Back to the Grind.

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

I so did not want to come home from my weekend away. It was so nice to just sit in limbo. No work, no being dissapointed at how much my boyfriend is working. I just got lost in book after book surrounded by my family. 

I was happy to get back to the gym tonight though. It is the first night i have felt strong since my surgery. Like i might finally be getting back to really working out.

I just want mid-january to come and hopefully things can be good again. Boyfriend’s job should slow down i should be full force working out again by then.

It’s just been a rough 6 weeks and i still have 4 more semi-rough ones to go if I stick with it.

On the plus side i drank 8 whole glasses of water today!!! It’s been awhile since that happened.

Also my trainer and i set the difficult but attainable goal of me losing 5lbs my the end of the year. Thats is 22 days!

Blue Apron week 4 meal 1: tortilla soup

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Happy Sunday!!!!

Oh man! This meal was delicious!!!!!

image

image

I enjoyed a little coffee while drinking it

image

My theraflu tea was putting me to sleep.

image

I love that it had me toast my own tortilla chips, it was super easy but took the meal to the next level.

image

image

I added a can of kidney beans to it for a little more protien and body.

image

I also added more cheese lol.

Once again i got about 4 meals out of this instead of 2, which makes me happy happy happy!!!

And in my box i ended up with an extra avocado and an extra bag of cilantro which worked out perfectly since i had extra soup.

Still drinking lots of tea and using essential oils to try and kick this cold. 

What did you cook this weekend?

Blue Apron week 3 meal 3

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Wednesday!!!!! We are halfway through the week. Celebrate!!!!

Last night i went over to my friend’s for dinner and girl talk. Ate pizza and drank soda and felt sooooo bloated afterwards. I always overeat when it comes to pizza, i just love it sooo much!!!!

When i got home i did 40 minutes of spanish lessons. El tiene gato. El gato es blanco. Lol

Then i made my last blue apron meal from last wednesday to take for lunch. It made 3 servings. LOVE when i get extra servings.

image

image

My photos are a little shotty from last night lol.

image

I have a set of 10 glass nesting bowls that all stack in each other and are sooo nice, but there is no room in the kitchen that i share with my roommates. Nor do i want to risk them getting broken so i use tupperware. Also there is NO counter space.

I cannot wait to have a house a an amazing kitchen!!!! Sadly that is probably a ways away. Well enjoy the rest of your wednesday!

What are you cooking up?

Blue Apron week 3 meal 2

I had never made anything tempura before. I’ve eaten and love tempura but have never made it.

And i was definitely skeptical about acorn squash tacos.

image

image

Yea, our counters are a little messy.

image

The prep work wasn’t too bad except for the squash which was a pain. Also i had way more onion and way more squash than i needed.

image

While cooking i enjoyed some pink lemonade emergen-c cause i have been feeling a little funky.

image

image

I’ve also never really fried anything so that was interesting. It was a lot easier than i thought. I may have to try some fried chicken soon.

image

The finished product……and the consensus is that these tacos are actually pretty freaking amazing!!!!

image

The other meditation cd i got. I want to do a meditation to find my spirit animal.

image

Also apperently this is how my name is spelled, except that on the drinks for roommates they girl put AR……hmmmm.

How was your weekend?

What was the best thing you did?
