So yeah, I’m the Sister who not only will be doing the half marathon with the rest of my Team Shrinking Jeans teammates this weekend (woot woot!), but I am the craziest of all for deciding to bring my entire family with me. The crazy part isn’t that we’ll be together, no the crazy part is [...]
Ahhhhh yes. Summertime is upon us. Which can only mean one thing. Swimsuit time Will I ever wear a bikini again? Probably not since the last time I wore one was over 15 years, before 3 pregnancies, and a *few* pounds less. I’m still searching for that miracle bathing suit that lifts the “girls”, minimizes [...]
Isn’t this a pretty picture?! I took it : ). Simple, easy, and delicious. What more could you want from a recipe? I found it difficult to control myself at one serving- that is how yummy this one is. Consider yourself forewarned! Makeover Nacho Beef Bake (online here) Ingredients 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% [...]

First confession: It’s past midnight and I just remembered to write this. Second confession: I just ate a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Third Confession: I missed my long weekend run and I’m having total anxiety over missing it – not only because it puts me behind in training, but also. running is what keeps me sane. [...]
Happy Friday, sisters and a few dudes! Have you done this week’s Monday Project? (Even if you didn’t, don’t go away! You can at least see mine! And maybe you’ll be inspired to do next week’s!) Today we’re linking up and telling the story of our fears and how we conquered something within ourselves this [...]

It’s Spring. Can I get a HECK YES?! [raises roof] Time to get outdoors. Hit the trail. Get some fresh air. Eat some trail mix. Be one with the wilderness (okay, I got a little carried away). Yep – it’s hiking season! If you’ve never been much of a hiker, I’ve got to tell you, [...]
Do you ever wish that you could go back in time and change your actions or behaviors, or lack thereof? Do you ever think- if I had only known that when I began xxyyzz, then I would be in a much better place/would have made better decisions/wouldn’t feel lik crap now? This Thursday Three is [...]
One of my greatest feats about having lost weight was that I did it without giving up any of my three favorite things: real sugar (not a fakey girl), cheese (Cheese cheese! I just love cheese! Really I doooo!) and bread. Obviously, I have just had a little less of all of it than I [...]

Every time I see the slogan “Knowledge is Power” it reminds me of that cartoon with all those people, was it on after-school specials? Or Saturday mornings back when there were Saturday morning cartoons? I don’t remember. Boy I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Anyway, this week, we’re going to fill our brains with knowledge. Because [...]
I am running a lot. That gives me a lot of time to think about things. Lately, my mind has been gravitating towards “food as fuel” or more specifically, “I wonder what I should be eating for breakfast to make sure my morning run is optimal? Do I even need to eat breakfast?”. During and [...]
