The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

 
I’m getting a little misty-eyed over here! Rethink Your Shrink is coming to an end! Are you ready? Did you rethink? And moreover, did you shrink?
What happened over the past 7 weeks? Did you move more? Did you find victories? Did you find non-scale victories? Did you do something you’ve never done before? (And [...]

By show of hands (and I want them raised high because I can see you.  Yes I can.), how many of you are afraid to fail?  How many of you that are afraid to fail, then avoid things BECAUSE you are afraid you’ll fail?  Or give yourself a hard time for failing?
It really hurts my [...]

I’m no cook. I try, but really I’m more of a Preparer. Or a Combiner.
Yeah. Combiner. That’s what I am. I like to find recipes with the fewest number of ingredients so that I have less of a chance to mess it up.
Which is why this is one of my favorite [...]

I love GU. Pronounced “goo.”

GU is an energy gel. What is this energy gel I speak of? And who should be eating these? And why? Do we really need these in our lives?
Yes. But not all the time. And it depends on what you’re doing. There are times to use them and times when you should not [...]

Are you a beginner runner?  Expert runner?  Never ran before but thinking about it?
I started running as a form of exercise in October 2009 because of The Sisterhood.  You see, I never had any desire to run (running makes me sore and I breathe heavy and I sweat A LOT- ewwww) and I was highly [...]

Good morning sisters (and brothers!)
This week was an interesting one, right? We got to step a little bit more outside our comfort zones, physically, and do something different. At least I hope we did! Did we? It’s a little scary isn’t it? How do you feel today? Fearless??
So often I find myself on the outside of [...]

This post is inspired by the oodles of time I have been spending at the gym this week, but it may or may not be based on my actual experiences. No feelings were hurt in this process.
Things I would rather you not do at the gym:
1.  Could you please refrain from heading to the gym [...]

Good morning Sisters and Brothers! How are you this fine Wednesday morning? Can you believe we’re on Week 5 of Rethinking our Shrink? Wow. Time really does fly when you’re having fun!!

Hello, my peeps.
It’s Tuesday. That day. The day we divulge our deepest, darkest food and exercise (or whatever) secrets. On the internet.
Nothing like throwing our confessions out there to the universe to purge our consciences…
So, I have to admit that this week I’ve been quite irritable and faced a lot of, for lack of a [...]

 
Good afternoon, sisters!! Well, we’re getting pretty far down the line in this challenge, I can’t believe we have just three weigh-ins left! And can you believe that it’s already February? How did that happen?
We have been in this challenge since December (almost five weeks!!) and by now you’ve had a chance to either get in [...]

Are you aware that heart disease is the number one killer of women in America? Cardiovascular disease includes diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Most heart and blood vessel problems slowly build up over a long period of time [...]

Last weekend, while hanging out with Melissa in Denver, she looked at me and said that while we were at her hubby’s aunt’s house for football, there would be a yogurt dip there for dipping chips and veggies into.  This was something they all loved and she wasn’t sure that I would love it too, [...]

I love breakfast foods. Like, a lot. I think if given the opportunity, I would eat breakfast foods every single meal of the day.
What can I say? I’m a Carbs Girl!
That’s why I [...]
