Confession is good for the soul, folks, so I’m confessing. My failures this week have been with food. They haven’t been awful. They have been a big lack of self control. Three nights this week, I have had a bowl of ice cream. Twice it was in the middle of the night. How stupid is [...]
OK Sisters, this one will be quick. I am not feeling very wordy today : ). Sundays here at Shrinking Jeans were the days we posted recipes and a weekly menu plan. However, that is all changing with the new addition of Shrinking Kitchen. If you read regularly, then you already saw the post announcing [...]
Tomorrow is the big day!! Can you believe it! This one team is playing this other team and we are going to celebrate by stuffing as much food into our face as humanly possible!! HURRAH!! No, wait.

Happy Groundhog Day! Today’s the day we learn our (possible) collective fate, the prediction from a tiny little furry creature in a hole: will we get 6 more weeks of the treadmill or bike trainer? (Yes). You may be wondering what on earth fitness and Groundhog Day might have in common but I assure you [...]

Good morning, friends! Welcome to this week’s installment of True Confessions, the post where you can confess all of your unhealthy sins from the previous week. Once you confess it, you forget about it, and start fresh. I’ll get us started…. We’ll do this list style: 1. I had two desserts in one meal [...]
I was spending an hour or two on my latest addiction, Pinterest the other night. Raise your hand if you are hooked too. The last thing I needed was something else to keep me on the computer, but boy am I hooked. I love that site. I can’t believe how many new recipe sites I [...]
…. it’s for me! The first time I ever did yoga was years ago and I had a cold. Not ideal when the class I walked into was super-quiet with n’er a creature stirring. My sneezing, coughing and general phlemgy loudness made me so nervous because I know that I was disruptive to the peacefulness [...]
If there is one truth that cannot be denied, it’s this: I absolutely, 100%, without a doubt cannot STAND Winter. At all. The extra layers, the wind, the dry skin, the piles of melting snow left by little boots in the middle of my kitchen floor that I step in every.single.time! It seriously makes me [...]
