Day 2 (update on day 1)

DAY 2!

I made it! I started the one hundred push-up challenge. I did the exhaustion test (7 push ups was my MAX OUT. Sad) and I did the day 1 work out. 6,6,4,4 and a max which had to be at least 5. SO 5 sets of push-ups a day. Just to clarify My max out for my last set I was able to do 7! BOOOYYAHH!!! :) And I did the normal, manly, plank style push-up. Im not a sissy! I don't use my knees! ahaha!

Confusing.

I'm on day 2 now so today I'm faced with 6,6,8,6 and a max out of at least 7. My pecs are so sore today! what a work out! i can feel it in my legs chest, and especially my abs! It's a great feeling though! i miss getting a great work out. This is definitely a great challenge! I'm supposed to skip days in between workouts but I started on a Thursday so I'll do today (friday) and skip to Sunday. Then I'll start monday, wednesday, friday. 30 minutes a week is easy enough right? 6 weeks? thats nothing! I should look nice and in shape for summer! :)

After this 100 is all said and done I plan on doing the squat challenge! can you imagine? Doing 100 push-ups every workout then doing squats? crazy! I might even move onto the 200 push-up challenge! ahha! then maybe I'll do a marathon (yeah, right!)

Well I won't get all pessimistic, you really never know what you are capable of. Maybe I will do a marathon! :D

Off to do my 5 sets for the day! I'll keep ya updated! ;)

TTFN!

Spring has sprung!

Guess what Angela got?!

An iMac!!

oh baby! it's way sweet! haha

So i have NOT blogged in over a month, so sad :(

Much has changed and instead of some of the negatives that have happened, i plan on forgetting and moving on! (one of my new years resolutions was to be more positive and to stop worrying about things and holding grudges!)

I've been doing pretty well with that. So! Shia ran the L.A. marathon, super proud of him. He did really good too! :D!

TODAY is day 1.

I decided to do something that I have been DYING to do. Work out, keep up with it, and get back to me.

I am doing... (drum roll) the one hundred push up challenge! I know! I KNOW! scary, right? I did my exhaustion day. I did 7 push-ups. SUPER SAD cuz at one point my brother bet me that I couldn't do 50 in a row without stopping, and I did it. BOOYAH!!! haha well, i guess karma or some other form of back-lash has come full force. :*( I am not about to feel bad about myself though! I did it and published it to make a point that I am starting from scratch and that anyyyyone can do it. I swear I thought all my veins in my forehead were going to explode and then my brains were going to puke out after that. I am exhausted. Super pathetic!

SO it goes like this. You do it in weeks and build from that. I am in the 2nd bracket so I will do 5 sets of push-ups and thats my day one. Today is a Thursday so I think I might have to scrunch some in for the next couple of days. I don't want to really... but I'm committed! Next week, week 2, I'm going to do Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Thats my plan. I always have time at night to do whatever it is I decide to do..well I never do anything worth that time..stupid TV. My plan is now to do this 3 days a week and build to 100. What a challenge! I should be done in about 6 weeks. After that I plan on maybe doing a 200. WHOA! haha.

Some of you may be asking yourself, Why this challenge? This seems far fetched?

Well Me personally, I love arm workouts. I love feeling the soreness in my arms, i feel accomplished and women have a bad rep. for push-ups and arm workouts. Well I know that I use my arms in my line of work so I think this would benefit from it.

Here are some cool facts about push-ups:

Push ups are not only great for your chest, but do a tremendous job of defining your abs, triceps, shoulders and torso.

If you're looking to develop a great chest and shoulders, you could do much worse than follow along with the hundred push ups plan. Your core strength will also go through the roof too!

To improve your strength, fitness and general health all you need to do is commit about 30 minutes of your time per week.

SOUNDS GREAT TO ME!

Well, now I have to go do my 5 sets.

I'll update for the rest of Week 1!!

OOOHH BABY!! IM GONNA HAVE SOME PYTHONS! HAHAHAHA!

You know... this is a rambling joke.

It's been an interesting couple of weeks.

I've been noticing alot of changes.

I hope its going to make you notice.

