Gather ’round Sisters and Brothers, because I have a very exciting story to tell. You see, it all started about a year ago when a couple of girls with uncomfortably tight jeans decided they wanted to shrink, and encourage other people to shrink, too. Then they recruited a guy, which kinda screwed up the whole […]

Today is the day!! The final weigh-in for the Shrink for Good Challenge, and boy are we excited to find out how everyone did! This challenge has been about so much more than just losing weight.

Since we tend to plan ahead here at the Sisterhood, I knew we were going to start a running challenge early in September. This gave me the opportunity to ask for a few key items for my birthday! An iPod Nano (5th Generation) and Nike+ iPod Sport Kit.
Nike+ iPod Sport Kit ($29.99) is a sensor […]

Dear Sisters, I would like to run a 5k with you. Sincerely, Christie O. The end.
That’s my letter to all of you. Remember how Lisa posted this little thing about a 5k a couple weeks ago? The EA Sports Active people want us to train for a 5k and they’re giving us 4 weeks AND a training plan to do […]

We all know how easy it is to get into a rut, and how many different types of ruts there are. There are diet ruts, exercise ruts, bad attitude ruts, injury ruts, and ‘I’m not losing any weight’ ruts. I think we’ve all been there and done those, right?
The rut I’m currently in is a […]

I am NOT a runner. I don’t have the right shoes. I have too much weight hanging around to be pounding my joints. Running makes me huff and puff. Let’s not forget HOW MUCH IT HURTS ME TO RUN. So yeah, I am NOT a runner.
This is so funny to me now because back in the day, […]

I don’t think I’ve ever done a True Confessions post here at the Sisterhood. Imagine my surprise when I realized it was my turn. Ouch. I wish I could say, aw, I’m a rockstar and I have nothing to confess, but I’m not, and I do.
I haven’t done my EAS 30-Day Challenge all weekend. I’m […]

I have to warn you, Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters, from General Mills, are addicting. Very, very addicting. So much so, I was half-tempted to hide them from my children and husband (because I do that sometimes, especially with all things chocolate, because when I want to indulge a little, I want my indulgence to […]

When we put out the call for new contributors here at the Sisterhood, Rebecca from I Wanna to be a Domestic Goddess, emailed me immediately! We asked her to share her ‘ah-HA! moment with us, and she certainly delivered. It never ceases to amaze me that so many of us have these moments in childhood […]
