Happy Tuesday!!!!!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Good morning!!!!
Yesterday was Monday Motivation but let’s tell you how the day went.

Good start to the day, I had my vega protein and greens shake and added bolthouse farms smoothie stuff too it so it was like chocolate cherry. 2nd breakfast was honey bunches of oats and almond milk.

I was still pretty good. I had a salad and left over Mac and cheese for lunch

But then the sugar craving hit

image

I can’t wait until I have my own place and my own clean kitchen so I can make some healthy treats. I am a sugar fiend and don’t anticipate that changing.

Came home and got it a quick run

image

Yay for bright colors so I don’t get run over!
Started the first sookie Stackhouse book (aka trueblood) it was on sale on Audible.

image

I was too hungry to wait for dinner so I ate in courses as it was ready hahahahahaha

image

Salad.
Gordens beer battered fish fillets bit I was too excited to take a picture before I ate

image

And yay!!!! It’s corn time again!

image

image

She is so freaking cute I can’t stand it!!!!

My heart feels like it is going to burst sometimes when I see her. I love this little girl more than words can say. I am so thankful to have her.

And on that mushy note, have a great day!!!!

This picture really hits home for me right now. I’ve been taking more days off than normal lately. I’m feeling a bit burned out. I think after my half marathon this weekend I might take a full week off then really buckle back down.
After that it’s the triathlon in September and the marathon in October then I’m taking at least 2-3 weeks off.

So that being said, here’s the plan for the week

Monday- ran 2.15 miles

Tuesday- OFF

Wednesday- Swim 800m

Thursday- spin class

Friday- walk 1 mile

Saturday – Rock and Roll half marathon!!!!

Sunday- OFF

Monday-OFF traveling

Tueaday- AM training

Wednesday- 30 min spin after work, a little core work before bed

Thursday-AM swim training, PM 1 miles run

Friday- Run 3 miles before work

Happy Global Running Day!!!!

Home from my trip and the week’s recap

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Back to work today!!!

The end my trip was nice, we tried to go to the gym and swim Morning but the pool was closed because the office was closed, don’t ask me to explain it cause i can’t lol.

Then we went to the beach for lunch, which sadly was dissapointing, especially considering the prices, oy.

But the dogs had a blast at the beach!

Wednesday Wonderings

Happy Hump Day!!!!

image

A little midweek motivation

image

image

My day started out with a swim workout

image

Then I cancelled it out with this sugary but delicious crap. Thank goodness it’s not always available in the vending machine. 

image

I’ve been working on training schedules. Thankfully I have learned that while I work best with a schedule I also have to allow for the flexibility that is necessary in life.

image

The day ended with Trivia!!! And roommate discussion about what is to come. Now I’m tired and am hitting the hay.

How was your day?

Do you schedule workouts or just go with what feels good?

If you schedule do you stick to it religiously or change it up?

Rest day Sunday!!!!

I turned off all alarms today and slept it. It was wonderful.

After getting up, I had a protein shake and relaxed. Make eggs for lunch

image

Did half on toast and half in a breakfast burrito.

I pulled out my yoga video

image

I did back bends and hip opensers to stretch out after the run.

I spent most of the day on the couch then Artemis and I went to the dog park for a short run around then to the store.

image

Got a little treat for myself but oh man am I bloated now. Note to self, too many simple carbs.
I think she is a little tuckered out from the park

image

I’ll be calling it an early night tonight.
6am training tomorrow morning!!

How was your weekend?

Half Marathon!!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Ran a half marathon today

image

Most important pre-race step.
The day started off with rain

image

But thankfully it stopped later

image

Half way point!!!

After I crossed the finish line my ‘medal’ was a tiara.

image

After the race I hobbled home and had a little ice bath

image

Then met my aunt and uncle for a delicious lunch!

image

Happily I had leftovers for a late night snack.

I review the race later.

How was your Saturday?

Thursday thoughts

Woke up and hit the gym this morning.

image

Went for a little swim and forgot how to take a decent picture lol

Went to work and had a good day, 2 people were out sick though.

We had rain today which means I get to drive my waterfalls on the way home

image

It wasn’t raining when I left work though so I thought Artemis and I would go for a little run when I got home, then 2 exits away from home this happens

image

It starts pouring. Well a mile in the treadmill it is!!!!

image

I had salad and Gordens beer battered fish fillets for dinner.

Today was cake and ice cream day at work, they got this like 7-8layer fugde choclate cake from Costco.  I had a slice with vanilla ice cream, the first half was heaven, then I started feeling sick and by the end i wanted to puke, it was sooooo rich. Why can’t I ever just say no and throw half away? I need to work on that.

Well off to bed! Light spin and swim in the AM.

How was your day?

Can you throw the second half of a treat away if it is too rich?
