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

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".
