Lacey In Real Life.

YESTERDAY…

• Woke up at Elliot’s- went to work.
• Worked all day- left work really tired.
• Went home and sort-of napped for an hour.
• Went to the gym to lift (Scheduled: Rest Day).
• Biked easy for 20 minutes with Women’s Health Magazine, sweated way more than the workout justified, then lifted, then showered.
• Went to the grocery store for a quick stop to pick up a few things to make Elliot and myself dinner.
• Left the grocery store and realized I had forgotten egg whites- a key component to oatmeal pancakes.
• Went back to the grocery store. Secured egg whites. Also grabbed Stacey’s Parmesan Garlic Pita Chips which I had passed up the first run through, but they were on sale and I knew Elliot would want something more than dinner to snack on. I also wanted to try them.
• Came home, brought groceries inside, realized wallet was in grocery bags, thought “oops” I’ll put it in my work bag and bring it with me tomorrow morning.
• Made dinner:
• banana-pumpkin oatmeal pancakes
• strawberries
• veggie+cilantro filled omelets
• Got a call that Elliot was arriving at the bus stop.
• Got in my car to go pick him up.
• STOPPED at the stop sign down the road from my house, BUT…
• GOT PULLED OVER by a cop sitting in his car next to the stop sign. He claimed I rolled through. He’s wrong.
• Cried.
• Got a warning only for the stop sign (um, hello, I STOPPED), BUT…
• Got a $35 ticket for not having my license in the car.
• Kept crying.
• Police officer said, “Now don’t get all choked up just because of me…” and then said, “Make sure you appeal this- just tell them you were making a quick trip to the bus stop.” WHY did you give me a ticket then if you’re going to tell me to just appeal it?!
• Kept crying- I get really upset when stupid and unnecessary things happen.
• Picked up Elliot.
• Elliot gave me $25 to stop crying, “Honey now your ticket only costs $10!”
• Stopped crying.
• Ate dinner.
• Watched Firefly.
• Couldn’t fall asleep- neighbors driveway light stayed on all night?!- Fell asleep eventually.

 

Please notice that Morning Core is ABSENT from my morning routine. As soon as I started morning running last week my mini morning core challenge went right out the window!!! I was too pressed for time with stretching and rolling. But I am determined to get back into it, and I’ll be sure to report daily.
