My husband and I are going on a little weekend getaway. I took a day off work to make it just a little longer. We are going to northern Michigan to do some hiking and see the colors. I’m excited. We don’t do this often enough. I just got off the treadmill and was heading upstairs to get the … [Read more…]

It’s October 1st, which means it’s time for  a brand new Sisterhood shots! With fall brings a tendency to be a little bit lazy. We would rather snuggle down in our favorite sweats and sit on the couch, than get up an get a nice workout in. Who wants to head out to the gym or go for a run when it’s … [Read more…]

      Or are you using the latest toys and gadgets? Or are you STILL stuck in the 20th century as far as your fitness tools are concerned? There are so many fitness gadgets and tools available for us today that sometimes we forget how good we have it. I have been thinking … [Read more…]

Good morning Shrinkers! How did your week go?  Are you shrinking away?  Maybe not yet since it is only week 2 but soon enough, you could be.  I love the concept of this challenge- just doing what works and keeping it simple.  Notice I didn’t say *easy* because as we all know, if it was easy, … [Read more…]

And so it begins. The air is getting cooler, the rain is turning to sleet, which turns to snow (at least here in Colorado ALREADY!) and the motivation to go on a run completely fades away. The imminent use of the treadmill is in my near future, and I’m dreading it. I’m the type of person who … [Read more…]

If you’re like me, you’re not very good at doing nothing. I always feel the need to do some sort of exercise daily and often forget the importance of a rest day. This last week in particular, that caught up with me. After a 9 mile hike last Sunday, I proceeded to run 20+ miles before Friday without … [Read more…]

    Hello Fitness Friday enthusiasts!! My favorite time of the day is sunset! This is one of my favorite pictures of sunset I have ever taken and it was taken last November while I was walking the Susan G. Komen 3-Day in San Diego. I was finishing up my first 20 miles (of 60) in San … [Read more…]

Welcome to another edition of Sisterhood Shots! I am not entirely sure how it came to be  September. I’m not ready for summer to be over, I’m not ready for my kids to go back to school, I’m not ready for fall! I can tell you what I am ready for……I’m ready to get Back to Basis, Back to … [Read more…]

When I first read about The Scientific 7-Minute Workout, I scoffed. Out loud. I practically guffawed at the thought of getting in shape/getting healthy with only 7 minutes of exercise per day. Even writing this, I’m using self-control to NOT roll my eyes. …..didn’t work – I rolled them. What … [Read more…]

I’m sitting here eating black licorice and drinking a Bacardi and coke and trying to figure out what to write about. I am back at work. Today was our first full day with kids and I am exhausted. All I want to do is go to bed, but 15 minutes ago, I realized I had a post due. What I came up … [Read more…]

Raise your hand if you have a desk job. *I’m raising mine* Hour after hour of sitting, reading, and typing, or job searching away can be tedious and literally wreak havoc on your body. We are not meant to be sedentary – we are meant to be in motion. If you’re lucky enough to have a fitness … [Read more…]

It’s been all the rage lately. Even here at The Sisterhood. FITNESS TRACKERS.  As promised, I have for you today a review on the one that I purchased and have been using. And I must say, I love it! Back in May, I wrote a post on Fitness Tracker Fury based on a shout out to you all. I was in … [Read more…]

So, a few weeks ago I recounted my hip flexor fail and how my running and half-marathon training plans were temporarily on hold until July. Push that back for at least another month. Friends, this setback has cut into my running and it is unbelievably frustrating. Setbacks at any juncture are … [Read more…]
