What’s Your Theme Song?

There’s a sort of “girl power” feeling in the music these days and I gotta tell ya, I LIKE IT! We try to keep things positive here at the Sisterhood and we try to keep things REAL at the Sisterhood. We all share way too much information on the internet about working out and weight-loss (pee [...]

Spring in2 Action Weigh-In/Week 4

Knock knock.  Anyone there?  It looks like some of us have lost our get up and go.  In my case, my get up and go has gone up in smoke and flames, heavy on the flames.  The last four weeks have been incredibly stressful and busy for me and dare I say it- the first [...]

True Confessions

True Confessions

Ah yes. I love True Confessions SO MUCH. Especially when I’ve been eating like a machine. I know, I’m pregnant, I get to eat a little more than usual. Problem is, I’m eating A LOT more than usual. I am ravenous, all the time. I’m trying to keep it healthy and protein heavy, but I’ve [...]

When the People You Love Are Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Efforts

It’s hard to understand why our friends or family members, who are supposed to want the best for us, might actually try to work against our weight loss efforts. Most of the time, they’re unconscious of it, or at least minimally conscious of their motives. “You only live once!” Do any of you have that [...]

Special K Cereal Bars – New Varieties!

I’m going to be honest, folks. I get up in just enough time to get showered, dressed, and to work. Sitting down to breakfast is not an option. I need something that is healthy, quick, and simple. I was recently given a chance to try the two new varieties of Kellogg’s® Special K® bars. When [...]

New Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls…You CAN Have Appetizers *Review & Giveaway*

Pupus. Starters.  Whatever you call them…I just love appetizers. I’m one of those people who will happily go to a restaurant and make a meal out of appetizers only. The problem is, so many restaurants appetizers are a big, hot, fattening mess (Hello cheese sticks. And calamari. And nachos.) Same goes for appetizers at home. [...]

Calorie Counting: Portion Control or Lunacy?

Since I started running and subsequently doing triathlons after having my bum firmly planted on couch for quite a while post-child, I submerged myself into a sort of culture of healthiness. I write about fitness and blog about fitness and have met great friends here online and through triathlon and running groups, it’s been quite a [...]
