This Week's Workout and Eating Plan

Well, I have not pigged out in over a week and I am super happy about that. I feel much more in control and I am making so many more healthy choices (go ahead, pat me on the back). The smoothies help so much! And the smaller dinners as well. Last week was a great week for working out and I can't wait to hit the gym this morning. I've hit that gym high where I just want to go every morning. Yes, I have an addictive personality. I've heard that it takes 3 weeks to develop a habit and now it has happened.

Yesterday we did a test run to the new daycare: a) to time it (it takes about 5 minutes longer (we take the Ubahn instead of walking now) to get to than the old one but the Ubahn station is closer and we are 2 stops closer to our work so in the end it will even out)). and b) because on the 13th I am taking the Kid, I wanted to make sure I knew how to get there or else the Husband would get a panicked call from me dry heaving and saying "I'm loooooost!". I now feel more confident about it.

I did some laundry and vacuumed and threw out another big garbage bag of crap. I haven't started a massive clean up yet but I had to make space in the bedroom for Yoga. Will talk about that at another point. It's too soon. I wanted to weigh myself yesterday but my monthly visitor arrived and I usually put on 5 pounds of bitch so I didn't want to risk sending myself into a spiral of self-pity.

And so, today is yet another public holiday and I have to head to work and leave the Kid and the Husband to fend for themselves. Sad face. And you will be hearing this a lot for the next few weeks - I cannot wait to get through this nutso month.

And, here is this week's eating plan- breakfast is a smoothie, lunch is a salad or a soup or an energy bar (Wheat thins as a snack)

Monday: Pesto and mozz bagel and a salad
Tuesday: Rosemary chicken and feta penne (using my portion plate. I will cry)
Wednesday: Tomato soup and a bagel
Thursday: Styrian chicken salad
Friday: Kappa Maki
Saturday: BBQ chicken pizza (homemade wholewheat crust) with red peppers
Sunday: Chicken salad

Aaaand, my exercise plan (with squats, of course):

Monday: Gym 40 minutes crosstrainer
Tuesday: Gym 15 minutes bike, 25 minutes weights
Wednesday: Gym 40 minutes crosstrainer
Thursday: Gym 15 minutes bike, 25 minutes weights, Jillian Michaels 30 minute workout in the evening
Friday: Gym 40 minutes crosstrainer
Saturday: 6 km walk
Sunday: Yoga

I'm pretty psyched to be so motivated. Let's keep riding this wave of motivation before I fall face first into a cake.

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...

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". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
