1 day until the TV crew is here!!!!!!
Thank you for your congrats! For those of you who asked, I will be on CTV News. They are one of the most popular news stations in all of Toronto!!!! They will be airing some preview clips over the weekend and then the feature will air on Monday (time TBA). I will also ask them if it will be streamed online- if not- I may have to get Eric to covertly tape it??? ;)
I’m not going to lie, I have had zero appetite since I heard that I was going to be on TV. I am by nature a very anxious person, and the thought of being on TV brings me WAY out of my comfort zone. I am just proud of myself for doing it though! :) I keep telling myself, it is never as bad as I imagine. In fact, I’m sure it will be FUN! :D You only live once right?
I have been living off the Green Monster. No matter how nervous I feel I am always ready for Green Monster in my tummy!
This mixture was lovely- Almond milk, Amazing Grass Chocolate Meal, chia seeds, frozen blueberries, spinach. Just a delight in a cup, folks. I had two today.
I like chomping on things when I am nervous. I figure these organic carrots are much better than chomping on chips…
Pop quiz: How do you know you are stressed?
When you chomp through 2 carrots and don’t really recall eating them, but you have the stubs as evidence.
Don’t worry- I had lots of other food today too…just no time to photograph!
You can be sure that I will be keeping up with my workouts over the next couple days as a great stress reliever!
I had a crazy good workout today. My wild night off last night sure paid off! ;)
I did a 60 min treadmill hill workout (speed 4, incline 11%) followed by my best Whittle My Middle yet!
Check it out:
Day 22 (Dec 2)
- Plank: 1:30 secs (arms extended)
- Side Plank: 1:30 (arms bent)
- Plank with elbows on stability ball: 1:30 secs
- Stability Ball Jackknifes: 15 reps
- Stability ball roll out: 15 reps
- Plank Rotations: 1:30 secs
Today was the first day I was able to bring back the 90 second planks!!!! :D I was so happy. My core feels strong.

I’d like to take this moment to let you know that
I have NO IDEA WHAT I AM GOING TO WEAR!!!!
I had a few tops picked out and then I read that the colours: Red, White, and Black are no-no’s for the camera. Guess what colour my chosen shirts were??? LOL.
So tomorrow, I am booting it to the mall. I am on the HUNT for a COLOURED blazer!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone knows where I can find a coloured blazer (note: Not black, white, grey, or brown) please let me know! We don’t have J Crew, so that isn’t an option. I am looking for a bright blue or teal colour specifically (it’s my ‘power’ colour), but I doubt I will be able to find one in the winter…?
I am going to check out the following stores: Jacob, H&M, Club Monaco, Tristan, Banana Republic, Le Chateau.

I’d also like to take this moment to tell you all how much I love my Dear Husband.
He got home from work tonight and started helping me clean. We just stopped around 11:30pm!
We will be moving the extra couch out of this room for Friday…
We moved the small tree to cover the eye sore wires in the corner…
Don’t ask…
I brought the lamp down from our bedroom and put it in this room. It looks quite warm and lovely. I moved the Sketchie lamp into our bedroom.
Fixed the tablecloth. Vacuumed floors.
Washed floors. Cleaned kitchen.
Eric got rid of all of his reno stuff in the entry way and living room! The entry way looks much better now. He refused to remove the blue painter’s tape since he still needs it for painting. I don’t blame him. I need to do the ribbon on the other side.
Cleaned the office and desk areas.
Random question: What colour is your Tweetdeck?
As you can see, mine is green, for Green Monsters. ;) I might change it soon though…
I’m off to pack up some Glo Bar boxes for Friday (I’m hoping they put them on camera!!!) and finish some cleaning stuff.
I feel like I’m on a reality show!
Your house looks great! I hope they do post your interview online. I can’t wait to see it!
My Tweetdeck is the default dark grey. It is pleasing to my eye so I never bothered changing it.
I think you can definitely find a nice light grey blazer and then wear a teal or bright blue shirt under it and it will be gorgeous. And then you can wear a grey blazer with anything going forward. Good luck!
Hee hee, I don’t even know what a TweetDeck is!
Definitely check Banana Republic! I bet you will find a nice blazer there.
Good luck tomorrow! I am so excited for you! :)
Yey!
I ll switch my morning ritual of cable plus 24 just for you :)
I’ve seen tonnes of blazers at H&M but they are veeeeeery trendy ones there right now. I d think your best bet would be Jacob . They always have classy stuff.
Good look don’t forget to breathe and ask ahead of time what camera you are to look at , as Im sure there will be more than one.Oh and if you wear any bronzer go very easy on it that day, because for some reason tv can make people look very orange very easily, its the lighting I think.
Your house looks gorgeous! You look gorgeous! And I am excited for you about tomorrow.
You have been given some great tips too!
I know you will rock tomorrow just being yourself!!!!
Don’t worry about the ten pounds from the camera. You are so beautiful! You will look glowing. Also, Ann Taylor Loft has a purple blazer right now but I think you are right to look for a blue.
Good luck! The house looks great!!
your house looks beautiful! crank the christmas music and try to chillax! There was just a bit in Elle from one of the staffers who’s on The City (so you know her word is gospel, cuz it’s The City and that’s like legit tv right there). Anyway, she had a bunch of tips about dressing for tv, but I already dropped my old issue off at the gym. I remember she said that getting a blow-out makes a big difference. OH, also, that your shouldn’t wear skirts on tv that hit you at your calves because they chop you up.
Good luck! So excited for you!
Eep!! So exciting! Know we are here rooting for you, Ange:-D I think it’s a great idea to keep chugging those GM’s – especially if you have no appetite for anything else. And you will look gorgeous on TV. Don’t worry about the adding the 10 pounds – you always look stunning in your “vlogs!”Nice job on the workout, woman! I will one day get to the 90 second plank!
Your house looks gorgeous! Talk about a cleaning spree! That’s great that Eric could help you.
Good luck at the mall today, sweetie!
You know lady, most of us have only ever seen you on camera before, and I think we can all say you look stunning! Good luck finding a colored blazer – I don’t even own a black/white/brown one, so I’m no help :)
Congratulations! Your house looks beautiful…it will be a lovely backdrop for your interview. You’ll do great :)
Hey! I think we have the same couch!
You have a GORGEOUS place =]
YAY!!! CTV!!! So excited to see you!!! :)
Awe Angie…don’t sweat the small stuff..(the 10 lbs thing), you WILL do great!
Your home is beautiful!
Enjoy!
Oooo I’ll definitely make sure to tune into CTV Monday!
Try Smart Set, they usually have some colourful blazers!
Good luck, I’m sure you’ll do fine!
Very exciting. Congrats and good luck. I am always nervous too for on camera stuff. Radio is way easier. What are you going to be on for? I think I missed that part. If you need any info on media stuff, I think I had some stuff on what to wear but I need to double check if you are interested. I did media training once and have a huge binder of resources.
CTV! Wow that is awesome! I am going to watch for sure!
Suzy Shier is always good for some nice blazers… its always been good to me!
Good luck once again!
Check out RW & Co. They had some nice stuff when I was in there the other day. I figure if they have that store in Guelph and Kitchener, it should be at a mall in Toronto.
Good luck :)
the house looks beautiful! And i LOVE the ceiling in your kitchen!!! That’s awesome.
angela you’re gonna rock toronto’s socks off…you’ll be amazing…and you are not anywhere close to being FAT, so you will not appear huge on television!
i think you will have the most luck at h&m…and perhaps jacob…i saw some colourful jackets the other day…
omg good luck…and CONGRATS!!!!
=)
p.s. your house looks spectacular…
