What I'm Eating This Week

Yesterday I mentioned that I need to get back onto some good, clean eating. Emotional stress has led me to pack on the pounds and it doesn't feel good. But now that the Halloween party is vorbei, I am ready to detox, kind of. I wanted to go to the gym this morning but due to daylight savings time, the Kid was wide awake by the time I would have headed out so that was a no-go. Nobody with a toddler enjoys the seasonal time change... NOBODY!

So here is a menu for this week. I can't wait to feel better and not graze all day long. It has been a rough month for my waistline and chins. Lunches and breakfasts will involve yoghurts and rice crackers.

Monday: Soup and chicken fajita wrap
Tuesday: Curry and rice
Wednesday: Salad and chik patties with an English muffin
Thursday: Dinner out
Friday: French dip in the crockpot and salad
Saturday: Crockpot thai curry
Sunday: Veggie wrap from McDonalds

I hope that I can hit the gym at least once this week. It's up to you Kid, make it happen. At least I will be transporting him 2-3 times to the daycare and because he is spoiled, he demands to be carried up the steps. And when I wear heels, this becomes a full body workout.

I can't wait until Thursday, Halloween. I am heading to a friend's for dinner and we are watching scary stuff (Tova-appropriate so not too bloody, I hope). I figure a chilled night with friends is just what the doctor ordered.

On Wednesday morning, the Husband will be at home to meet with the psychotherapist for the Kid. The Kid will not doubt turn into Rainman since he will have an audience. Wednesday afternoon I have a meeting with someone about something that might be turning into something interesting and if it pans out, you will hear about it.

Otherwise I am looking forward to a relaxing week while my stomach yells at me for not consuming the fun-sized chocolate bars sitting in our kitchen. I shall resist you, you bastards! I am strong!

Happy Monday!

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
