I was looking back through old posts and stumbled upon this one that I wrote over a year ago. The gist of the post was this: When I look in the mirror, I like my _______. I wrote about how most times when I look in the mirror, my eyes naturally gravitate to the [...]
Ya’ll will have to bear with me on this one. The holiday season has been difficult for me this year. I’m not sure what exactly it is…..I take that back. I know exactly what it is. I am normally a busy person. Any day. Any year. I am busy. I have three kids. My husband [...]
That smiley pumpkin guy right there is mocking me. Calling out to me: “Have all my candy corn, lady, you know you want to!” And I do. And I have. (Darn it.) But I’m an adult. (Right?) I must exert some sort of self-control or at least exhibit some sort of example for my family and [...]
Let’s have a little fun with today’s Thursday Three. Do you ever wish you had more money in your pocket/in the bank? To spend on things that just might not be in your budget? Yes, I said BUDGET. Ever since I became a SAHM, we have lived by a budget. It took some getting used [...]
I talked a bit about the whole Exposed movement in yesterday’s vlog post and said I would expand on it more today, with a photo (eek!). We spend a lot of time being overly critical and negative towards our bodies. Maybe you don’t like your flabby arms, your sagging tummy, or your thunder thighs. We [...]
To be perfectly honest, I have days where I’m ready to throw up my hands. I’m tired. Tired of working out. Tired of watching my food ALL. THE. TIME. Those days can go a long way to throw a wrench in my quest for a healthy lifestyle. And if I let those days get the [...]
One of the biggest traps we can fall into when it comes to following a weight loss or fitness routine is that we get bogged down by the rules of the plan. We research and read and agonize and then choose a plan only to feel constrained because it’s…well…constraining! This is YOUR weight loss journey. [...]

I know you’re all thinking that I must be blogging right in the middle of that recurring dream about how I actually restored that Latin language right in the middle of my 1oth grade English class. You know, the one where I stand up on my desk, rip my shirt off, and proclaim to the [...]
Tonight I hopped on Twitter for a little inspiration for this post, and let me tell you, our amazing followers didn’t disappoint! Within 5 minutes I had enough great ideas to write the Thursday Three for the next 29 weeks, or so. @Mama_Sass suggested my top 3 ‘ah-ha’ moments. @bacrdimama suggest my top three motivational [...]
As you all know I’m a little new to the whole culture of Shrinking Jeans. Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely excited to be here, but my body’s still adjusting to the estrogen levels. That slight level of discomfort reminds me of when I first started on my weight loss journey 13 months ago. I [...]
I like to watch TV in the evenings, specifically reality TV. The husband rags me about it, asking “what do you get out of this” and “can’t you spend your time exercising your brain in better ways” or some stupid stuff like that. What he doesn’t understand is that I get so much more from [...]
There’s a little girl inside of me. She’s hidden; you can’t see her, but I know she is there. She’s tucked in a far away corner in the back of my mind. She is as much a part of me as my hair is brown or my eyes are green. In fact, she has brown [...]
