Week 2 of the 12 Week Challenge


Happy Monday! Wow! End of week 1 and I am so happy to report that I lost some weight. This is epic considering I was sick this weekend and it was a weekend and weekend rhymes with pizza. I did not drink anything which pretty much is a flashing sign that girl be sick. I tried to do mind over matter throughout the weekend.

My body was all like "Gurl, you sick."
And I was all like "No way, Jose. I have stuff to do."
And my body was all like "Watch me shut down!"
And I was all like "Mind conquers all, bitch."

It was a ghetto pantomine and I'm still not sure if I am sick or not but since I am heading to work, survey says that I'm going to be o.k. Last night was epic but I will talk about it in another post. However, after the momentous event, the Kid decided to drive us up the wall at 20 minute intervals for 2 hours. Then at 4, he started up again. Needless to say, I am the walking dead this morning.
For the love of God, go.to.sleep

But back to the challenge. The past week was not bad in terms of keeping my calories at a good level. Sure, there were a few days I thought I would go all coyote and eat my own arm, but otherwise, it was not that bad. I also got a ton of walking in thanks to Fitbit. What I really like about it is that it keeps me moving. It's a little like a Jewish mother sending you e-mails like "Just a few more steps" or "You've reached your calorie intake for the day". Screw you Fitbit, you're not the boss of me. Or, maybe you are. Sigh.

So, without further ado... I present my stats.



I am down 2.5 kilos which is 5.5 pounds. I know that the majority of it is water but hey, I'll take it! Here is to another successful week. My goals are (exercise-wise)

Monday: Walk (45 minutes)
Tuesday: Step machine (45 minutes)
Wednesday: Step machine and 30 minutes of yoga
Thursday: Walk (45 minutes) and morning pilates (1 hour)
Friday: Walk (45 minutes) and maybe Bikram
Saturday: Walk (45 minutes)
Sunday: Bikram

Gotta keep moving and keeping my calories low!! Hope you all are happy with your stats! 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".
