Weight Loss Update (My New Plan Moving Forward) [EDITED]

             I have sure derailed my diet and gained and lost weight on and off and i need to start losing weight and get myself down to 180 - 185 pounds again which is my goal weight at this point. I am going to be cutting down on things but not entirely but I have to have it in my diet but not in a big quantity. So what am I going to be cutting down on? Well here is my list of what I would like to give up for the duration of this diet as I wanna get this diet done soon as I have been on it for nearly 2 years. Anyways here is my list of what I would like to cut down on:

1) Sugar, the amount of sugar intake I have during the daytime.

2) Bread, I think that is part of the reason why I ended up going up in the weight as bread is one of the reason. However, I will not cut it out completely, I will have 2 pieces of bread once a week, then 1 piece of a bread during the week. 

3) Kielbassa as I do not think it helps the weight loss situation but even once a week is fine for a treat so I will not be cutting it out completely but down by quite a bit now.

4) Chocolate which is a weakness for me and I am not tempted by it and yes I have had chocolate once a week during this diet which is fine but I am not making it a habit of always having it everyday but weekly or once and a while is fine.

5) Cookies, Chips, any junk food in general. I am trying to stay away from all of this as it was another weakness of mine as well but I think I have been doing well.


               Now one thing I want to continue is exercising which I have been doing lately and it has helped and Saturday, alone I was over 13000 steps which is amazing and I did well so exercise is going to be one of my # 1 things to do is exercise, go out for a walk for 45 minutes to an hour. Also I plan on busing it to my appointments as the exercise will be good for me to get to my appointments there and back but if it rains then I can always get a ride or just dress up appropriately for the weather. However, this is my plan and I am going to stick to my diet this time around as well.

Ukrainian & Polish Festival 2018 In Toronto

             Yesterday, I got the opportunity to go to two festivals, the Ukrainian & Polish Festival, yes tons of food and definitely a weight gainer as you know I am on a diet right now but I took yesterday as one of my fat days for the festival and I am allowed that once and a while and yesterday was one of those days. So we left at around 10 am in the morning, drove down to York Mills Subway station and got on from there. We had to transfer at Bloor to the Bloor Danforth Line all the way over to Jane for the festival. Yes I realize it is a long way to go but worth it in the end. We got there and started to look around and we turned around and there was the parade which is do a parade that they do each and every year to launch the festival and as you can see above, there is the start of the parade. Next we walked down the street looking at some of the booths there, so many political tables which I do not know why they have to even campaign at this event as we are going into another election which will be municipal. Anyways we grabbed some food, this year we had perogies and Latke which are potato pancakes.  We finished looking around and headed on out from festival 1. 



                Then we headed our way to the Polish festival off of Roncesville in Toronto, Ontario and it was a lot to take in as it goes a very great stretch down the street. We heard some great music, Polka Music to be exact and also they had dancing as well which I have have seen polish dance before at the General Sorkorski Hall here, locally last year during Fiesta Week. As for dinner we had polish sausage on a bun which the bun was so fresh and the sausage itself was really tender and great. Another great year at both of the festivals and looking forward to going back next year with my dad once again as both him and I do this each and every year. It is always fun to go even though, there is tons of walking involved with it but it is good exercise and glad to be away from the studio for the day.

Twitch Problems Continue!

                As most of you know, you have seen me go live a couple of times to test run on Twitch for Everything About Reality TV Podcast to actually return to video but chat decided to not load for me for no apparent reason and yet I never broke any rules whatsoever. I think I ended up getting chat banned but how when I never once spammed or broke a rule. I even asked my moderator presently in the chat at the time and they said they see the chat so I got my suspicions I got chat banned and I never broke any of the TOS which makes me quite furious honestly as I was actually looking forward to my podcast returning to video on top of the Audio ONLY as well. I don't know how long but Twitch better fix this fast or I will not be returning to Twitch and might just return to YouTube after all even tho I said I was retired from the platform but at this point I may have no choice now with the recent actions by Twitch to come out of retirement and go back to YouTube. 


