Good morning, Sisterhood! Thea has chosen Heather A. for the spotlight this week and I must say she is very deserving. She and her husband, Ryan, rocked our Olympics last month and were a force to be reckoned with! From Thea: She is an amazing mom of 4 and athlete who is training for her [...]
Happy Sunday! You all read about the superbly awesome JEN last week, right? Well, this week she is choosing to hand the ‘light over to our very own writer, Thea! I can’t say enough about Thea. Not only is she beautiful with legs that are a mile long, she is one feisty mama with an [...]
First off, let me say THANK YOU to April for nominating me last week. It truly is an honor and I was humbled. If you guys knew how much you meant to me…well…then you would know. Lordy, that was bad. Anywho! This week, I get to nominate one of you! It is my pleasure to [...]
If you follow me and Thea on Twitter, I’m sure you’ve noticed tweets such as, “Shut the hell up.” or “Jerk.” being thrown at one another. We mean it in good fun, but what none of you may not realize is just how much I really admire Thea. I remember Thea saying once that she [...]
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. [...]
Hmmmm…was it someone’s grand plan to have me host True Confessions the week of my birthday? : ) Anyhoo, I do have a list of my transgressions ready because, folks? There’s quite a few… That cheeseburger and french fries That BACON cheeseburger and french fries That huge stack of pancakes, butter, eggs, and bacon That [...]
It’s hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. ~Sally Kempton, Esquire, 1970 “You think too much.” That’s what I heard from my husband last night while I was talking to him about my fitness woes. I was telling him that I have all these lofty fitness goals but I condemn myself [...]
Here we are on the cusp of a new decade. Can you believe it? A NEW DECADE! It seems like only yesterday that we were all heading for our underground bunkers convinced the world was going to end once we hit 2000. Personally, I’ve seen a lot of changes in the last ten years. Marriage, [...]
Everyone, get your bullet points ready! It’s True Confessions Monday…the Monday after the end of a challenge. The Monday before a new challenge begins. Do you have anything you need to absolve yourself of? I know I do! Christmas is FOUR DAYS AWAY! That can only mean one thing…baking cookies. Lovely, peanut buttery, copious amounts [...]
Let’s just start off with a bang, shall we? Don’t tell anybody, but I’m a little over my computer right now. I can’t figure out why, but I don’t want to read blogs, write blogs, or comment on blogs. Facebook is making me feel left behind and Twitter…well…I can’t catch up. It’s a conundrum, because [...]
So much of what we all focus on when trying to lose weight are numbers: Pounds lost and gained Calories/Points eaten Inches lost Minutes (Hours?) of exercise Clothes sizes But what about another set of numbers? When’s the last time you had your cholesterol and triglycerides checked? My dad was overweight for most of his [...]
I hate shoes. More accurately, I hate shoe shopping. My feet are big. They are an odd size that isn’t normally carried on store shelves. I also have very narrow heels. When I started taking up running (which was actually several years ago…this is just the latest incarnation), I knew that I needed to get [...]
Another week down in the Shrink For Good Challenge! Are you keeping up with the goals you’ve set for yourself? Are you seeing the results you hoped for? If you are doing the EA Sports Active Challenge, are you keeping up with your workouts? Is the scale headed in the right direction? Go jump on [...]
So, I’m training for this 5k. Again. I already completed one earlier this summer, but I wasn’t very satisfied with my time. So I decided to sign up for another one. This weight loss/exercise thing is so hard (whine). Anyway, I’m training for a 5k on September 12th and I have found myself in a [...]
So, I’m sitting here trying to think of some wonderful post about some wonderful topic that will make you all want to shout from the rooftops that Thea is an amazing writer and is an inspiration to all those who have, will, want to, have thought about or know someone who wants to lose those [...]
