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. Stop and think about it. Why would we celebrate watching other people being fit by stuffing crap into [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m all about external motivation. I’m always looking for quotes or pictures or shirts or ANYTHING that will give me that little extra boost to (hopefully) get me off my arse to work out. Or help me through that choice between fries or a side salad. I recently came across a passage in a book [...]

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 [...]

UPDATED::Congratulations to our two winners, Kirsten and Jen! I’ll be in touch, ladies! When it comes to working out, I would have to say that I’m more of a cardio person. I’m more likely to run, swim, or bike than I am to lift a weight. Honestly, I see strength training as a necessary evil. [...]

I like to think of myself as a relatively fit person. I’ve completed ten races this year, including my first triathlon and three marathons. I exercise (fairly) regularly, I eat (pretty) right, I don’t smoke, I don’t (hardly ever) drink. Do I struggle every day? Yes. But for the most part, I’m healthy. But, [...]

IT’S FALL! IT’S FALL! IT’S FALL! IT’S FALL! Now that I got that out of my system, can you tell that I’m excited that it’s FINALLY fall? The ice cream binging days are over. Oh yes, they are! Only to be replaced by fall comfort food. Sigh. My husband and son went to our local [...]

Back in February, I wrote a little diddy about honey and my new found love for it. Well, guess what! (Hint: If you read the title, you know what I’m about to tell you…) SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL HONEY MONTH! We already talked last time about simple ways to use honey in your diet: add it [...]

Now that the temperatures are cooling down, I love to turn to my crockpot to make nice big batches of chili. Heck, who am I kidding? I like my crockpot and chili the whole year ’round! I love, love, LOVE the crockpot because you can usually just dump and dash. That’s my kind of cooking! [...]

Sometimes, when you are trying something new, it’s easy to get bogged down in the details. The new plan becomes overwhelming and you feel like a failure if you are not able to hit each of the goals that the new plan sets out for you. Somewhere along the line, you lose sight of your [...]

All those ready for school to be back in session so that you can get back to your normally scheduled healthy living, please raise your hand! I have not done all that great in the self-control department this summer. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that I recorded a gain the first week of summer [...]
