After Baby #2, I joined a gym and for the first time in my life, actually USED my membership. You guys KNOW what I am talking about. I invested some serious cash in hiring a personal trainer to teach me the proper form of strength training. I met with her once a week for 10 […]

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 […]

Psssst. Confession time…all this healthy living stuff can be kind of a drag at times. I try to pump myself up by chanting mantras such as ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’ or ‘You’re not going to die from running’ (though sometimes I question this). Sometimes, I need to resort to full on bribery.
My problem […]

Anyone else weigh themselves first thing in the morning naked or almost naked? Am I alone in this thought process, truly believing that my clothes add ALL the extra weight?!
For those of […]

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 […]

It’s Monday, and you know what that means! Time to confess!!! Ready. Set. Here we go! 1. I have been to three tailgates in the past three weeks. 2. I wish I could say that I’ve been good. But I haven’t. 3. Food-wise, not too bad. Drink-wise, no comment.
4. I can’t even say that I stuck to just […]

Can I get a woot woot for football season??
OK, so some of you may not be as super-excited about the beginning of football season because that means for the next few months you’re a “football widow,” but most of us here at the Sisterhood are of the football-watching variety. Yes, my husband’s sooo lucky that I […]

.!. As some of you may know, back in August, I started the crazy, insane Beachbody.com program called Chalean Extreme. During the third week of the first phase, I was doing a bicep work out. All of a sudden, I felt something in my elbow feel weird.
When working out, soreness can be a good thing. If […]

Wednesday night I went to my very first meeting for a triathlon group I just joined. It has taken me literally months to get the cajones to go join this club, I’ve been stalking their messageboard the entire summer. They’re real athletes with real purpose, it’s all very intimidating because here I am, the biggest […]

So much of what we all focus on when trying to lose weight are numbers:
Pounds lost and gained Calories/Points eaten Inches lost Minutes (Hours?) of exercise
Clothes sizes
But what about another set of numbers? When’s the last time you had your cholesterol and triglycerides checked?
My dad was overweight for most of his adult life. It took a doctor to […]

Guess what?! It’s that day of week where you get to spill the beans about your past week- the good, the bad, the ugly, or whatever you want to share. C’mon, you know you want to!
I’m just going to cut the chase and get on with mine.
I have not touched a sip of […]
