The Monday Project Link-Up: Holy 1,000th Post at the Sisterhood, Batman!

[ 16 ] 04/16/2010 | christieo

Besides being Friday which is really pretty cool on its own, do you know what today is??

This post is the official 1,000th post of the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans! 1,000 posts!!!

We’ve written 1,000 posts!

Hurrahhhh!!!!!

And guess what? We’re gonna keep writing. We’re gonna get to 2,000 and then 3,000 and then one million bazillion and meanwhile we’re going to keep talking your ear off and nagging asking you (politely) to continually surrender yourself to fits of blood sweat and tears (well, only because we are and really misery just loves company! And besides, don’t lie, you like it. Secretly. We do too.)

So, let’s sum it up: 1,000 posts and hundreds of pounds lost here at the Sisterhood, hundreds (perhaps thousands) of miles logged, thousands (maybe millions?) of calories logged, there is a lot going on here and we’re just getting started! We do hope you’ll stick around forevermore. Because let’s be honest, it’s so much funner (my favorite non-word word) to lose weight/get healthy in groups. Safety in numbers as I always say!

Anyway, what a day! What a milestone!

I need a moment. I’m verclempt. I’ll give you a topic. Fad Diet is neither Fad nor Diet. Discuss.

OK, I’m back. Now to the real purpose of this post which is the Monday Project Link-up. Earlier this week, we put it out there to try something new within the family, friends, group, self, whatever you like — perhaps switching from one food to another, introducing a new food to the family, making a food project with the kids, whatever you like. Because what we do actually influences other people! Especially the people who reside and/or visit within our own four walls, those eyes are watching and they’re doing what you’re doing! It’s true!

So how did you do? What did you do? Link up your posts (and we would love to see pictures!) and go around and see what everyone else did! (I am sure they’d love your comments — don’t we all???!!)

Have a wonderful day, sisters! (And dudes!) And come back Monday for the next project!

WOW!! 1000 posts is AWESOME!! I'm so glad you are here and not going anywhere! I need ya'll so bad.
Although I am crazy busy right now I at least read every night. Don't get to follow through on assignments much right now, but at least I am staying up to date with what is going on…
Something new…um, didn't try or do anything new this week. Just did what I could to stay afloat…oh wait I bought a new motor for my truck…that's something new. Hope I never have to do that one again. lol!!!

As I said before thanks for being here!! I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am without ya'll and your support!

We planted new things in our vegetable garden!! We're trying blueberries and strawberries for the first time, and also watermelon, spring mix lettuce and spinach! Hopefully in about 45 days, we'll have an AWESOME harvest!!

Congratulations on 1000 posts. That is awesome. This is the first Monday Project that I have missed. I have a really good reason though. We had a grandson this week and I've been really busy with him and his sisters. I do promise to try to get it in this week.

We didn't do anything food related – I live in a home with very picky eaters BUT tonight I am going to make banana s'mores. A serving a fruit baked and filled with graham cracker, chocolate chips and marshmallow. For a special treat – big on taste, low on cals. I gotta start somewhere! Instead of food related, I got my entire family together and we climbed up Stone Mountain- it is 1.3 miles straight up. My three year old did it! His father carried him down but we got out there.

Today I took my son for a hike on a trail close to our home. I am getting my family active, together – taking it to the streets instead of just staying indoors.

Finally, I start training for my first 5K tomorrow. Exciting! Actually, it is not my first, my first race was a 10k. Yeah, I went straight for a women's mini-marathon for my first race, but that was 9 years ago. And the last race I ran was another 10k back in 2005 so it has been almost 5 years since I've done a race. I'll call it my first 5K this time around! LOL

I failed at this week's challenge, too. Didn't try anything new. Spent the weekend at a friend's after my step-dad's memorial service. She's vegan and we talked a lot about the lifestyle choices she's made. I'm really proud of her for sticking with it. I had a lot of fun showing her the shrinking jeans site and all the cool apps I'm using now for food and fitness. Introduced her to my blog, too, and the vlog I did a ways back for one of our challenges. She's very interested in the social networking aspect of the sisterhood. Maybe we'll see her on here someday :)

Woohoo! That's so awesome you're back in training again girl! There's nothing like crossing a finish line, I'm sure you know that! It's just so symbolic. Congrats on all the healthy changes in your family, that's really really wonderful. And banana smores! (If I liked bananas!) that'd be yum! LOL

We'd love to have her!!! (I loved your vlog so much! You better do more!)

I'm sending you all the hugs in the world, Bari, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.
