A rough start to September

by Ariana Peters, posted in healthy lifestyle

Good Morning!!! I had several thoughts for a fun post yesterday about the start of September but i went home sick again and crawled straight into bed. The pup and I cuddled and i went to sleep. I got some McDonalds in my system and kept it down so that is good. Going home was good for me, I rested and slept and now i feel like i am on the other side of the sickness, we are heading back uphill!

I ordered this on Amazon to help clean me out and reset my colon health. I am also going to start taking a probiotic to get some good flora back in my gut.

When the fall starts to show and back to school happens I always think of the movie “You’ve Got Mail”.

I will be watching that movie again soon. I tend to watch it several times a year 🙂

What is your favorite back to school/fall movie?

What are your Labor Day weekend plans?

I’ve never been so excited for meal prep

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

We have PANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can eat real food again!!!

I am very excited about meal prep today. We ordered new pans from amazon and donated our old ones to good will and between packing and upacking and a mess the roommate and i have been eating crap for about 2-3 weeks and it has taken its toll. I am super stoked that i get to make real food again this weekend for next week.

I usually hit up pintrest for my meal prep or at least inspiration

This is what is on the menu this week:

Stuffed Pepper Philly cheesesteak

Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

and chicken kabobs which i haven’t decided yet what all is going to be on them so stayed tuned to find out!

 

Do you meal prep? If so, whats for lunch and dinner next week?

How are your workouts going this week?

I ran Tuesday and Wednesday morning, this morning i slept in so i will be dragging my butt to the gym tonight to do some weights. My goal is to get in, do some weights and get out. I want to be quick and efficient. I need to get some leg workouts in and some arm workouts. I am not too worried about my abs because that tones as i run and do all the other stuff.

I miss weighted squats!!! Who would have thought?! Moving has thrown my whole schedule off so i am trying to get a new schedule set. Also i am dating someone so that is taking up some time. Got to balance the life!

Also i really need to find my book to study so i can start working on my personal training certification. Unpacking will be a serious theme this weekend.

Now send me some strong will to only have 1 scoop of the ice cream that will be served and work today.

Excuses, Excuses

by Ariana Peters, posted in training

Excuses, Excuses is right! All i have had lately are exucses.

I have not worked out since THURSDAY!!! That is 4 days! Thankfully i am meeting a client tonight to do some cardio with so i can snap myself out of this funk. I need get my butt back into gear.

This is why you are never supposed to go more than 2 days in a row without working out, you fall into a no workout funk…….or maybe that is just me.

My excuses have been that my dog wants to cuddle (which is amazing, puppy cuddles are the best), that i just plain dont want to get out an run today, that i trained someone (thats counts as a workout right?) Etc, Etc.

I am going to use you guys to keep me honest for the next week, if you dont see a workout on this blog feel free to CALL ME OUT!

Bulk box!!!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Another fun sample box has arrived!!!

Super stoked to try this for Sunday’s long run

Information on everything in the box

Snacks!!!!!!

Gotta a love bug protection with all this Zika virus stuff going on (though I take a garlic oil pills every night which means I pretty much never get bit)

More gummy vitamins! I love gummy vitamins, it’s like candy that is good for me.

The name just makes me think of the walking dead TV show hahahahaha!!!

I’m not too sure about the sage flavor

Something about a non-refrigerated smoothie freaks me out a little. 

Mid-Week Motivation!!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

We are almost at Friday! Hold on and we can do it!!

Motivation has been short for me lately so i have had to push myself and bargin and make deals with myself to get me to workout. Which is really funny that i have come to a place in my life where cutting my long run short on Sunday, not working out on Monday, only working out once Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and having no plans to workout Friday is a bad week for me. I’m actually kind of proud of that.

I have definitely changed my lifestyle for this.

 

Have you?

 

August mile a day challenge

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Hi friends!!!  I am going to try a little challenge on the blog!! I hope you will join in.

It is going to be very simple, travel a mile a day on your own energy.

You can:

Stanford professor Michel Serres hikes the Dish on a regular basis.

walk, bike, swim, run, row and anything else you can think of that can take you the distance. For anything water based there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. As for steps in a mile i found this on beach body blog:

a6bfa7a830a45cf5493015a3c48d55b9

it is also totally ok to combine several of these to make a mile, you could swim 800M and walk half a mile or swim 400m, walk half a mile and row 400m, you chose each day how you want to do this.

However you do it just get that mile in.

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??


Podcasts are back in my life

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Howdy!!! Hope everyone is well. 

I overslept today and did not get a run in before work and also didn’t have time to get my swimsuit out of the dryer so today turned into a rest day. Normally I would just switch my workouts to Friday which was my planned rest day but I switched schedules with someone so I could get off early since I have family in town so that means I have to be at work at 6am. That would mean I’d have to be at the gym by about 4am to workout…….not happening.  

I came squeeze in a swim after my spin on Saturday morning but I will just have to miss that run. Which is a bad mom move because that means Artemis missed the excersice too. 

On another note I took a crazy amount of vitamins today. In my sample box they had a daily dose of vitamins so I tried it today

Yea that is a 1 DAY dose! It took me 2 shallows to get this all down. And I had to mix it with Gatorade because they were a little flavorful 

That is a lot of stuff to take at once. 

So podcasts…..I stopped listening to them for awhile but started again yesterday. I have like 8 episodes of ‘criminal’ to catch up on and have started listening to ‘here be monsters’. It really breaks up the monotony of a desk job. 

Do you listen to podcasts? 

Which ones?

If not I recommend ‘Serial’ I was obsessed with that and cannot wait to see what season 3 has in store. 

Well off to bed for 6am training!!!

My sweet girl and my laundry to put away hahahaha!!
