Week 2 of the 12 Week Challenge

Good morning everybody! I just got back from a great walk! I did not jalk this morning because I am tired... so very tired. So I negotiated with myself that instead of lying in bed and feeling sorry for myself, I would forgo any jogging and would walk to the center instead. And I did, and it felt great. Yay! Me!

Now, today is weigh-in and measuring day. I got on the scale. It ain't pretty. Lady Macbeth came to town yesterday and I put on a couple of pounds of bitch. Also, Sunday was a bit of shit storm. Melted cheese had a starring role. This happened because the baby shower I co-hosted on Saturday turned into a frat party. An elegant frat party, but a frat party nonetheless. Also, the Kid has a bad cold and yesterday I stayed at home. I was avoiding junk until the Kid decided to vomit allover me and I decided that jelly beans would help me through any post-tramautic stress I was experiencing. Oh, and new rule, Kid. There will be no more standing on the sofa. Stupid physics. So I'm feeling all sorts of jiggly due to the above-mentioned happenings but I will not give up and I will be measuring myself tonight when I get home and will post my stats tomorrow morning.

It is Canada Day and the Husband and I have been invited to the Official Residence. I CANNOT WAIT! Finally a real Canada Day party after 10 years in Vienna. I feel like smothering myself in maple syrup and drinking some Labatt. I could cry.

But what is a challenge if there isn't a plan and so I need to be very vigilant this week. I am aiming to get a few walks in until Lady Macbeth stops square dancing on my uterus and hopefully on Thursday and Friday I can get some Bikram in. On Saturday is a dear friend's birthday party so I will have to be super careful to rid our apartment of all cheese and all things that cheese can be melted onto. Such a good plan. I should also disable our wireless because melty cheesy things can also be delivered.

And so, I wish you a pleasant Tuesday and Canada Day! Stay tuned for posts about the Baby Shower and what I plan to eat this week so that I can bend over again. How are your stats looking today?!?

Dressing your Pear Shaped Figure

Image
Welcome to today's class on pear shapes. Yesterday I talked about hourglass figures and today is the "Pear". Yay!!! To find out if you are pear-shaped, follow me! Like what I wrote yesterday, grab a pencil and piece of paper and measuring tape. Measure your ta tas, waist and hips. Then draw out the lines on a piece of paper (i.e. if your measurement is 90, draw a 9 centimeter line, etc.) If your drawing looks like this, you're a Pear shape! Mazel Tov! Ta tas:           ________________ Waist:               ____________ Hips:      ________________________ Your hips should be the widest part of your body and your waist, the smallest. Unlike an hourglass, you are more bottom heavy (not equally split). The advantage of being pear shaped is a defined waist and smaller top which means you can wear fun tops and belts at the waist and all the things that I can't wear! Boo. Celebrities with pear shapes a...

The Kid's Birthday Party and Holding it Together the Best I Can

Image
Tomorrow is the big day, the big show. The Kid is having his 4th birthday party. His actual birthday isn't until Tuesday but that day is the Fasching Party at the kindergarten. Fasching is the Austro/German carnival and it kind of sucks that Fasching sounds so like Fascist. Whooops. Adults and kids dress up on Fat Tuesday and eat jelly doughnuts in preparation for lent. Or, as I like to call it, sucks to be you. Us Jews just have to fast for a day. Holla! Winning! Sigh. Anyway... tomorrow is a big day for me. Even though it really is a big day for the Kid... but the truth of the matter is, is that he could not care less about a party. Or, at least, we don't think he does. As most of you know, he has lost his language this past year and it is heart breaking but I keep hope eternal that it will come back. I think he did say "Mommy" today when a commercial for the Victoria's Secret fashion show was on but the camera was on Ed Sheeran... so... actually... he proba...

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...
