First confession: It’s past midnight and I just remembered to write this. Second confession: I just ate a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Third Confession: I missed my long weekend run and I’m having total anxiety over missing it – not only because it puts me behind in training, but also. running is what keeps me sane. […]

We are continuing our celebration of  Sisterhood Running Month with our “How To” series! You can catch Part 1 of the series on running here! We all have certain things we swear by when it comes to running(and trying to run, in my case). A lot of it is just trial and error, finding what […]

As the weather warms up, I inevitably start getting a taste for smoothies. Also, my goals for the 21 Days Challenge are to eat fruits regularly and to have more yogurt during the day. Smoothies definitely fit that bill!  Here are a few recipes that I am dying to try… The Carb-o-nator Smoothie Ingredients: 1 […]

**UPDATE** Winner has been randomly chosen from the comments below! Congrats, Lisa! You may recall a few months ago when a few of us Shrinking Jeans writers traveled to Baltimore for the FitBloggin’ conference. Not only did we get to meet each other (finally!), but we were in the presence of some awesome companies as […]

**UPDATE** As of the last tally, including the ‘hood, this post, and the Facebook event, we are up to over 150 miles!!! That means over 150 people got out there and got active! So amazing! If we added up the total miles of everyone, I have a feeling we would be really close, if not […]

Here in Florida, we went from winter, almost straight to summer. Our spring, which usually lasts until the end of May, ended instead at the end of April. It’s the first week of May and already I’m finding myself running in that oppressive summer heat, which means a humidity of 80-90% and a temperature of 80 degrees and higher. Egad! It’s […]

Most times when I look in the mirror, my eyes automatically gravitate to what I perceive as “wrong” with me.  Big hips.  Mommy muffin top.  Wide ass.  Tired eyes.  Gray hairs. I mean, if I was to list everything that I think is wrong, we might be here all day. Why do we do that?  […]

No excuses, each and every one […]

For those of you that aren’t playing along on twitter, WHY AREN’T YOU?!  Seriously.  Okay, okay, I get it that some of you may not be able to follow along.  So, here’s tonight’s tworkout out for you to do on your own.  I know you will. :o) 1. Run in place for 2 mins, jumping […]

Oh look, it’s Tuesday! You know what that means, right? We confess, we air our dirty laundry and we move on. We move on and don’t let those poor judgments hold us back. Yes, if you had a lot of frappuccinos this week , you too can move on. It just might take a few […]

Remember that Calgon commercial with the slogan, “Calgon, take me away….”? Or better yet, Kramer’s and the Costanza’s “Serenity now”? Spring is all about renewal, rebirth and rejuvenation. It’s about spring cleaning and organizing and fresh starts. Opening up the windows, getting de-winterized and cleaning house. That’s why for this month’s Monday Project, we’re going […]

If there’s on piece of advice I can offer someone who’s thinking about running, it’s find a program and stick to it like glue. No matter how physically fit you are or aren’t, if you’ve never run and you try to do too much to soon, you’ll just end up injured, frustrated, and you’ll likely […]

I’m just going to flat out state that I am hideously bad at food photography. This photograph does not do this dish justice at all. Okay, now that we have the ‘stating the obvious’ out of the way, I’d like to introduce you to my very favorite pasta dish in the entire world. Yes, that’s […]