                I have had issues with Twitch since the day 1 and being constantly harassed and insulted for no reason which honestly questions me even doing podcasts live down the road in the long run at this point. I even was on Twitch today watching streams and the stupid chat there no messages showing up nor the chatters list is appearing so now I have to start rethink things and figure out if I am or am I not returning to video as I would like to actually grow the podcast further but it seems I am just not welcome to the platform and plus I really hated the fact I was trolled and called an effin autistic for no reason and I banned the people for that but yet they came back so I am definitely at this point scratching Twitch off my list for even thinking about returning, even if people beg me to come back, I am officially saying this and I am retired from Broadcasting along with YouTube. I just do not see going live is a fit for the podcasts I do both the collaboration Podcasts and Everything About Reality TV Podcast. It was fun while it lasted and I will have nothing but tons of memories to remember the rest of my life.

Big Brother U.S. & Everything About Reality TV Talk

              I am lost for words what's been going on in the Big Brother world. I already heard about Julie's husband Les Moonves and the allegations and now rumors that Big Brother might be losing Julie the host of the show after 20 seasons now. I do know there could be another host for the show if she decides to step down. We all know it will not be the same obviously but the show must go on and we will be forever grateful for her hosting the show for this long. I heard speculations that the show could not be renewed for a 21st season and the show would just end which mind you I would not be happy whatsoever if it did as it has been my life even before Everything About Reality TV Podcast came into the picture almost 3 years ago.  It wouldn't be the same if it ends. I also know they renewed the Celebrity Big Brother and if Julie did step down which she has not indicated she is anytime soon which is great to know as she wants to stay on with the show. I hope they do go through with Celebrity Big Brother, even if they get a new host like Marissa Jaret Winokur or Ross Matthews for example as they are super fans. Please realize before whining at me in the comments below, that this is only speculations. Nothing is set in stone, nor we do not know if Julie will step down before the season ends. We will just have to wait and see what happens and just have a little patience.


              Now to the main part of this post is the question of the hour: What if Big Brother US and/or Celebrity Big Brother US get cancelled, what does this mean for my podcast and the loyal listeners of "Everything About Reality TV?" I have said it many, many times in the past, my podcast is not going anywhere! It is here to stay! There are other Reality TV Shows to cover such as Survivor, which RECAPS start a little late due to me being away in the states on a family matter. (Yes I am giving myself a shameless plug on my own blog, LOL!) Also Big Brother Canada is going strong up here in the great white north, also got Amazing Race US which now is getting back to the old timetable as I heard through the grapevine that it has been renewed for a 32nd Season too! There is also Amazing Race Canada which I am pretty sure after this amazing season which just wrapped up  it'll be back again for sure. Finally Music City is on the timetable and I am waiting for an announcement or email from CMT when it is as they actually reached out to me earlier this year about the show which I greatly accepted tthe idea to recap the show! 


              You guys will be the ones to know first if something is going off air or changes to the programming of Everything About Reality TV, I will be letting you guys know way in advance that there is change. I am always on the updates with you guys and that is probably one of my best qualities and you are most definitely the first to know and what the plan is moving forward. Honestly I do not have a plan, right now everything is being played by ear at this point of time.

My Thoughts About Mission Impossible 6

                 I know and I realize this was weeks ago since my parents and I went to see the movie but I totally forgot to do an actual review of the money and I hope I can remember how the movie went as it has been about a month since we went to see the movie but I will try my best to explain some favorite parts of the movie as much as possible. So my mom and dad and I decided to go to a movie and chose to go see Mission Impossible 4 which mind you it was a great movie to see. I didn't think Tom Cruise still had it in him for an old timer, well he's in his 50's now but I couldn't believe how great he looked for being in his 50's.


