The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

There is no better way to meet each other for the first time than piling up in one room! (I should post a picture of the girlie mess that’s in here!) We’re at Fitbloggin’ (me, Christy, April and Lissa) and we’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of Thea!
It’s already been a blast meeting everyone and running in a [...]

I don’t like the treadmill at all. Like, at all. I get really bored and am constantly looking at the clock. When I try to cover up the clock with a towel, it’s not much better. The towel falls off or I have a skewed sense of how much time has passed.
For [...]

Welcome to today’s Sisterhood Bash Happy Hour! What’s the Sisterhood Bash? Go check it out – we’re raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and there are MANY chances to win fabulous prizes…and cash. Yes, cash.
So, it’s hump day – Wednesday – I am so glad we’re halfway through the week.
AND IT’S ST. PATRICK’S [...]

Oh, so many prizes, and we can guarantee there is something to suit just about everyone! We like to do it big at the Sisterhood, [...]

This past week has been a huge struggle for me, workout wise. I’m hurting, and it’s kind of freaking me out. I listened to some of my fellow Sisters last week in one of our Team in Training conference calls, who were having a hell of a week LAST week.
The OHMYLORDIMUSTBEOUTOFMY MIND week.
Pretty sure this [...]

We’ve been playing along with the Monday Project since the first week of January here at the Sisterhood and that means we are in WEEK 10 of Monday Projects! Wow!! We’ve had a lot of awesomeness come out of them, too, with some pretty memorable projects and a lot of soul-searching along the way. There was [...]

Fitness Friday is upon us, and this week I’m going to give you my top fitness picks, and in turn I want you to share yours! There are so many Sisters (and hopefully some brothers lurking out there), with different experiences we can all learn from. So check mine out and then share your top [...]

This week’s Monday Project was to take a look at what things would be like if you postponed this little thing called a weightloss journey. If instead of being on it right now, what if you had waited? Stayed complacent? And instead, started in, say, two years from now, what would that be like for you? 
I [...]

If you’re new to the Sisterhood, you’re probably asking, what’s a Tworkout?
Well, a Tworkout is a kick ass workout that April and I like to yell at you through your computer, via Twitter. We tweet a last chance tworkout from @shrinkingjeans every Tuesday night, during the Biggest Loser. That’s 8 pm Central Time, and again [...]

I see a lot of new faces around here (HURRAH!!!) so to recap what The Monday Project is, each week we have a “project” or a “question” that helps you renew your motivation and/or reflect upon yourself. You have the whole week to do it and we link up our “answers” or “projects” on Fridays. [...]

Today is the day.  A new shredding challenge starts here at Shrinking Jeans. Are you excited? I am.
I am excited to be part of this shredding challenge after having to sit the last one out. After all,  being newly pregnant and shredding don’t really go well together. Now 4 1/2 months postpartum (holy cow she is that [...]

Tis the night before Shredding begins over here,
And I think most of us are afraid we’ll shed tears.
Work out clothes and weights have been set out with care,
In hopes that we’ll seriously shrink our derrieres.
I know that tonight when we’re all snuggled in bed,
We’ll have dreams of Jillian yelling in our heads,
Because we know [...]

We are getting ready to embark on another odyssey of the 30 Day Shred here at the Sisterhood. I do love me some Shred, but I will be sitting this one out, since it’s not really compatible with my herniated disc problems! I thought it would be fun to write about some of my other [...]
