Yay! its friday! Finally....well my 4 days of no carbs went pretty good i think..i lost 2 pounds...but the good part of losing the two pounds is that im due for my "friend" today or tomorrow so im usually a big bloated mess...and im not :) Which is wonderful :)
Workout today was biceps and triceps....yesterday was chest...wednesday back and abs, tuesday-shoulders, monday-legs..(i dont know why i just went backwards..LOL)
Anyway...last night i went to my moms for dinner....she made pasta for everyone except me...i had tilapia and a little bit of salad....then my mom (god love her) but she goes and makes those Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookies (ya know the bag mix that you just add eggs and oil and whatever else to)...they smelled sooo good...so she made cookies for absolutely no reason except to have something for a snack....which is sooo wrong....of course my sister didn't mind because she is pregnant and doesnt care..(now you know why i have food issues) But even my mom who is supposed to be on weight watchers and pays for the damn thing every week...i just dont get it. Oh and then i first got to my mom's she was watching "the biggest loser" from two weeks ago that she had on DVR...and i think it was one of the girls on the black team was saying how she used to diet all the time and never made any progress because all she did was sit on the couch and complain about being fat....to which my mom says "that is my problem, i have to get in the groove and start walking again but i just sit on the couch"....my response?? Well dont talk about it...just do it....there is absolutely no reason why you cant walk for 30 minutes a day! (Please take into consideration that my mom is not obese or anything by any means....but she wants to lose about 20 pounds or so)...stop bitching and do something and stop eating COOKIES!!!!
Why i get angry is this....that is how i used to be....i sat on the couch and complained.....and cried...and now since my whole mindset is different...i dont complain...(well i do a little bit..LOL) but i am still working out 6 days a week and eating clean and i will get the body that i want....i know how long it takes and how much hard work goes into it...but that isn't an issue anymore.....now its all about improvement...pushing myself more and more..constantly making better choices and feeling better about myself....never in a million years would i have ever thought that i would be getting up and going to the gym every morning at 6:30 and packing my food, and having work people make fun of all of my containers...don't get me wrong...i still have a long road ahead of me and a lot more fat to get rid of...but im doing it..no matter what....
And another thing.....to compete....never ever in my crazy head of mine ever thought i would be able to compete...now that has changed also..and getting my butt on a plane by myself to go to the Arnold?? That is a HUGE step for me...i never do what i want to do...and this is a big deal and i am SOOO doing it and its going to be great....and i get to meet my girl April..FINALLY!!! And Im sure i will be meeting many more people who are going there too!!! I cannot wait!
Wedding stuff....my wedding venue has changed....Les who runs Colleens where i am having my wedding bought a new place which is closer to me and he is redoing the whole place over. So i wont have to worry about:
1) Finding a place to take pictures (the original place didn't have a place to take pictures so i was trying to find a hotel with a nice lobby to use and just book a room there so it wouldn't be a problem)
2) Its a lot easier to get to...especially at 6:00 on a friday during rush hour traffic...
3) I think it comes with a complementary bridal suite and a honeymoon suite.
So my only worry is just making sure that the construction will be done!! He promised me that it would be....
Next up...i have to order invitations this week...im glad i picked them out already..that was a pain in the ass...then i have to go and by my undergarments because i have my first fitting next week....
this wedding planning crap is for the birds....its a pain in the ass...it really is....i knew we should have just went to the bahamas...LOL!
Ok, i think im done...

You're doing great Anglea. When the big day comes, you are going ot look beautiful.
You already look pretty breathtaking, and you are blessed with great genetics, that you just need to make work for you, and you're doing that, so competing is not a problem.
So kepe pushing on, and don't doubt yourself for a second. You have the whole shhbang under control, and you shoudl be so proud of yourself. You've turned your life around, and you look amazing as a result.
I'm always proud to read your blog and support you. I think you're a true, and GOOD LUCK to you misses.
:-) :-).

I know what you mean about people complaining but not doing anything about it. I had co-workers ask me during our lunch hours about fitness and weight-loss and how they're genetically predisposed to fatness, and have a slow metabolism, blah, blah...and all this was happening while they were eating a nice, big desert with their lunch! Bah!
How exciting--congrats on deciding to compete!! Maybe one day I'll have the follow through to do the same. I can't wait to follow your progress. Good luck on finishing all the wedding planning.
HI!!!
