Hello from Arkansas! Just a really quick post to pat myself on the back this morning -I made a trip to the hotel gym and did 2.36 miles!! Woo-hoo. And while I was in there working my ass off on the Precor EFX, a grandpa (I think) and two little kids came in. Which is […]

You’ve got to be effing kidding me. Seriously. Why do people continue to open their mouth and insert their foot? In a big way? And this time, in regards to me?
I went to the nail salon today for a much needed pedicure. I haven’t had one since before the baby was born. I didn’t schedule an […]

The Sisterhood of Shrinking Jeans has been in existence now for three months- can you believe it? All of us sisters (and one brother) want to know what YOU THINK of this site. Yes, really, we do.
Is it helpful? Do we have to much “geeky” information? Are there enough “personal” stories or do you want more? What […]

Its been a crappy couple of weeks, both personally and weight-wise. I’ve ended up gaining 3.5 lbs since 1/28 – extremely frustrating, but not surprising since I have eaten a ton of food. In my never ending quest to make good out of bad, I say to myself – “well atleast I know why I […]

Today I feel great! I’ve been counting and logging every single point since Wednesday and it feels empowering to know exactly what I’m consuming!! I’m also more aware of my fruit/vegetable intake as well as my dairy. I’ve always been pretty good with my veggies, but I fail on dairy. I love milk and cheese […]

My mom was in town yesterday and stayed at our place. Her, Justin, and I stayed up pretty late talking and having drinks. After I went to bed, one of my twin boys woke up crying several times and the other one came into my bed before 5 and had a fever and tummy ache. […]

This post is more of a note to myself than anything else. I wanted to write down everything I ate for Thursday. Writing down what goes in my mouth really makes me feel more accountable for my actions. Over time, I think I will see a pattern to my eating habits. I am going to […]

You do not need to do hard-core, strenuous workouts in order to see benefits. Start small, and gradually increase your intensity. If you can’t fit in […]

This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions and I’m guessing the scale would only make it worse. You know what happens with me and emotions? Eating. Yes, even when I’m not hungry I will find something full of fat and sugar to eat. It’s automatic and a bad habit I have been trying to break. […]

After the complete debacle that was my weigh-in this morning, I decided to get my butt in gear and start counting my points. I mean, I actually pay for a Weight Watchers Online subscription and it just sits there, unused, wasting away.
So today I drug out my trusty food scale, my measuring cups and spoons, […]

Hello? Hi! It’s been awhile, I know. I haven’t posted much here at Shrinking Jeans, just because. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I feel like a bit of a failure. I have hit a slump and I seem to be saying the same things over and over again. […]
