I’m here to talk to you today about two very dirty little words. Words that strike fear into the most confident woman. Words that cause cursing to spew from the most innocent of mouths. SWIMSUIT SEASON. (Shudder) Here at the Sisterhood, well, we’re right there with the swimsuit dread. But, you know what? We all […]
It’s Mailbag Monday! So I’m reaching into the bag to answer your questions for the Sisterhood, anything you want to know is fair game! From fitness to personal, we’ll try our best to answer it and even though we are not doctors or certified coaches, I will say that we will absolutely give you our […]
It’s time for the Sister Spotlight! Last week’s spotlighted sister was the lovely Karena. Her pick? Fantastic. Read on… ******* I was gob-smacked when I saw that Kirsten had chosen me for the Sisterhood Spotlight. I felt like I should drop to my knees and genuflect, chanting, “I’m not worthy!” Thank you so much, Kirsten, […]
Updated on 6/19: Giveaway winnner has been chosen! Congratulations to Lacey D., and thanks to all for reading and participating! ****** I’m guilty of it and you probably are too. Most women are, in fact. What am I talking about? Putting your own health on the back burner to attend to the needs (and, let’s […]

Alright, I really feel like my kids are the only kids still in school. Jacob doesn’t get out until tomorrow (thank you 53 inches of snow in February!!), so we are ITCHING to get our summer plans started. SUMMER!!! Summer means so many different things to different people. Maybe it means travel or cookouts or […]
Why, hello there. Seems like with all the hustle-and-bustle of our crazy San Diego 1/2 marathon weekend, we sort of forgot one minor detail this week… WEIGH-IN! It most certainly does NOT have to do with the fact that we drank lots of alcohol and consumed mass quantities of the-best-blue-cheese-nachos-EVER. Nope. That’s not why. So, […]
In case you missed it…you can still do your Tworkout on your own! YAY! 1. 3 mins buttkicks, while holding weights 2. Chair dips, as many as you can do! 3. 3 mins high knees 4. Two 60 second plankholds 5. Alternating side lunges with bicep curls, 50 of them. 6. “Fake” jump rope, 100 […]
Well hello Tuesday, you are back so soon. Time to confess. This could be bad so I’m not gonna stall any longer. Here it goes. (hanging my head) * Ice cream. Do I need to say anymore? I love it. When it gets hot out, I feel the need to eat it. Even worse? Dairy […]
How did you do on the first mini-challenge? Did you get at least 64 ounces of cool, clear water in everyday for 7 days? If you did, you consumed at least 3.5 gallons of water, and your body is thanking you right now. Congratulations!! This week’s mini-challenge is in honor of the 13.1 miles Team […]
Happy Monday, all of you wonderful people! How is everyone this fine June morning? Last week we added a few new additions to our post line-up with Monday being dedicated to your questions. Thank you to everyone who asked questions, and I PROMISE, we’ll get to as many of them as possible, but since a […]
Last week, our Sister Spotlight was Kirsten, and it was her job this week to choose a Sister Spotlight, and she has done a fine job if I say so myself! *** I am so honored that April picked me as the Spotlighted Sister. I know I haven’t been the most active member of late, […]
So, this isn’t going to be the typical Saturday Review. I have this little 1/2 marathon, ahem, TOMORROW and I have been on a quest to find the perfect bottoms to wear for my 3-hour-ish run/walk. I have this awesomely cute skort from BornFit that I adore, only when I run, it rides up my […]
(Psst! Welcome to our new Fridays. We’re now alternating Focus on Fitness and Food Friday! Okay, carry on…) For me, and I’d bet for a lot of you out there, weight loss success or failure is directly linked to portion control. Yes, exercise is most definitely important and necessary, and also the KINDS of foods […]
So yeah, I’m the Sister who not only will be doing the half marathon with the rest of my Team Shrinking Jeans teammates this weekend (woot woot!), but I am the craziest of all for deciding to bring my entire family with me. The crazy part isn’t that we’ll be together, no the crazy part is […]
