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.

Wow when did 9:30 on a Friday night become late to me? Hahahaha! I don’t know whether to be ashamed or proud.

image

Today’s hydration; water, tea and coffee.

First lunch was leftover pot roast i found in the freezer that i had made a few months ago over some rice. Second lunch was yakisoba!!! Apperently I’m a bit obssessed.

image

Reading material before bed

image

And now its bedtime!!! Spin class in the AM and i have convinced my roommate to go with me……bwahahaahaah!!!!!  (evil laughter)

Do you drag people to your workouts?

What is your go to treat meal lately?

Any fun weekend plans?

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.

Happy Monday!!!!!

Tuesday- weight training session with trainer

Wednesday- swim session with trainer

Thursday- spin class

Friday- OFF

Saturday- 5k and dog park

Sunday- yoga and intervals: run 1 min walk 2 min x 10

Sadly i am going to have to suspend my training (with my trainer) for a month or two once this set of sessions is over because it has put a serious dent in my credit card.  I love it and i love her but i just can’t afford it right now.

Happy Thursday!!

Today was a pretty good day overall. I got up and made it to spin class today whichwas awesome and totally killed me.

image

image

Started off really well this morning!!

image

I start half marathon training next week!!! I need to do a post about all my planned races.

image

When i dont walk for an hour a red bar appears and my garmin buzzes at me.

image

Dinner was homemade pizza!!! Though i ate 1 more slice than i should have lol.

image

Yay i hit my goal!!!!

And i figured out the calories. That is how many calories i have burned all day, including just living, breathing, and body function. 

Ok sleep time for me!

Have you ever made homemade pizza?

Do you sleep in silence, with music, with TV or what?
I do tv with the light dimmed or music.

Tuesday Tangents

Howdy!!!!

How is your week going? Mine has been a whirlwind!

Yesterday my ex lost his dog that he has had for 10 years. I kept him company and tried to cheer him up and be there for him. Irregardless i care about him and don’t want him to he in pain.

In other stuff

image

Yea i am watching this season…..at least so far.

image

image

I found both these books on Amazon for a PENNY!!!! Even with shipping they were only $4/each.

image

I ordered the Garmin vivoactive!!! It should arrive tomorrow. Huge shoutout to my aunt who helped me pay for half of it as a late Christmas/early birthday gift. THANK YOU!!!!!!

image

Pasta is a cheap staple for me lately.

And with that it is sleep time for me. I only got 4 hours of sleep last night. Yes i somehow still got my butt up and went to the gym at 5am this morning. And have a 5am swim appt tomorrow.

Good night!!!!!

Monday- run 3 miles

Now Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday aren’t locked into a plan yet. I do know 1 day i will have a strength training session, 1 day i will have a training session in the pool and if my trainer and i can work i schedule out i will hopefully have either Tuesday or Thursday morning free so i can go to a spin class before work.

I need to make up for the lack of weekend workouts.

Friday- OFF

Saturday- spin class amd run around the dog park with Artemis.

Sunday-Yoga and run 3 miles.

How about you????

TGIF/Farming Fridays

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Finally Friday!!!! I’m free again, got my motor runnin for a wild weekend. (from a song)

This week has just dragged and dragged. I feel like i have had no energy and no desire to work. I have felt thoroughly unproductive.

image

Thursday morning i was up at that time in the morning. Got my swim workout done which was nice but man is that early.

I did Pretty good with my food today which made me happy. I had 1 snickernoodle cookie but i threw away 7-8 cookies.

image

Yay me!!! I bought cookie dough from someone at work who’s grandkids were doing some fundraiser. Now i am trying to get rid of them without killing my waistline. I hate to throw food away but yea.

So the farming Friday part! I am going to grow some of my own food this year, yep even in a duplex with 2 other girls.

I am going to put 2-3 pots on my deck and hope it holds along with trying to find a few places around our yard that i can container plant.  So far i have 2 different kinds of heirloom tomato seeds, heirloom sweet pepper seeds, organic sugar snap pea seeds and container corn seeds, thats right this  corn was designed to be planted in a container! How awesome is that!!!!

More to come soon!

How has your week been?

Wednesday Wonderings

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Happy Wednesday!!!

Work yesterday dragged allllll day! It sucked!!!

image

I made myself a delicious beans, rice and cheese burriot with lettuce.

image

Water and coffee. The staples of my life.

image

My trainer kicked my butt last night!!!! I knocked out hard last night. Great nights sleep.

My food choices were mostly good lol. I ate a bag of chili cheese Fritos which didn’t sit well mid workout but thankfully i kept my cookies down….or my Fritos lol.
