I love summer! I love all the wonderful cookouts and picnics that take place throughout the season. I also love the abundance of fresh fruits & veggies that are available. So, what better thing to do than combine the two into one?! This salad is one of my own concoctions and I love taking it [...]
Deep in the jungle of that room that a lot of us have where we throw things when all of a sudden company is coming (We all have that room, right? No? OK, then.), I was on a mission to find a very rare species of exercise machine. This exercise machine is so rare, that [...]
So it’s the Friday before my first Triathlon and I’m finally able to breath for a few hours. I’ve been working crazy 70~ hour weeks for the past 4 weeks and I’ve completely neglected my blog and my sisters here in the hood … sorry ladies :( I’ll admit now that my workouts haven’t been [...]
Good afternoon! Results are coming your way, can you STAND the suspense? But, first, I have an announcement. I have updated the TEAM ROSTER page with the most current information for the teams. Members who haven’t checked-in for 4 or more weeks have been de-activated and their names will appear gray. Their numbers will not [...]
Welcome to the first Throwback Thursday post. This is the day of the week when we will revisit some of our favorite posts. The posts that deserve a second look. The posts that stayed with us or the ones that inspired us. My throwback is about my journey with the Sisterhood. It all began in [...]
Good morning Shrinkers! Can you believe we’ve made it 7 weeks into this challenge already? We’re over half-way there! Are you half-way to your goals yet, or is it time to kick it into SERIOUS gear? I know I need to kick it up several notches. Sheesh! No worries, though, because I know we can [...]
Once again it is Tuesday. It is also HOT out. (I live in Virginia.) It’s days like today that make me wish I had a pool in my yard. Anyone want to invite me over? We could cook out, have a few cold beverages…where was I? Oh yes! OK, so. Even though it’s HOT out, there [...]
Well, let’s see. Today is Tuesday and I have lots and lots to confess, but I will try to stay on task. During the last 4 weeks, I have traveled FOUR times. That means I have eaten four times as bad as one trip out of town. My goodness. I have had the vacation mindset [...]
Today is a very, very, very special day! It’s Thea’s birthday, and she is so special to all of us here at the Sisterhood!! Ahhh, there are so many wonderful sides of Thea.

Holy cow. I totally forgot to post the Shrinking Bootcamp yesterday and NO ONE even said a word. What’s up with that? Does that mean y’all were breathing a collective sigh of relief at my forgetfulness? Or have y’all fallen off the Bootcamp Wagon and gone astray? Tell me!! Here is this week’s bootcamp routine! [...]

Hail to Martha Stewart! She found me a Pina Colada I don’t have to feel bad about and I tried it out in the most perfect place possible: beach vacation. I read it this week in Martha Stewart Living Magazine which I didn’t know I subscribe to but apparently I do. (Now every day can [...]
UPDATE — I’d likely to congratulate Adah and Brookefor being the two winners. Congratulations, ladies!! If I could target any one part of my body to tone up overnight, it would definitely be my abs and core. But honestly, I cannot stand resistance work. I don’t do it nearly often enough, and the idea of [...]
