Have you looked at the calendar lately? If you haven’t, then you might be as shocked as I was last night to realize that Valentine’s Day is just FIVE days away! While the big day may be right around the corner, there’s still plenty of time to find that perfect gift for that special someone [...]
Hello everyone and a Happy New Year – still! I hope you are all still focused on your goals for the year ahead. What is it YOU want to do? Set your sights and get after it! I am delighted to have been given this chance to write a guest post for The Sisterhood about [...]
Ladies and Gents, I present…our fitness challenge. Dunn, dunn, dunnnnn. Just kidding. Seriously, I’m kind of in love with this challenge. Why? It’s simple. Back to basics. We’re basing this challenge on recently released CDC guidelines on the amount and type of physical activity recommended for adults. The Challenge It’s simple. We’re asking you [...]
No time. List long. Here’s mine (in no particular order). What’s on yours? Bullet list a must. Make packing list for road trip that starts on Monday. 10 push ups Make muffins for Santa (we learned long ago that he prefers blueberry muffins and carrots to cookies) 10 squats Go to the grocery store for non-perishables 10 lunges [...]
Hellllloooooo Shrinkers! How is every doing during this wonderful holiday season? Are you sticking with your healthy habits or indulging a bit here and there (or everywhere)? It’s time to face the music and the scale for our weekly weigh in. How’d you do this week? As for me, I confess (oh wait, that was [...]
I think that we all know about the ups and downs of weight loss and fitness. The peaks and valleys, so to speak. We have our good days, we have our bad days. We have the days or weeks when we are in a rut and having a hard time finding our way out. It [...]
Goooooooooood morning, Shrinkers! How is everyone doing this fine day? I’m trying my hand at being annoyingly happy because I just received some very tragic news. SNOW IS ON THE WAY! Ugh. I realize this in no way effects anything having to do with weight loss or healthy living other than the fact that it [...]
So it’s almost December. Can you believe it? I know I can’t! Where has this year gone?! How am I going to get all of my shopping done? How will I keep my jeans from getting too tight?! ACK. The questions are overwhelming me. So I’m just going to say it: The 25 Days of [...]
{Giveaway Closed! Congrats to Megan, Megan, and Amber – our winners!} Hey ya’ll, hey ya’ll, hey ya’ll! We’re starting a new challenge today and it’s been gonna be a quickie one, only 5 weeks long. We all walk, all day long. We walk from the bed to the bathroom. We walk all around our kitchen. [...]
I walk onto the court and over to the rack where the balls are kept. I carefully choose which ball that feels best in my hands. I smile as I turn and walk to an open hoop. I love the sound the ball makes when I dribble it. I love the sound of many balls [...]
I was inspired by a posting over at FatCyclist entitled “What I Learned From Riding My Bike” and thought it would make a great topic to start a lessons learned meme. I personally think it’s an important part of everything we do in life to take some time to look back at what we’ve learned [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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! [...]
Good morning Shrinking Bootcampers! Are you ready for another week of awesomeness?! Oh come on! Quit groaning and get to it. You’ll thank me (over and over and over, ha!) once you’re finished. Here’s the workout for Week 5. All three days are the same. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them [...]
