Let Me Tell You About Yesterday

I really know how to start the week off right. So I’m getting ready yesterday AM and for some reason I start thinking about my options.

What options? My stock options from my previous job. When I left I was told that I would have 60 days to decide whether or not I wanted to buy my options.

Anyways, I’m in the shower…and of course a little late because that’s just how I roll and I start thinking. “Hmm…I feel like those are due soon.” I’m compelled to check the paperwork “just in case”. HA! Guess what I find out when I do finally check? It was the last day. It’s been 60 days and they need to have check in hand if I am to exercise my options…that day!

Know what that means? I would have to leave work early to drop off a check. More specifically, after my 1 hour drive to work I have to drive another 1.5 hours to Cambridge…then 45 minutes to my mom’s house…and finally back on the road to CT (2.5hrs). Guess who’s freakin exhausted? THIS GIRL!

I know that sometimes everyone’s life seems all hunky dory…with happy facebook, twitter, instagram, and blog posts. News flash – it’s a front. It’s not ALWAYS that good. Here is your reality check, people.

Yesterday was anything but ok. By 8pm I had had it with the whole freakin day. I’m much calmer now but I still thought I’d list everything that was absolutely annoying…for therapeutic reasons….in lieu of a journal entry.

1. Traffic
2. Boston traffic – this is the worst kind of traffic. I’m so happy to be back in CT. Yes, can you believe I’m ALREADY saying that? 
3. Road work on mass pike – I’m sure everyone thought it would just be PERFECT to repave the mass pike at 8pm on a Monday thinking no one would be on the road. But I WAS ON THE ROAD! And I did not appreciate having to sit in traffic while 3 lanes turned to one. ARGH! 30 minutes of traffic. I’m hyperventilating just thinking about it. Kidding. 😉
4. Fools on the road – Stay in your lane. Enough said. 
5. Mean truck drivers – can you believe this jerk? He was riding my bum until I got out of the middle lane. I mean, inches from my bumper. So I move out of his way. Then what do I see? He does it AGAIN to another unsuspecting driver. Unbelievable. 
6. Amazon – sending my shipment to the wrong address. Listen Amazon, you made it look like I was shipping to CT when in actuality the shipping address was in MA. NOT cool.

That’s it! I feel better already. Especially when I come home to this face.

Somehow I still managed to get in 6 “meals” even with a hectic day.

• Meal 1 – ham & cheese eggs courtesy of pilot
• Meal 2 – fig overnight oats
• Meal 3 – soba noodles with grilled veggies and chicken
• Meal 4 – yogurt (while sitting outside after my drive)
• Meal 5 – tuna pouch, handful of broccoli, and a handful of peanuts (then back on the road)
• Meal 6 – casein pudding (11:30pm)

Meal 6 was a little too late and my stomach made sure to tell me so in the AM. Sooo…intermittent fasting today. I only made it 12.5 hours. I guess the key is 16 hours. You might as well tell me it’s an eternity because that’s what 16 hours sounds like. 🙂

Anyways, today was better than yesterday. I even did a Food Prep Tuesday.

Here’s a preview.

I’ll post details tomorrow. Stay tuned and good night.
