This week’s Monday Project was to take a look at what things would be like if you postponed this little thing called a weightloss journey. If instead of being on it right now, what if you had waited? Stayed complacent? And instead, started in, say, two years from now, what would that be like for you? 
I […]

If you’re new to the Sisterhood, you’re probably asking, what’s a Tworkout?
Well, a Tworkout is a kick ass workout that April and I like to yell at you through your computer, via Twitter. We tweet a last chance tworkout from @shrinkingjeans every Tuesday night, during the Biggest Loser. That’s 8 pm Central Time, and again […]

I see a lot of new faces around here (HURRAH!!!) so to recap what The Monday Project is, each week we have a “project” or a “question” that helps you renew your motivation and/or reflect upon yourself. You have the whole week to do it and we link up our “answers” or “projects” on Fridays. […]

Today is the day.  A new shredding challenge starts here at Shrinking Jeans. Are you excited? I am.
I am excited to be part of this shredding challenge after having to sit the last one out. After all,  being newly pregnant and shredding don’t really go well together. Now 4 1/2 months postpartum (holy cow she is that […]

Because we know […]

We are getting ready to embark on another odyssey of the 30 Day Shred here at the Sisterhood. I do love me some Shred, but I will be sitting this one out, since it’s not really compatible with my herniated disc problems! I thought it would be fun to write about some of my other […]

When my husband was out of town last weekend, I missed a ride with my triathlon group because I didn’t have anyone to watch the kids. (I used the bike trainer in my living room instead.)
And that was just fine with me, it was freakin cold outside and after everyone got done with the ride, […]

The Gruve is a weight loss management system that helps you lose weight by helping you making small, sustainable changes in your daily activities. It does this by creating daily activity “Green Goals”. These goals are not your normal exercise based goals, rather they are NON-exercise based goals. You meet these goals […]

When I was a little girl, I was not a runner. I preferred riding my purple bike with a big white banana seat and handle bar streamers to just about anything. No matter how many times I fell off that bike, I got right back on and kept pedaling. I loved to feel the wind in […]

I have tried a couple different times trying to do the 100 Push Up Challenge, but I always run into a problem around week four. My lower back is KILLING me.  It’s actually my back (and not my arms) that hinder my progress in that endeavor.

I was reminded of the same pain while I was doing […]

What is that you say?  The answer is no, we aren’t skipping a weigh-in just because we are in between challenges! Go ahead, head over to your scale, step on it, peek at your weight, and then come back here and tell us all about it.  Yes, really. Today really is a weigh-in day.

How did you do?  Fantabulous or craptastic?! I was […]

    I’m guilty of it and you probably are too. Most women are, in fact.
    What am I talking about? Putting your own health on the back burner to attend to the needs (and, let’s face it, WANTS) of others. There’s laundry to wash, fold, and put away. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners to prepare. Sporting events, rehearsals, […]
