The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

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 [...]

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 [...]

I know alot of us are stay at home moms, and that can only mean one thing! Our kids are out of school for the summer and we have no idea how we’re going to fill the waking hours, muchless find time for us to exercise. Am I right, or am I right?
I’ve come up [...]

**Don’t forget to send me a short bio about yourself with or without a photo by the end of tomorrow please -we have had a great response so far and I know you don’t want to be left out! We want to know a bit more about each and every one of you!
**Remember these:

We need [...]

Just checking in! It’s been awhile since I have posted on my personal blog! I have been down for the count lately! Seems like I have been sick for ages now -took antibiotics last week, but they didn’t work. I guess I need to try something else. Remember my injury mid-Shred? Well, it is still [...]

Who’s ready?! Today is the day! Lace up your sneakers, pop in your DVD, and grab those weights! Once again, we are gearing up for our 30 Day Shred challenge! We LOVE to HATE Jillian Michaels here at The Sisterhood! And you know what? It works!! Did you see Lisa’s results? Check out those buff [...]

I am on Day4 of Level 3 on the 30-Day Shred, and maybe it’s just me, but it seems to be getting harder each day rather than easier. I mean, I’m already sweating and out of breath after the freaking warm up! By the time I hit circuit 2 I’m ready to die, and when [...]

Okay, all of you shredders (you ARE still shredding, aren’t you?) and work out peeps, listen up!  You have the exercising part down pat now, but do you have the nutrition part figured out?
When someone says to me, “oh, you can’t have this cupcake because you’re on a DIET,” or “what diet are you on,”  [...]

So yesterday, I felt like a fumbling, stumbling mess on day 1 of level 2. I should have previewed it like Lisa did! Today was much better because I didn’t feel like I had to stop to keep checking if I was doing to moves right. Here are my thoughts from today!

I was not as [...]

OMG. I just finished my first day in Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred. I am literally dripping with sweat.
First off, I want to ask those of you who are shredding… the last two days I have been having lower back pain and on the left side it goes down into my ass. Not [...]

I finished Day 10 of Shredding earlier today, Phase 1. 
I seem to think about shredding all day long, way before I actually DO IT and long way after it’s DONE.
I am starting Phase 2 of the Shred tomorrow morning.  I have a few thoughts on Phase 1, as well as Phase 2 running incessantly through [...]

1.  I’m still shredding. This should be Day 8.
2. I only did about 1/3 of the program on Friday and skipped Saturday. Now I don’t know what I should do… call today Day 1, Day 6, or Day 8????
3. I did awesome with my eating last week. Until Friday. I was actually down a few [...]

For about ten seconds after my alarm went off at 5:10 this morning, I was wondering who in the world set my alarm to go off that early.  Oh, yeah.  I did.  Why?  Oh, yeah.  I was told yesterday, “everyday is a work out day now.”  To the one who told me that, um, thanks.  [...]

My goodness, I don’t know where too start. Yesterday after the first day, I had so much energy it was insane. I loved it. I also found it necessary to keep moving so my muscles wouldn’t burn. Yes, they were burning like a calf getting branded. Ouch.
So this morning when I got up, I was [...]