I almost have noticed, with change, that when it rains... it pours.

We have a new owner at work. He seems like a great guy. I'm very excited to see what changes are going to be made. I know I'm looking forward to going back to strictly Aveda. I miss that.

You make my heart sing

I feel a new phase is coming in my life. I feel like with weather, everything can change. Starting fresh, almost as if the trees are making everyone's life change. No matter if its in 2 more months or if its in 2 days, when the trees start to bud, when they all start to come back to life, its a rebirth. What do we want to get rid of in the spring? What is making us feel cluttered, claustrophobic, a little insane? When do we decide that enough is enough?

And each time I tell myself, well, I think I've had enough.

never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night.

I think that in all the crazy feelings over winter, I've finally made up my mind. Maybe faults have my mind reeeling.

What is fair? A question that has been on my mind lately.


I told myself, "This blog will be my thoughts. I owe it to myself to be uncensored and think for myself." Therefore I will be selfish. Let anyone who wants, see it. Some may not like it, but it's thoughts and that is why people are obsessed with the idea of mind-reading.

february update.

Well, February 16th was my 21st birthday! it was a pretty amazing day!

we had somewhat of a new orleans, fat tuesday theme. which is always one of my favorite themes. just love all of the colors.

We had about 40+ people at the house and i really did not expect that many people. we had a really good 2 man accoustic band. They call themselves black moccasin. i love that name. Its really all accoustic. and eric and tony are the band memebers. tony looks mad all the time usually but i was pleasantly surprised that he's just shy and doesn't hate me. lol i actually saw him smile for most of the night. eric looks like johnny depp. enough said about that...

so the band played for about 5 hours. i think they were pretty exhausted. i dont blame them really. i would definitely have blisters on mah fingas!

we ate so much food! mom was cooking for about a full week. it was way worth it tho. we had chicken gumbo, antipasta salad, my favorite. we also had pulled jerk pork for sandwiches, yams and red rice and beans. YUM! we had a butter pecan cake, with the baby in it, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate homemade frosting, sugar cookies, a cookie bouquet. i think thats it, im probably wrong tho.

all in all i thnk it was the best birthday ive ever had. and now i can drink whenever i want wherever i want! how awesome!

on that note i think ill sign off now.

TTFN! <3

Hawaiiiiii!!!

SO! guess who started looking towards her next vacaaaationnn!!! :) ME!

I went to borders today and was looking through all of the travel section. im in between 2 vaca's right now but im more looking at hawaii. how exciting right? im really planning on doing a lot of beachside things. staying somewhere beachside, hanging beachside, tanning beachside... ya know! :) i cant decide when i want to go tho! i still need to figure out whats the best time of year. im thinking more summer cuz that way i can find someone to come with. as much as u'd like to think people would jump at the offer, a lot of my friends and family "can't afford it." thats what the tell me at least! BAH! :/

Has anyone ever been to Hawaii? or any of the islands?

i went to jamaica years ago, it was gorgeous! i loved it, but it came and went so fast and i think that was the last vacation i was on! :(

time to do it again!!

Volver!!

Hola! Hola! Hola! Hola!

It has been FOREVER! has it not?

WELL! I had to bring my computer in to the Geek Squad. UGH! It kept over-heating and being a pain and just had to do it! (SO FAR SO GOOD)

Currently my life is crazy! Work is INSANE, even on Xmas Eve. Which I'm fine with considering we'll be dead after Christmas... oh well! Take as much as you can, right?

I finished all of my Christmas shopping very early this year and I am super happy to say that. All I have to do is wrap a few here there and be done! :) WHOOOOOO!!!

Lately, to pass my time of course, I've been listening to a lot of music. I'm very obsessed with spanish music right now. Meaning everyone is speaking spanish. the correct genre is probably Latina Musica. I've been listening to lots of my old music and have fallen back in love!

I am also watching the movie Volver right now. As we speak! haha! Its with Penelope Cruz and it's in all spanish. Spanish spanish too. Penelope is from Spain originally and is a fantastic actress! Just love her! Can't WAIT to see Nine!

Well, Im so tired and have to get soome sleep! big day ahead of me tomorrow!
