Good morning! Have you had your breakfast this morning??
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times. EAT YOUR BREAKFAST! No, it’s not me yelling at you, it’s them. You know the ones. The ones we refer to when saying “They say you should eat your breakfast!” Whoever “they” are. The really smart people who do all those studies who […]

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. […]

My own motivation has been a little lax lately. There’s no real reason…it just happens every once in a while. You’re coasting along and every thing is hunky dory. Suddenly, you realize that you are sitting like a bump on a log, you haven’t exercised in a week and yes you did eat a whole […]

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 […]

Just when you think you’ve got this whole healthy living thing figured out – something jumps out in front of you and trips you up. Your vices. Pitfalls. Weaknesses. We all have them. The trick is figuring out how to own them and show them who’s boss.
My pitfalls? Oh, there are MANY. Believe me. But it’s […]

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, […]

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 […]

- Choose You
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, […]
