It’s been a while since I’ve done True Confessions Tuesday and boy am I glad to be doing it today. I seriously need to press the “reset” button this holiday season. In addition to the regular holidays, we have 4 birthdays in the family. Do you know what 4 birthdays in the family means? 4 CAKES. [...]
Ok, so I know Thanksgiving was actually yesterday, but I’m extra thankful for something today — a new start!! Here we are on the Friday side of Thanksgiving. I know for most of us that we’re still kind of at the beginning of a long weekend, but the Thanksgiving holiDAY is actually over and done. [...]
We crowned the winner of our SHRINKVIVOR challenge last week, and we thought it was only right to get her thoughts on the whole losing weight/getting healthy journey! Here’s what Whitney had to say: I wish I could say that my Weight Loss Journey began with a bang, that I woke up one morning with [...]
It’s been a little while since we’ve reviewed an exercise around here but there’s one that I consider one of my most important in everything that I do and that’s the plank. It is so simple it hurts. Literally. You just need your body and some space and you can do them almost anywhere and [...]
I like to think of myself as a relatively fit person. I’ve completed ten races this year, including my first triathlon and three marathons. I exercise (fairly) regularly, I eat (pretty) right, I don’t smoke, I don’t (hardly ever) drink. Do I struggle every day? Yes. But for the most part, I’m healthy. But, [...]
What a ride SHRINKVIVOR has been! What started with hundreds of challengers was reduced to the TOP 7 SHRINKVIVORS last week. The polls are now closed , the results are in, and the tribe (and everyone else who was awesome enough to vote) has spoken!! Sponsors We would like to give a huge shout out [...]

Hello, SHRINKVIVORS! How are you doing? Are you holding your own on your tribe or have you packed up and headed to Exile Island? You know, where all the cool people hang out, like myself! Cough. Fitness Challenge You guessed it, MINUTES! Gasp! Run, bike, jump, ski, you name it. Get that body sweating and [...]
We’ve been having some conversations on Twitter lately about what else but chia!! And yes of the Chia Pet kind. You probably know them from this: But before chia becomes some clay-thingy’s hair, they are seeds. And chia seeds are super healthy and you can eat them. (I will sprinkle photos of Chia Pets throughout this post that [...]

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a publicist touting this book: Stress Less, Weigh Less. Normally I read and then delete 90% of those emails because they don’t apply to this site, or they don’t mesh with my thoughts on leading a healthy lifestyle. But I was intrigued about this book, Stress [...]

Good day, friends! Are we ready to to check in today? It is Wednesday, you know, and that’s what we do on Wednesdays. Things don’t always turn out like we planned, and then sometimes they do but nonetheless, we do it anyway because like its name, it keeps us “in check”. Clever, right? So scamper [...]