                  First thing I want to talk about without giving tons of spoilers as I am not that kind of person to do that to you guys but I really like the locations they were in, France being one of them which I couldn't believe how small the size of the streets were there, it was very, very small! Also a country I never heard of but it was a cute little country. There is nothing wrong with that, going to an country that we do not hear about, but hey it is a location they wanted to go and they went to. Now the scenery United Arab Emirates which was beautiful scenery with the mountains and what not it was one of my favorite locations in the movie. Also I really liked France and England if I got the location right but I believe it was England mostly as I recognized London England as well. Also the story line behind the movie was amazing and I actually do not remember Ethan which is played by Tom Cruise had a wife in the movie and my parents mentioned to me that it could of been in the 1st or 2nd movie but I need to go back and watch em all as I have seen only 1 and 3 in the way of the movies and yes I know I am missing out on a lot of things!


                   Finally I highly recommend the movie as it was a great movie, the story line, the plot, the action, the locations it was all great! I know more then likely now it will be out of theaters but once it comes out on DVD, I am definitely planning to get the movie on DVD along with all the other movies. I believe there are 6 movies in the franchise and if I am wrong please leave me a comment so I can make a correction in the post.

Favorite Goosebumps Episodes

               With October not far away and Halloween is upon us very much soon, I wanted to talk on today's blog post my favorite Goosebump episodes as a kid. I know this is kind of like a throwback Monday story sort of blog post but there are a couple of favorite episodes that come to mind that I really like so here is my list of my favorite episodes:

1) "Night of The Living Dummy" 1 - 3 and night of the Living Bride, probably one of the most popular of the Goosebump episodes that came out and more then likely still very popular to this even current day.

2) The Haunted Mask I & 2: Probably the best Halloween episode and probably I think was one of the very first episodes I ever seen when I was growing up if I remember correctly.

3) The Perfect School PT 1 & 2: I found these episodes kind of odd but was a good episode regardless and I did enjoy the episodes even if though it was quite strange but that is why they call it Goosebumps.

4) Stay Out of The Basement: Not much to say about this episode but it is on my list and was actually an interesting episode.

                 
                 This is not much of a list as I have but hey it is better then nothing and I'm sure there were episodes I never seen either or wasn't overly keen on but that's OK, it is a matter of opinion. I hope you guys enjoyed this smaller blog post and hope you will once again read the blog again tomorrow as usual. 


Have a great rest of your day,

Autism Celebration Planning Event Update....

         I know I actually mentioned the event in one of the blogs before and I actually do not have a date and I am worried it will end up Monday the 1st of October and I will not be able to attend as I will be returning home from Minnesota, but however I will act like the event is still a go for myself and Chris B On The Web but I cannot guaranteed anything if I end up getting a Oct 1st date, then all this planning for nothing. It is not my fault and these things happen but I am going to continue on to plan as usual and if worse comes to worse I will have a board for next year. The wedding is more important to go to as it is family and family does come first one way or another. 


          So I have come pretty far with planning, I got the flyers done and a few of the panels completed and I will be turning to my alumni Adviser this weekend see what he thinks of what I have done so far. I have gotten done the about Chris B On The Web, got past projects I have done both YouTube and Podcasts. I need to do a panel for Everything About Reality TV, bio. I also have to do an information panel on the collab podcasts as I have started to post up the collabs once a week at the most. The 3rd panel that is what I need to talk to Larry about as I have been promoting CICE Program for the past 6 years now and not sure if I want to continue to promote the program if I choose not to, then I am not sure what the heck I want to do with that 3rd panel. I need ideas and what could actually go on that panel if this is the route I plan on taking this year. I surely need to come up with a plan to what I would like to do, that's for sure... It is really hard to decide what is what this time around with limited help and I am the only one working on the board right now. 


             I am however, excited about attending the Autism Celebration this year as I took last year off and I am back, bigger and better then ever and got ideas in my head just unsure how things will look at this point but it will all slowly come together slowly but surely and I am planning to setup a table down here to start putting things together finally and get this board finished. Only real thing that will be updated for next year if the event is on the 1st is the banner and pictures I have on the board and maybe some of the information, event schedule as well. I am prepared for the worse in case worse does come to worse and hopefully this isn't the case this year as I really wanna attend this event really badly.
