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!
That’s the first time I have ever seen a Tweet Deck, ha ha, I have never used it! :)
CTV? That’s so exciting! Can’t wait to watch it, keep us updated on air times if you can. About the blazer… I think you’ve got some good guidance already. Banana Republic, Smart set, and Jacob would be where I’d look first. And this is totally “duh” advice, but even though you’re suffering a lack of appetite, make sure you eat lots of good food! Nothing looks worse on camera than sallow skin, and I know my skin loses oomph after even just a day of poor nutrition (and I have uber-fair skin like yours, so I’m guessing it would be the same for you). This is all so neat – you only live once, and you’re really racking up the life experience notches on the belt! Good luck, I know you’ll be great.
Wow! Your house is so gorgeous and spacious!
There is a navy cordurpy blazer at Banana, but if bright blue is your color…they have this awesome blue cashmere sweater dress…it can be a splurge to celebrate your success!
By the way, I made a green monster this morning and left the extra that didn’t fit in the cup in the fridge. My boyfriend drank it this morning and was texting me for the recipe so he could make another…Success!!!
Your home is gorgeous:)
You are already a star! I hope Eric can tape it or post it on youtube or something so us non-Canadians can see it. Good luck!
I had my first Green Monster today and it was yummy. Just spinach and berries to start.
Good luck finding the right color blazer.
Break a leg …
You have a HUGE house…and so clean! I love it! Good luck tomorrow!
Oh no no I didn’t mean you should censor yourself and I by no means expect perfection. I’ve just become such a HUGE fan of your blog over the months that the specific comment seemed sort of “out” of character. You have such wonderful things to say and the little note you put in my package of Glo Bars brightened my day, so if you can brighten my day I just know you can brighten your own! And you are such a gorgeous girl (and photogenic so tv cameras will look great) I guess I just hope you embrace all your wonderful talents and beauty because you deserve it, heck everyone does!
I don’t even know what a tweetdeck is and I use twitter! It does have to do with twitter, right?
i’m just going to say good luck, and you have a beautiful home. :)
I just love your house! It’s so beautiful!!!!
I’ve read the news about YOU being on the news but haven’t commented yet … CONGRATS, Ang, that’s so neat!! : )
You’ll rock it!!
Congrats Ange!!
Your house looks beautiful! You’ll do great :)
Check out RW, Cleo or Mexx.
I am a very anxious person as well, I can totally relate. Green monsters are the only thing I can really get down when I am nervous too!! Great fall back though. ;) Love them! My tweetdeck is the dark purple. I am probably going to change soon though!
