He lost an outstanding amount of weight, 9.15% of his total body weight, and his team also WON the challenge! We are so proud of you, Shawn! We love that you weren’t intimidated by a […]

Before I decided to get fit, I would always say, “I would totally work out, if I just had someone to work out with.”  And I would.  If I could find someone else that would work out with me, I would do it.  I didn’t necessarily need the person there to talk or socialize with, […]

I’ve been told more than once recently that I don’t look like a sorority girl, but in fact, in college, I joined a sorority.  At the time, it was something I needed.  I lived at home and was hopelessly shy.  I had a few friends I made in class and one of them pledged.  Through […]

Also, it was the end of Week 2 of ChaLEAN Extreme.  Since first starting Chalean Extreme I realized that my posts could all sound the same, so, I’m just going to keep you updated here and there until I move into the next phase.  Here we go with my confessions: 1.  I finished Week 2 […]

It’s Monday morning and time to “confess” my transgressions from the past week.  The Catholic in me just loves this- HA! And you guys get to play along too-wahoo!  Write a post sharing your confessions and then come back here and leave the link in the comments sections.  That way, I can come visit your blog, […]

So yeah, this chicken recipe is one of […]

Here at the Sisterhood, we LOVE to pick the brains of our Biggest Shrinkers! Our Biggest (female) Shrinker of the Shrinking Days of Summer challenge was Sarah, from Washing Away the Gain and she is wonderful enough to let us in on some of her wisdom and tips! Thanks, Sarah! We are so proud of […]

Let’s rewind a little less than two years ago.  I was just beginning my weight loss journey and was convinced that cardio was the only way to go.  I didn’t need any of that other stuff, right?  Right. (Read with sarcasm.) I came home one day after work in a hurry.  It was 5:20 p.m., […]

**This giveaway has been closed!** All of us at the Sisterhood have had the extreme pleasure of trying out the new EA Sports Active Personal Trainer for the Wii. I have exercised with the EA Sports Active for the last two days and OMG- I am DYING.  But in a good way.  My muscles are […]

I took yesterday as a Rest Day from Chalean Extreme.  I did do a little bit of exercise; wanna know what it is???  I can’t tell you what it is yet.  Stay tuned!!!   ;o) Today, was back to Burn Circuit 2.  In case you’ve forgotten, this is the work out that focuses on biceps and […]

.!. I haven’t posted on my personal blog in a while because frankly, I am struggling right now. The summer has been extremely busy with traveling other places, having LOTS of friends and family visit us and more traveling. It has been extremely difficult to maintain any kind of exercise regimen, let alone eating the […]
