The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

I made this to go with steaks for dinner one night a few weeks ago. SO YUMMY! Even the kids gobbled it up using Baked Tostitos scoops! It’s all good as an appetizer, late night snack, on chicken, by itself…..well, you get the picture. In the famous words of DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba: [...]

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 [...]

When I was a little girl, I was not a runner. I preferred riding my purple bike with a big white banana seat and handle bar streamers to just about anything. No matter how many times I fell off that bike, I got right back on and kept pedaling. I loved to feel the wind in [...]

Did you know that in addition to February being Heart Health Month, it’s also National Chocolate Month? When Hershey’s contacted us about doing a review for their Hershey®’s Dark products, I actually paused before I shouted YES, and then I decided to take one for the team.
You’re welcome.
Are you familiar with Bob Greene and his Best Life [...]

Good morning Sisters and Brothers! How are you this fine Wednesday morning? Can you believe we’re on Week 5 of Rethinking our Shrink? Wow. Time really does fly when you’re having fun!!
So tell me, did you get your homework done last week? Did you read some of the letters our future selves wrote to us? [...]

Yesterday was weigh in day, and we couldn’t help but notice that some of you are really struggling. Struggling with gains, with maintaining, with small losses. Well, this Thursday Three is going to be a gentle reminder, that it’s not always going to turn out exactly the way you want it to.
Losing weight is not [...]

**HEATHER S. is the winner of the gift pack from Progresso! Thanks to everyone who entered!”
Who doesn’t love soup? Especially in the winter, when it’s cold and windy, and maybe even snowy. Soups warm the soul, and can be very good for you, especially when they’re packed with yummy vegetables, and not packed with calories [...]

HOLLA Sisters (and brothers)! Good Weigh-in Wednesday morning! We’re so happy to see you beautiful, shining face (and your bed-head)!
You know the drill!
Run, don’t walk, to your scales right now! Strip down, pee, and jump on. Did the number go down? Did it stay the same? Go up (ugh)? No matter what the number did, [...]

Ahhhhh. Bob Greene. I can see why Oprah loves him so much. He’s cute, has a nice, encouraging voice, doesn’t cuss or yell at you, he’s thorough in his instructions, AND he looks good in a tight t-shirt. Plus, [...]

Have you ever heard of Salba? I know that I hadn’t until a few weeks ago. Salba is an amazing little grain, when added to your everyday foods, can boost your intake of Omega-3s and so many more [...]

Rethink Your Shrink is about changing from the inside. It’s about looking back so that you can move forward by changing the present. We will re-evaluate our eating habits, our patterns, our obstacles and our activity levels. We will take with us what worked in 2009 and dispose of what didn’t.
Good morning SISTERHOOD! It’s weigh-in day, and [...]
