Marmot pass Day 2

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Even though I didn’t sleep very well I woke up to the cutest face ever!

I can’t get over how flipping adorable she is!

After the freezing night we woke up to frost on the ground

Artemis in her little sweater

We had a great view!

After some breakfast we packed up and were on our way!

We were tired so we rocketed back to the car. Plus going down is faster than going up so it took us about 1/2-2/3 the amount of time to get back to the car. 

On the way back Artemis got bit on the butt by a bug, poor thing, I gave her 1/2 a benadryl and that took care of any swelling and she is fine now. I got stung by a yellow jacket, my first sting in probably 20 years, good thing I’m not allergic!

I’ve never been so happy to be back in my car lol. The dogs passed out pretty fast. We stopped for McDonald’s and Starbucks and made the 5 hour trip back home. 

Monday was a lot of relaxing, we all dogs included, spent most of it on the couch but I managed to get some laundry done and a bit of unpacking and some grocery shopping done. 

How was your weekend?

Do you like the uphill or downhill better on a hike?

I hit up REI with my friend and saw a rainbow 

Picked up a new hydration bladder since mine from the PCT got a little funky. Thank you mom and stepdad for your REI dividends!! My bought my new bladder!

Packing can get a little messy

A little lunchable snack before bed

A little Veronica Mars to find down

Laid out my clothes for tomorrow.  Always good to be prepared and ready to go

All packed and ready to go

See you in the AM!!

Today was a little more low key than yesterday.

Artemis and I relaxed in bed and read until about 10am. 

Then the roommate and I had a little bonding putting together some of our IKEA purchases

Stools for our kitchen table

Then our butcher block temising

We also had Artemis’ first vet visit!

She is doing good. We will go back in about 3 weeks to get her shots done. 

The roommate and I also had a star trek marathon including going to see the new one in theatres. 

How was your weekend?

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?

I kept my entire Stitchfix box!! I loved it all and so did my roommate. We’ll be sharing some of the clothes hahahahaha!!

Do you want to try Stitchfix? Click here.

This morning Artemis and I went for a little run

I took us down by the river again, this time because it was warm, thankfully not as hot as the last 3 days but still warm so I took us down to the water to cool off a bit. I fell on the way down, graceful as ever lol. This is me resting afterwards 

A blackberry bushes attacked me on my way down

I’ll pull through though. 

By the time we got home it was a little warm

Update on the dryer, i got the lines wioed down so we are now successfully back to the 1800s

Sometimes it takes forever 2 dry!!! I got 1 load washed and dried as did you roommate. We will have to conserve clothes to make this work until we get a replacement dryer all worked out. 

A few more boxes got unpacked and some dishes done and put away. Slowly but surely we are settling in. 

How was your weekend?

No long run this week either

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Next week, no matter what I HAVE to go for a long run. Even if it’s hot and I have to do a few miles in the morning then do the rest at the gym or something. 

 I have given myself 1 hour this morning to have some breakfast and relax then I have to get out and get at least 4 miles done and I can maybe add a few tonight. 

It’s difficult because I feel like I have so much to do, but I need to run to A) stay sane and B) you know train for that little marathon I have coming up lol

Once top of needing to unpack our new place has no dishwasher so I am trying to slowly make it through all the dishes and Tupperware that I’ve had sitting in boxes so I can get them cleaned and put away…..OH MY God dishes take soooo to dry. And our new washer and dryer…..well the washer works, the dryer stopped during the first load and won’t start again. Gotta figure that out but that means no laundry. 

We do have a line in the backyard 


But apparently you are supposed to wipe it down before you use it…..this is going to be interesting.  

On a happier note I got my Stitchfix and LOVE it! So does my roommate lol. She is going to buy the box with me 

Shirt dress

Cardigan, love the pockets

Cute take top that I can wear with jeans or this awesome skirt….

And this bangle

Sorry for the ranting I’m just in a mood. And since the kitchen isn’t unpacked I’ve been eating crap fast food and way too much of it which I know does not help my patience and happiness. 

She passes out during the heat and refuses to help. 

Happy Saturday!!!

I slept in this morning and was sooooo happy about it. I three some dog food in the slow cooker 

It had pork, apple, yam

Fresh green beans

And then I picked up some frozen bag so I could rip and dump


This will be my 2nd time making slow cooker dog food. So far Artemis LOVED it. I do 3/4 the slow cooker dog food and 1/4 her kibble stuff. It is much more cost effective for me which is awesome and it’s healthy for her and she loves it. So I see a win win!!!

Then I met my friend and got my nails done

A fun POP color. And I got my hair deep conditioned. It needed it. My hair feels a lot better. Now it’s time to do some unpacking!!! While watching old episodes of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders making the team lol.

Another one bites the dust and another one gone and another gone, another bites the dust. 

Post run I got to take a quick cold ‘shower’ really it was just a rinse off since even after they ‘fixed’ it, we have no hot water. 

Lunch was the last of my pasta with bolognase sauce

I got to work on my meal prepping. 

My attempt at my yogurt bites

I  cheated on the granola and of course it didn’t turn out well. It tasted good but didnt hold up well. 


Add fruit on top, remember that giant thing of blueberries I got a few weeks ago? I froze most of them

Then into the freezer they went!

They taste like a dessert! It’s wonderful!

I also made a chicken pasta salad

And of course, my sweet baby girl!!!!

Love this photo!!!!

And now chicken is in the slow cooker overnight.  

How was your weekend?

Did you make any good food?

Sunday morning run

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Good morning!!!!

I got some cuddles while I ate my bagel and watched TV. 

Then we got up and got ready to run

The goal was 11 miles

But this is how far we made it

Since I have family in town I was trying to coordinate when my mom would come over and how far I could run before then.

That is how far I got. I planned on maybe going back out and seeing if mom would walk with me but I made a rookie mistake 

Noooooooo!!!!!!

Then mom didn’t want to go out so I jumped on the treadmill to get in a few more miles and ended up with killer cramps. Anytime I would try to run faster or or for longer than half a mile the cramps would get bad, then I’d walk a  bit and they’d go away then start coming back. And I was guzzling Gatorade so maybe I was low on salt which seems insane since I ate out so much yesterday. 

But normally I do half Gatorade half water and a gel or some combination but I always use gels. I didn’t this time so that might have had an effect. Very interesting.  

I got another 1.3ish miles on the treadmill so I got just over 7 miles in today. 

I’ll have to add in another 4 miles somewhere this week. 

How was your morning? 

 What form of energy do you use during your run?

Dinner with the family!

by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

When my family gets together food is what we congregate around.

Aun, mom, stepdad

Uncle, aunt, grandma 

Deciding what to eat was a difficult decision 

Artichoke and fried onion appetizer

We like beer flights and tasters as well

Copperhead Salmon with mango quinoa salad and heirloom tomatoes……..OH MY GOSH this was sooooo good and tasted so fresh


The table shared two desserts. A brownie and a blackberry cobbler 

We couldn’t wait to taste them so the pics were taken after the desserts had made the rounds hahahahaaha 

Coffee after dinner!!!!!

Gotta love when mom comes to town and gives me shoes that didn’t fit her!!!

Sadly these are a little big but I will get pads to put in them because they are too cute to not keep

Also did some laundry today and prepped one meal for next week. 

Are you good at ordering at restaurants? 

Fun fact , I am GREAT at ordering, I am almost never disappointed with my meals.
