BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY!* Good Wednesday morning lovely people! How are you? Me? I’m sore as……shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone! After taking THREE weeks off from boot camp, for no good reason other than I just didn’t feel like going, I had family in town, and my trainer was out of town, I returned yesterday. I’m sure […]
Does this look familiar to you? It looks very familiar to me. It has kind of become my new best friend. I’ve got some horn tooting to do, girlfriends. So, listen up because I’m proud of myself this week. Last month, I did the Fab Ab February ab workout. Bari had posted it and I […]
It’s Wednesday weigh-in/check-in day. It’s our first weigh-in without a challenge going on in awhile. It still counts though. You can’t slack off just because it’s not challenge time. Head to the scale and check out what it says. Then come back here and leave us the results in the comments. If you are blogging […]

The Athlete’s Kitchen Copyright: Nancy Clark MS RD CSSD January 2012 Recovering from Hard Exercise: How to Refuel What’s best to eat for recovery after a hard workout? That’s what marathoners, body builders, and fitness exercisers alike repeatedly ask. They read ads for commercial recovery foods that demand a 3 to 1 ratio of carbs […]

This article was first published in December of 2009, and we felt like it deserved another spin, so take it away Heather! I would be willing to bet that if I sat down to dinner with almost any one of you, I’d be finished with my plate before you had a chance to cut your […]
I’m a huge fan of chips. They’re the perfect blend of crunchy and salty that makes my mouth happy happy. I mean, seriously, what’s better than a nice crunchy chip when the snack craving hits? Sadly, my beloved chips have become an infrequent luxury rather than my go-to snack since I began following a healthier […]
Hiddey Ho- it’s the eighth week of our challenge, with only one week to go. Where did the time fly off too? Yes, you have one week to kick it into high gear and to finish strong. How are you doing? Have you been doing your ‘thang and watching the numbers shrink on the scale? […]
There’s an ugly side to working out that no one really wants to talk about. OK, perhaps most people don’t really want to talk about it but we don’t shy away from those things here. It’s a Sisterhood. There’s safety in numbers. Recently, I was thinking about the things I’ve done during my workouts & […]

When I started this whole weight loss thing, I don’t think I had a clear idea of what was in store for me. I had my map, I had my tools, but I didn’t realize what an adventure it would be. I’m not sure if I realized how long it would take. I’m not sure […]

A couple weeks ago, I reviewed the iSafe Bag, or as I like to call it, “the screaming hip pack.” Because it comes complete with an alarm that would make any perpetrator piddle at the sound of it. Or at least run away, anyway, which is the point. I also did a video, (Don’t tell me […]
Have you ever heard the quote, “This time next year, you’ll wish you started today.”? I ran across it earlier this winter and it kind of spoke to me. It got me thinking about all the times that I put off starting something till tomorrow. I am the worst during summer vacation from school. I […]
Good morning, friends! How are you? The weather here in North Dakota has been amazing {like 70s!!}, and I can’t even tell you what it has done for my mood and motivation! I.love.it. How was your week? Did you toot your horn yesterday? I hope so, because everyone deserves an “atta-girl” once in awhile! We’re […]

Good morning, friends! If you are here to listen to all my juicy confessions from the past week, you are going to be sorely disappointed. We are changing things up on Tuesdays from here on out. We are ONLY going to be focusing on the positives! No more negative Nilly. If you have nothing nice […]
I am 57 years young. Most days, I do not feel 57 and I think that is awesome. I’m on that long journey to fitness and weight loss. I try every day to eat right. I try really hard to exercise no less than five days a week. I park farther from the store in […]
I look at others and wonder- *How do they do it all*? Then, I look at myself and wonder- *How do I do it all*? I’m a wife. I’m a mother. I’m a runner, training someone else for our next half marathon. I am a writer for Shrinking Jeans and now, Shrinking Kitchen. I’m building […]
Lots of changes are happening around the Sisterhood, and with change come fresh, new ideas! We are working hard behind the scenes to breathe some new life into this special place. Because each and every one YOU mean the world to us, and without YOU we wouldn’t even be here (well, we would, but we’d […]
We’ve all been there. You know, those days and nights filled with unneeded stresses and sighs and worrying. Sometimes, you just have to sit down and evaluate your life. Your friendships, your relationships, your time and finances… What is causing you unnecessary stress and worry? Is it worth it? Is it time to move on […]
I’m getting pretty disgusted with our food supply right now in general, between the preservatives and the dyes and the unnatural crap. You may or may not have caught this in the news this past week, but it appears there will be a new ingredient in our kids’ school lunches and it’s called “pink slime“. […]
Alright. So I’ve had one of those weekends that I just went batshit crazy and ate everything I could get my hands on. Thankfully, those don’t happen too often anymore. When they do, however, I have a few things that help me recover from the debauchery. Elastic waist pants – Whether it be yoga pants, […]
So yeah, it’s Daylight Savings tonight. Spring forward, peeps. I can’t tell you how many times we were late to Sunday School when I was a kid because of Daylight Savings. Of course, we wouldn’t realize we were late until we pulled the burgundy minivan into the full parking lot and entered the empty hallways […]
