It’s hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head.  ~Sally Kempton, Esquire, 1970 “You think too much.” That’s what I heard from my husband last night while I was talking to him about my fitness woes.  I was telling him that I have all these lofty fitness goals but I condemn myself […]

It’s here! It’s here! (And yes, I’ve heard you all calling it “Homework” behind my back! ) OK, fine, I guess it is. But I really want us to think of this as yet another tool to arm ourselves in our constant battle with “Can I?” Because yes we can! I love punctuation because it […]

We’re having some fun on this sort of potpourri Thursday Three . (Look at that, I rhymed!) Today I give you three fun facts/slash/embarrassing moments. 1. I would like to state for the record that for week one of our Rethink Your Shrink challenge, we as a group lost about 75 pounds! Wait. I’m going […]

Rethink Your Shrink is about changing from the inside. It’s about looking back so that you can move forward by changing the present. We will re-evaluate our eating habits, our patterns, our obstacles and our activity levels. We will take with us what worked in 2009 and dispose of what didn’t. Good morning SISTERHOOD! It’s weigh-in day, […]

Welcome to the first Monday Project of the Rethink Your Shrink challenge: Project “Me”! This week, we’re going to take a look back and ask ourselves some questions, about ourselves.

I LOVE Thai Food. Unfortunately, it does not love my muffin top (or maybe loves it too much, it likes to hang out there, set up camp, chill). Thai food can be SUPER unhealthy. Lots of high fat ingredients, lots of frying. Lots of rice. One of my very favorite dishes is green curry. Coconut […]
