True Confessions

Normally my true confessions posts consist mainly of embarrassing choices regarding food. Today, I’m going a different direction. I’m going to talk about my feelings. Buckle up. I’m pregnant and emotional and its not pretty. In less than three weeks, unless baby decides to come early, I will be a mother of two. And truthfully? [...]

True Confession

First confession? I forgot that I have True Confessions today. Which even though I am pregnant and have the ‘I’m sharing my brain’ excuse, is still pretty pathetic because I write the calendar! How embarrassing for me. Sorry everyone…consider this a late morning/midday surprise! Ahem. Okay, now on to the dirt. I will frame my [...]

Watching from The Sidelines. Kicking Rocks.

This week, I am 21 weeks pregnant. Just past halfway. And can I just say? I’m sitting here, reading everyone’s posts about the Power of One, about their upcoming races and honestly? I’m so jealous. I miss a good hard workout. How free I feel when I’m running. Not walking around in a constant state [...]

True Confessions

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was on an email thread and we started talking about Fitbloggin. Which I had been planning to attend, and had in fact purchased a ticket back in August. But in that email thread, I said that I wouldn’t actually be able to go. Cause I had a ‘conflict’. [...]

Eating for Two? I Think Not…

Eating for Two? I Think Not…

As most of you know, the old adage, “eating for two” isn’t really what you should be doing.  In fact, if you are pregnant with a single child you only need an average of 300 more calories per day.  I learned, the hard way, with my second pregnancy that caving to every craving, and “eating [...]

Baby Fit

Once upon a time… Oops, wrong audience…(Too much toddler-influenced Shrek) Hello there, Sisters!  Wait, wait before you start throwing your rotten tomatoes at me and chanting for your regular sisters, I am not a troll that has hijacked the Shrinking Jeans website.  I am one of you, I am a tried and true real sister.

It may not be shredding but my butt hurts….

While everyone here at the sisterhood is gearing up to start the Shred challenge on Monday, I’ll be sitting this challenge out. Something tells me that being 3 1/2 months pregnant and doing the  30 day shred challenge isn’t a great idea for an out of shape  pregger momma. I couldn’t stand by and not [...]
