favorite fast food place?

Mine is Del Taco, thankfully the are only 2 in Oregon and neither are super close by. 

Morning commute

Happy Thursday!!!! I am currently sitting in my car in my parking spot at work rocking out to Darrius Rucker (spelling?) Wagon Wheel before work starts. Just come from strength training at the gym.

Had a great sunrise this morning 

Slowly drinking down my protien shake

Once I finish this is will be 3 scoops in with protien and greens this morning.  

Somehow I always end up with protien powder on my lunch box

Trying to be a little cute today

In all honesty a dress is the easiest clothing choice because it is just one peice instead of a bottom and top and possible 2 part top like tank and overshirt. 

8:16am and I’m almost at 2000 steps, not too shabby. 

How was your morning?

Wednesday wonderings

More than half way through!!!!!! And tomorrow we are having strawberry shortcake at work which I am super stoked for.

My calendar had this wisdom today

Then I went and ate pizza for lunch, the second time in less than 7 days so I wrote myself a little reminder

image

To much pizza does not make me feel good.
After work I hit the gym for a swim……it had been at least 3 weeks since I swam! I struggled for every meter,  really need to build that stamina back up

I was slow as rocks in a a stream. But I got out there and did it and that is all that matters.

Now it’s bed time

Goodnight!!!

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!

Today- i am taking the day off to rest my legs a bit more. My feet are doing better but my calf muscle still feels a bit sore like i over stretched it when i twisted my ankle running on Sunday.

Tuesday-AM strength, hopfully as long as my leg is still feeling ok tonight

Wednesday-AM swim training

Thursday-Off, since i am now doing trivia Wednesday nights i don’t get home early enough to make 5:30am spin class without missing too much sleep

Friday-Spin and Swim

Saturday- run 9-9.5 miles

Sunday-Off

 

it is a lesser week for me workout wise but sometimes we just need some rest.

Ugh my stupid phone

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Well this was supposed to upload and post last night but my phone is on the verge of dying so i get to spend my lunch at Costco seeing what they can do for me for a phone plan and hopefully get a new one soon.

Yesterday was a good day i pickedup a pineapple at the store a few days ago and cut it up, so happy we are getting to fresh cheap fruit season!!! I am starting to have good delicious snacks.

I met my trainer at the gym for a swim workout.

It was beautiful at lunch so i went out for a little walk before the rains hit at night. When i got back i put my legs up to try and drain some of the lactic acid that has built up

I needed a quick dinner so i drove through subway. Then i ran out the door to my first trivia night from Meetup.com!

It was super fun!!!! I will definetly be going back.

Yep thats a little bit of my Stitchfix dress you see.

I also got some blueberries to add to my oatmeal :mrgreen:

The tulip festival was good day, busy but not crazy.

I came home and read a chapter of my book club book the watched a Netflix documentary on the barkely marathon. The first rule of the barkley marathon is you don’t talk about the barkley marathon…..oops i broke rule #1. This race is INSANE!!! In the i think 30 something years it has been run only 15 people have ever finished it………I WANT TO DO IT!!!!!! But not for a long time lol i have to learn how to navigate a trail map and all that cause there are NO ROUTE MARKERS and its in the Tennessee wilderness.

Card dinner

And now its sleep time for my race tomorrow. Goodnight.

Google the Barkley marathon and let me know if you want to try it with me :mrgreen:
