It’s Friday the 13th…. ooooh, scary! I am a total horror-movie buff and I love, love, love the dumb, gory movies {but only if my husband is home to watch them with me}. Anyway, despite the superstition associated with today, it will be a good day! Check out these links and your day will brighten, [...]

Gather ’round Shrinkvivors. Pull up a cozy banana tree leaf near the fire and get ready to hear the results of this week’s Tribal Council. Heather is our Jeff Probst this week, and did an outstanding job, even if she did have to kick some of you off to Exile Island. She’s really amazing (and [...]

Twenty-one days, come and gone. Is it just me or did that just whoosh by? They say it takes twenty one days to make or break habits. How did you do? Did you kick that nighttime snacking? Are you drinking water like it’s going out of style? Maybe you made a commitment to just LOVE [...]

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, [...]

I wanted to write something all clever for April Fools Day. Something to freak y’all out. Cause I wanted to be all, APRIL FOOLS! Bwa ha ha! Best laid plans, right? Oh well, it’s the thought that counts. But, in the spirit of FOOLING, I thought I’d discuss ways I FOOL myself. I have plenty [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Just a side note, I’m not sure how this is FIVE layers…I counted three. Maybe four, if cheese is a layer. Anyhow… I wanted to make something snack-y, because the biggest snack day all year is coming up – SUPER BOWL! Did you know the Super Bowl is the highest chip consumption day of the [...]

*Updated! Check the end of the comments for the winner. Thanks to all who participated! If you’ve been on the Weight Watchers forums, or read Hungry Girl, you’ve more than likely run across a lot of talk about VitaTops. Personally, I’d heard a lot but had never tried Vita Tops or any of the Vitalicious. [...]

Since I was a little kid, I’ve always been negative realistic. In some ways, it serves me well, but largely it sets me up for failure. After all, it’s a defense mechanism. Expect the worst, but hope for the best – and by anticipating bad things, I may not try as hard to meet my [...]

I LOVE Thai Food. Unfortunately, it does not love my muffin top (or maybe loves it too much, it likes to hang out there, set up camp, chill). Thai food can be SUPER unhealthy. Lots of high fat ingredients, lots of frying. Lots of rice. One of my very favorite dishes is green curry. Coconut [...]

Right now, I’m sitting on our patio, overlooking the pool and the ocean. My son has finally passed out for naptime after fighting it for nearly an hour. It’s about 80 and there are about five books staring at me from the deck chair to my right. So, I’m not going to write a whole [...]
