I love to Shred!

Pin itToday was Day5 of the 30 Day Shred here at the Sisterhood, and I have to say it was my best day yet! I can honestly say I loved it today!! Here’s how it all went down. I put my daughter, Mia, down for her morning nap as usual and planned to get Shredding [...]

Fitness Friday

Pin it Back in the fall of ’08, I came across Christie on her blog, Baby Tea Leaves. She was hosting a “Hot for the Holidays” challenge and I decided to participate. Ever since then, I have watched her succeed in goal after goal! Christie is truly an inspiration! I asked Christie if she would [...]

I set a goal…

I set a goal…

Pin itI set a goal to walk 5 times this week on the treadmill and I am failing miserably. Yesterday I read so many blogs that were talking about shredding and how they felt good afterwards. Just reading them pumped me up. Thinking to myself  “this is exactly what I need to read, I need [...]

Day Four of Shredding

Day Four of Shredding

Pin itFor about ten seconds after my alarm went off at 5:10 this morning, I was wondering who in the world set my alarm to go off that early.  Oh, yeah.  I did.  Why?  Oh, yeah.  I was told yesterday, “everyday is a work out day now.”  To the one who told me that, um, [...]

Wednesday Weigh-In, Shrink Into Summer Week 2

Pin itYo, yo, yo Sisters and Brothers! We’ve made it through the second week of the Shrink Into Summer challenge!! How do you feel? Are you shrinking yet?  Are you ready to don a bikini and hit the beach?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Maybe never. So much has been going on this past week here at [...]

Shredding with the Sisterhood – Day 2

Shredding with the Sisterhood – Day 2

Pin itMy goodness, I don’t know where too start. Yesterday after the first day, I had so much energy it was insane. I loved it. I also found it necessary to keep moving so my muscles wouldn’t burn. Yes, they were burning like a calf getting branded. Ouch. So this morning when I got up, [...]

Delicious, Easy AND Low-fat!

Delicious, Easy AND Low-fat!

Pin itOne of the things we all struggle with while trying to lose weight is eating in moderation.  Above that?  Eating in moderation during the holidays.  Holiday get togethers are traditionally centered around food, which pretty much sucks because it’s nearly impossible to turn down my sister’s cheesecake or my Mom’s potato salad, so I’m [...]

A Healthier Easter

A Healthier Easter

Pin itGosh, you gotta love holidays, right? Just when you think you’re in the clear, another one comes along! This time we’re being tempted with candy coated chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies just begging for their ears to be bitten off, and sugar-coated marshmallow birds! Oy! As usual, Weight Watchers hits me with an email yesterday [...]

Apricot-Citrus Stuffed Ham

Apricot-Citrus Stuffed Ham

Pin itI came across this recipe on Weight Watchers Online today and hope to try it this weekend. Ham is a staple around our house for Easter, but as you know, it’s just not that good for you. So anytime I find a recipe to lighten up a favorite, I give it a whirl! If [...]

Mini-Challenge #2 – Drink up, girls and boys!

Mini-Challenge #2 – Drink up, girls and boys!

Pin itSince we started the 30 Day Shred at the Sisterhood today, we think it would be a great idea to have a mini-challenge that revolves around water consumption! If you’re Shredding with us, you should be drinking so much water!! Water will help your muscles release the toxins and keep you from feeling so [...]

I'm On FIRE!

I'm On FIRE!

Pin itLet’s just hope it continues beyond Day One. ;o) I did the usual gym-thing after taking the twins to school this morning. I did 30 minutes on the Precor AMT and 30 minutes on the Precor EFX for a total of 4.6 miles. Not too shabby since I was doing the hill workouts! I [...]

Shred Day One- Please don't hate me

Shred Day One- Please don't hate me

Pin itIt was as not as bad as I thought it was going to be.  I think the expectation in my head far exceeded what the Shred actually was, FOR ME. Don’t get me wrong.  It was hard and I was “heavy beathing” before the first circuit was over.  And push-ups are the hardest exercise [...]
