Is it just me or is there an awful lot of whining going on over at Twitter? Day after day after day. It got so bad one day, I actually thought about deleting my Twitter account. Of course, I thought about the Tworkout and decided against that idea. I laid low for a couple of [...]
I realized a month or so ago that I really wasn’t giving my all to my workouts. I was doing them, but was I really “doing” them? I was getting sweaty, but when I really thought about it, I knew I could do more. I resolved to change what I was doing. I was going [...]
I am a runner. I also like to spin, lift weights and Zumba! But in my heart, I am a runner. However, there are things in running that I avoid because it hurts, it’s out of my comfort zone, it makes me breathe harder blah blah blah. Mainly speedwork and running hills. Yeah, I could [...]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! Raise your hand if you did a turkey trot yesterday! I did! I woke up at 5 a.m. to run with 16-thousand of my favorite friends in the world. Yes, in my town, more than 16-THOUSAND people got up to run the turkey trot. And I must [...]
Now that the weather is cooling off, I’m finding that I do NOT want to go outside for runs. Or bikes. Or to get in the car to go to the gym. I don’t wanna, and you can’t make me. So what do you do? What do you do when it’s too cold or too [...]
I like to run. Well, it’s more like wogging (walk+jogging) but whatevs. I get the job (ie mileage) done. Prior to October 2009, I was vehemently OPPOSED to running. I mean, it hurt, I sweated a lot, my breathing sucked, and did I mention that it hurt? Why would I want to willingly and knowingly [...]
UPDATE! Winner has been chosen, check the comments! Have you heard of International Fitness Day? Yeah, neither had I, till a few weeks ago. So, you may be asking, what exactly is International Fitness Day? Settle in, I’m going to tell you! International Fitness Day is a worldwide day to celebrate being healthy and fit [...]
A couple of weekends ago, I had a breakthrough run. I really, really needed this breakthrough because I had a long string of disappointing workouts leading up to it and I was beginning to doubt and question myself and I was ready to quit. My breakthrough was a sub-30 minute 5k run during a triathlon!!! [...]
Back in the day, like WAAAAYYYYYY back in the day, prior to marriage and during my mid-20′s, I considered myself a Latin dancing superstar not really- in my head I danced way better than I did in real life. Regardless, my girlfriends and I would regularly visit our favorite salsa dancing club and tear up [...]
Psssst…can I tell you a secret? I’m not a big fan of working out. (ducks the rotten tomatoes) I’ve never really been a big fan of working out. I know that I have to. And I know that it’s good for me. But I don’t usually get that sense that endorphins are rushing through my body [...]
I was kind of resistant to getting my iPhone. I was already having trouble controlling my online time on my computer and I was afraid that having the iPhone would just become a huge Blackhole of Time. I promised myself that I would only get apps that truly helped me be more productive. I didn’t [...]
A couple of months ago, I landed in a fitness rut. I was running, running, running. And the weight? Not budging. Muffin top? It was still there. I knew I was working hard, but nothing was happening. I felt like I was in a hamster wheel. One night at the gym, I was going whole [...]

I remember when I first embarked on my 50 pound journey. I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to start. I began to accept my “fat” self as normal and the person that I was destined to be. I had a 2 year old and a 6 month old and it was spring. Which also [...]
Some of you may remember that way back when Team Shrinking Jeans was formed, that I was a part of it. Also, if you know me at all, then you know that there is no part of running that I like. Every single minute feels like pure torture to me, but I decided to suck [...]
