Are carbs essential to a diet or not? This was a debate on the Oxygen forum and some of the statements made were pretty funny. This girl insisted that carbs are not necessary at all in a diet. I think people often forget that fruits and vegetables are carbohydrates because why else would you say that carbs are not necessary? The body can survive without carbs but it would not be very healthy. I cannot imagine life without fruits and vegetables. Major lack of fiber and vitamins and minerals. Can we say constipation?
On another note, I am thankful that tomorrow is Friday. I work with this woman who is so negative that she drives me nuts. I couldn't believe it, she was actually complaining that the July 4th holiday falls on a Friday. Her reasoning is that she wants all holidays to be on a Monday? I don't get it, I was thankful that it was on a Friday and not sometime in the middle of the week. I usually stay away from negative people but I am not sure how to with her because she works with me and stops by my office to chat and talks and talks and talks and all I do is half listen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just trying to get caught up on reading your blog...and the thing that stood out the most was...being ready...
Oh do everything Tony says...if you do differently let him know....and you will be ready...Trust me he knows what he is doing!!
One thing I learned from my first comp is "STOP the self doubt" Crap I spent so much time doubting, worrying, instead of just doing, and trusting, especially since you have Tony!! You've done this before and you were fabulous, just imagine how great your going to be with Tony on your side!! Tell yourself "I'm not only going to be ready, but I'm going to win!!" And start believing it pronto!!

Oh and on the negative person...it's tough, I am surrounded by them, I always try and stop them and point out something great about them....it's really hard to be negative when somebody stops you short and says..."You know, I never realized this before, but you have a beautiful smile"...of course it has to be something true...but everyone has something great about them, find it and point it out!! We all love to hear great things about ourselves, and the other bonus...people always remember you for how you made them feel, so you have lots of people who go around remembering you for how awesome you are...win, win!!
sista, negative people SUCK!! can i yell that loud enough???? tony once told me early on with him to ditch some friends who were bringing me down. at first i was like "say what?? ditch my friends??" he was right though. in fact, he was more than right. i found that it was their negative talk and FAKE encouragement that was leading to some of my binging. tony told me exactly how to handle them and i did what he said. my life became one million times better and nothing was the same ever again. yo go, girlfriend!! :) oh yeah, i DITTO what Tina said about our Tony, i luuuvvvv that man :)
