Hey! Guess what!! It’s Wednesday, guys! Time to weigh in. You didn’t think we were going to leave you hanging did you? Just because we are between challenges doesn’t mean it’s time to rest on your laurels! We’ve got three weigh ins before the next official challenge starts so let’s get to work! You’s got to [...]
As I was sitting around thinking about what to write, I realized that I’ve been going through my closet a lot lately. Which made me think of this post I wrote a couple years back. It’s definitely still pertinent, so take another look, if you please. While clothes may not make the woman, they [...]
A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Christie Inge, life coach extraordinaire. Please take a second to go back and read her guest post! As I mentioned then, I’m going to be tackling some of the questions that Christie presents in her getting started guide. The good, the bad, the ugly…I’m going to bare [...]
I am so excited about today’s post, friends. I first heard Christie Inge speak at Fitbloggin’ 2011 in the Ditch the Diet: Eat Intuitively panel. I started following her on Twitter and soon after signed up to start receiving her weekly emails. The way she approaches her relationship with food and her body image really [...]
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 [...]
