The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans

Picture it, Sicily 1942-oh sorry, way too many late night Golden Girls episodes lately.  Where was I?  Oh yes, picture it:
I go to the gym, pick a machine, turn on my ipod, choose my playlist, put my ear buds in, hit play, stow ipod away in my work out pants pocket, begin work out.  Thirty [...]

If you’re new to the Sisterhood, you’re probably asking, what’s a Tworkout?
Well, a Tworkout is a kick ass workout that April and I like to yell at you through your computer, via Twitter. We tweet a last chance tworkout from @shrinkingjeans every Tuesday night, during the Biggest Loser. That’s 8 pm Central Time, and again [...]

It’s Tuesday, and we all know what that means!  Yep.  It’s True Confessions Tuesday.  Did you have a rough week or weekend?  Did you indulge in something you shouldn’t have?  Well have no fear, you can confess right now, get rid of it, throw it away, and start over!
Here are mine True Confessions for this [...]

What you say?  But the Biggest Loser isn’t on tonight, so that means no tworkout right?? WRONG.
The Olympics are on, and is it not the 2010 Shrinking Jeans Olympics??  So, get your workout gear on and join us at 8 p.m. Central!  And if you can’t join us on Twitter, follow the exercises below on [...]

Good morning all!  It’s Tuesday and ya’ll know what that means.  Time to confess!  Did you eat tons of Valentine’s Day candy?!  Let us know!
Here are mine!
1.  It’s been a long time since I’ve confessed, so that’s a confession in itself, no?
2.  Being the single gal that I am, I spent Valentine’s Day right here [...]

By show of hands (and I want them raised high because I can see you.  Yes I can.), how many of you are afraid to fail?  How many of you that are afraid to fail, then avoid things BECAUSE you are afraid you’ll fail?  Or give yourself a hard time for failing?
It really hurts my [...]

Hello, my peeps.
It’s Tuesday. That day. The day we divulge our deepest, darkest food and exercise (or whatever) secrets. On the internet.
Nothing like throwing our confessions out there to the universe to purge our consciences…
So, I have to admit that this week I’ve been quite irritable and faced a lot of, for lack of a [...]

Last weekend, while hanging out with Melissa in Denver, she looked at me and said that while we were at her hubby’s aunt’s house for football, there would be a yogurt dip there for dipping chips and veggies into.  This was something they all loved and she wasn’t sure that I would love it too, [...]

So, show of hands…who’s been joining us for our Last Chance Tworkouts on Twitter every Tuesday during the Biggest Loser??  Come on, I want to see those hands!!!
Now, who has seen our tworkouts and doesn’t watch the Biggest Loser, but wishes they could join in anyway?  Raise those hands high people!!
Here’s the thing…every Tuesday we [...]

**Congratulations to our winners: Audrey, Becca, and Tobey!! It’s time to get your dance on, girls!**

Have you ever watched one of those dancing shows and wished you could do those dances?  Or do you just like to shake your bootay in general?  (Some of you may or may or may not like to dance in [...]

It’s Tuesday, and ya’ll know what that means!  It’s time to confess!  How’d you do over this New Year’s weekend? Did you party hard?  Did you stick to the veggie tray?  It’s time to get it all out, so let’s hear it!
1.  I did really good, food-wise at my friend’s New Year’s Eve party…except for [...]

So, see?  We’ve added some [...]

I know what you’re saying….WHAT?!?!  A weigh-in the week of Christmas?!  Can’t we have a week off?
No.
Look, I know that we are ALL busy making sure everything is in order for when you get that visit from Santa, I have been, too!  (Yes, I still believe in Santa.  Don’t judge.)  But even though we’re all [...]

Sort of.
I mentioned in my previous post that whenever there is a party or a food day at work, people ask me to bring spinach dip.  I posted the link to my blog on the other post, but you may not have seen it, so I thought I’d share here.  The recipe isn’t anything fancy.  [...]
