Thank God it’s Thursday! Only a few hours separate me from the weekend and after yesterday, I cannot wait for some much needed sleep! As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I had a busy and nerve-wracking day.
I was supposed to meet with on of our clients and his lawyer to talk about prepping him for trial, but instead we were that we would be meeting with the other side to negotiate a settlement. Talk about making an already stressful event, even more stressful! Luckily, everything went off without a hitch, except for the part where I got a ticket – my first ticket ever! A copped pulled me over for making an illegal turn that wasn’t actually illegal. You can bet that I’m going to fight it – I know I’m right! And not to mention that the cop was a total jerk and wouldn’t even make eye contact with me. I found that kind of rude.
Anywho, I have no eats to share because I basically ate nothing yesterday. I had some cereal for breakfast and packed a lunch, but I left it in the office and never got to go back to the office before having to go to school for my midterm. On my way to school I grabbed a bagel from the corner deli where pickins are very slim. I also bought an iced coffee when I got to school which I proceeded to spill all over the floor two minutes before the test started. I was a hot mess yesterday!
After my midterm, I was ready to shut off my brain so I decided to read some articles and see what I had missed after my day. I found an article in the New York Times Fitness and Nutrition section that put a big smile on my face. Dessert At Breakfast May Help Dieters! Basically there was a study in which 144 obese people, ages 20 to 65, were put on low-carb and low calorie diets. The only difference between the two groups was that one group was allowed to eat dessert for breakfast – cookies, cake, ice cream. Get this..the dessert group lost 13 more pounds on average than the control group.
So instead of this….
maybe I’ll start my days with this from now on!
Probably not!
Even though the article was interesting, it comes down to the fact that you cannot deprive yourself of anything because it will not work out well in the end. Now pass me a cupcake!
Have a great Thursday!
Have you ever gotten a ticket? Dessert for breakfast – yay or nay?
I may be late, but I love your new blog design!
Sorry about what happen. Hopefully you can argue it!
The article sound so interesting! Now there's a reason to eat more cake for breakfast. Haha.
That crumb cupcake look amazing. I wish there was one near me!!
Thank you! I am in love with my new design.
I hope the article is right! Cake for breakfast is what's up! 🙂
Ugh, so sorry about the ticket. It must be beyond frustrating to have that happen when you know that you clearly haven't done anything wrong. I hope you can fight it and win!
Those cupcakes look AMAZING. Crumbs is always one of my go-to places whenever I'm in NYC. Do you have a favorite flavor?
I hope I can win too! My friends told me that if the cop doesn't show up for the hearing it's automatically dismissed, so hopefully that happens. He was such a jerk!
I LOVE Crumbs. I used to work two blocks from the one near Bryant Park and it was so hard not to stop in on my way home a few times a week. I love red velvet!
beautiful cupcakes!! good luck with the ticket. that's irritating! i haven't gotten one yet, but i did get pulled over for running a stop sign. that i totally did NOT run!
In NY, cops have a quota which they need to meet at the end of the month and I just happened to get stopped on the last day of the month. I don't think it a coincidence!
I am so sorry that you got a ticket! Good luck! I hope you can get rid of it! I got pulled over back when I was in college on a busy highway. I got a ticket for failure to keep right. Seriously?! I was in the middle of changing lanes and the cop pulled me over for such a bs reason. He was rude too when I showed up to court. He dropped points but I had to pay a hefty fine.
Thanks I hope so too! When I went to plead not guilty yesterday online it said the ticket hasn't been entered into the system yet so maybe it won't be entered at all. Wishful thinking. It really bothers me that I can't find what the fine would be online!
