Today, I feel like I need to talk about water. Partly for you all, and partly as a reminder for me. I have to admit, I am pretty much the worst at remembering to drink water. And when I do, I don’t like it. My normal scenario is basically realizing that I haven’t had any [...]
So rumor has it, there’s a pretty darn crazy heat wave gripping many parts of the U.S. Not that I’d know from experience, cause it’s not even breaking 70 here. Seriously. A guy actually added up the minutes over 80 degrees we’ve had this year, and it’s 78 minutes. Yes folks, Seattle has had 78 [...]
“Reality can be beaten with enough imagination.” –Anonymous A lot of times, the biggest obstacle we have in weight loss is our own thinking…or stinkin’ thinkin’, to be more precise.

So. I totally forgot that I was up for the post today. So I’m racking my brain trying to come up with an idea. Then I remembered that Roni (blogger extraordinaire and organizer of Fitbloggin’) did a post called The ABC’s of Me. Perfect! I’ll do an ABC’s of Weight Loss post. But crap. Now [...]
Every once in a long while, I have a really good week. Fortunately, this week was one of those weeks. Unfortunately, I have True Confessions this week, LOL. So. What to do?

Start drinking extra water right now. Yes, now. Right this very minute in fact. Go fill up and I’ll be here when you get back. Wake up on Thursday morning and get out of the house. First thing! You’ve got to get up early to get the turkey in the oven anyway, so set that [...]
I have been trying really, REALLY hard to make good choices lately. I’m really trying to make the connection between what I put in my mouth and how I feel during the day or during workouts. But, come on. Everyone needs to indulge once in a while. Or five times in a while. Whatever. Dairy [...]

How many times have you heard, “DON’T DRINK YOUR CALORIES!”? Many, many, many times, right? Right. And how many times have you heard that artificial sweeteners are bad, bad, bad for you? Many times, right? (That’s true, you know. And a whole other post.) Well, what if I told you, I have found a 0 [...]
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 [...]
