Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!!!

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?

A late morning

Good morning! Happy Hump day!!!

Artemis woke me up at 3am by jumping on me, she needed to go outside. I am glad she woke me up because she got sick outside. I should say 3am wakeup calls are a non-occurance for her. 

We came back in and went back to sleep. This morning I am going into work late to make sure she is ok. 

My poor little girl. She had a trying 24 hours. I gave her a bath last night  (which she doesn’t enjoy but like a good girl she stands still)

We are watching Gilmore Girls

One of the best shows ever.

We are doing lots of cuddling

I made myself a basic breakfast, oatmeal


And put a small cup of food in Artemis’ bowl, now we will make sure she doesn’t get sick then it’s off to work for me!

I was supposed to run 2-3 miles this morning but that will be moved to after work, hopefully it won’t be too warm, I need to check the weather forecast.  

How was your morning?

Happy Tuesday!!!!

Today started off good, i hit the gym and had a training session with my trainer. It was hard but didnt kill me, we backed off a bit so that i wouldn’t be soooo sore that i couldnt do anything else hahaha.

Then off to work i went!

So i have a designated bowl at work that i use just for oatmeal that i keep stocked in my drawer, AKA second breakfast.

 

I would say this happens at least 2-3 days a week. I make the oatmeal then fill the bowl with water and let it sit until just before i leave then i wipe it out for tomorrow

Oatmeal turns into cemente if you dont soak the dish or clean it right away.

I have been being good so far this week and bringing fruit for snacks, like this delicious nectarine

I knew I was going to workout twice today and didn’t bring enough food so on my lunch I hit taco bell for some crunchy tacos fresco style 

Later came my delicious 2nd lunch

My slow cooker apricot chicken and rice

After work I headed to the gym for a 30min spin

This is the look on my face when I am tired and forgot a 2nd shirt for my second workout so I put in the stinky still damp shirt from this mornings workout 

Then I headed home quick to see the puppies.

This is what I come home to most days

Release the kraken!!!!!

Click on the word kraken so see the video. 

She was very excited about dinner, she got leftover apricot chicken juice in her kibble. 

Did you enjoy your dinner as much as she did?

I did I had more kielbasa sausage 

Good Morning!!

Last night was good. I feel like I accomplished a lot. After work I headed to the gym to swim

Sorry crappy photo

My meal prepped paid off. I came home and showered to get the chlorine out of my hair and skin then just popped a plate in the microwave and BAM! Yummy dinner

And it’s so simple to make.

Start anywhere between 1-4 cups of rice depending on how much you need. 2 cups got me 4 meals. 

In a saute pan or Dutch oven or anything that is big enough really heat up some olive oil on medium heat. I always add extra olive oil to make a ‘sauce ‘ chop up and onion and throw it in the pan. 

Chop up 2 bell pepper and throw them in with the onions.

Chop up a package of Polish kielbasa sausage and throw that in. 

Add some pepper and garlic powder. 

Cook until meat is heated up and the veggies are cooked to your desired doneness and serve over rice. 

I emptied the dishwasher and started a load of laundry. 

Cuddled with my puppy while watching some of the reginals for the crossfit games

I love this little girl so much

Before bed I threw my laundry in the dryer and prepped my clothes for Tuesday AM (I am writing this Monday night)

Here is to a great morning!!!!!

Sunday Funday

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Got up around 7:30 this morning and relaxed. I made a bagel for breakfast 

Got started on my hydration 

And watched a documentary on Netflix about the 2015 crossfit games

While cuddling with my dog

Then it was time to get up and run.

1/3 of the way through 

Artemis made it 4.3 miles, slowly but surely we are adding to her stamina. I need to get her one of those little dog packs so she can carry a little dish and water for her. 

2/3rds of the way through

And done!

Post workout I craved noodles and sodium 

Top ramen to the rescue!!!!

Then I finally got up and meal prepped my last meal. Yay for ready food during the week!

How was your weekend?

Did you get in a workout?

Hola!!!

Happy Hump day!!!!

Whew it’s been a busy 24 hours! So after sleeping in on Tuesday I ran after work. 

I love new shoes!!! And they were less than  $30 on Amazon!!!!

This morning I got up at the cracks of dawn and met my trainer at the gym and worked out 

Next it was workout shake time

Then I felt like being cute today

Feeling a train like a beast, look like a beauty kind of feeling. 

Tonight after work I went for a quick swim

When I got home Artemis was a little too happy to see me

Currently I am writing this post with you legs up the wall, we’ll door, to reduce the lactic acid in my legs and stretch my back out

Yep that sunburn turned tan line is still there looking like thigh high stocking hahahaha.
Night night!!!!

Happy Monday!!!!!!
Today was my first day back after my week off. Oy. It wasn’t bad per say but it could have been much better…….of much worse.

I had 5 minutes left to sleep, not a lot in the grand scheme but still 5min. And the dogs, mine and my roommates who I am watching, decided to be load and make noise and wake me up. So I laid back down and gave myself 10 more minutes and ended up getting out the door 15 minutes late so my 3 mile run became a 1.5 mile run.

image

And somebody here knows the difference between a walk and a run, granted its been like 2 weeks since her bad human, aka me, took her for either so yea but she took a good 10min to figure out that we were running.

image

The human wasn’t too happy but at least I got out and did something!!!!!

Well see how tomorrow goes!!!

Do you run with a dog?
Do they ever not want to run?

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

image

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!!!
