My cheap replacement for my morning Starbucks. I get 4 bottles for the price of a grande. Not as strong but it’s something to help the budget now and then.

image

Got this water bottle at the airport and it’s a quart. 2 of these a day and i am set! Yes i refill and reuse plastic water bottles for like a month.

image

I have been drinking more and more tea lately.

Leftover delicious lentil Bolognese for lunch!

Next years calendar for my desk at work!!! I am such a dork i love to go through and write the years stuff on a calendar. Holidays, birthdays, full moons, new moons, paydays, and races. New years eve at work should be really slow so I’ll do it then :mrgreen:

Artemis likes to surprise me every once and a while by eating one of my socks. And she always picks the good ones……

I got in a good workout today so that helped improve my day.

Took the dog for a walk. Did 40 min on the recombent bike and 40 minutes on the treadmill.

How was your Wednesday?

Back to the Grind.

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!

Talk to you tomorrow!!!!!

Time to start upping our water intake.

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Hi everyone!!!!!

Oh my goodness, mom and I start the trail in 3 weeks!!!!!

With that being said it is time to start upping our water intake.

On dry spots on the trail when you get to a water source you’ camel up’. This means that you clean your water then drink as much as possible then clean more to take with you.

Doing this means you stay hydrated longer, you don’t have to dip into your water stash until later in your day.

With that little background now stated we can talk about why mom and I need to start drinking more water before we even start the trail.

Most people are never fully hydrated, we get some water fro, the coffee we drink and soda etc. But still most of us don’t get the full amount of water our bodies need to function at their optimal level.

Something that will help us in the desert is to be fully hydrated when we start.

Today is March 16. This week’s goal will be to drink 1 liter of water every day…..that is not including any coffee or other beverages, just pure water.

image

My camelbak is one liter. That is 32oz or 4 full glasses of water.

For the 2 weeks before the trail the goal will be double that,  so 2 litters of water a day. That will get us to full hydration. …….at least according to science lol.

Care to do it with us? I promise all it can do is help you 🙂

Talk to you soon!
