Okay, so I totally got the idea for this post from one of the Biggest Loser contestants.  If you watch the show, you know that the contestants spend 16 weeks on the Biggest Loser campus if they‘re not voted off.  Their job for these 16 weeks is to lose weight.  And it’s a full time […]

 It’s Week 6 of our Shrink Into Summer challenge!  How are you doing?  Are you SHRINKING?  Exercising?  Eating right?

I know that for me, I am in this for the long haul.  I’m all about the journey, not the end destination.  And while my journey is crawling along at a snails pace and sometimes I get distracted […]

Dear Body,  

Why must you fail me on the day BEFORE weigh-in?  I had plans of exercising TWICE today- once with shredding and then another 30 minutes cardio.  You have been great to me during ALL the pounding from shredding- the jumping, the lunging, the planking, the squat jumping- all of it.  You have not failed once […]

By my calculations, we have officially reached day 30 of the 30-Day Shred! Woooohoooooo!!
Wow, it was a tough challenge. Day 1 left us thinking we’d never make it past Day 2. Day 2 left us unable to lift our arms above our waists, and boy were we hating those side lunges with anterior raises. Yeah, […]

As I’ve said before, not only do each and every one of these ladies bring something wonderful to the Sisterhood, they are also here looking for support and encouragement from our community. Please make sure to give them a warm Sisterhood welcome!!

Today was Shred Day Whatever.  I don’t even know what Day today was. My heart just wasn’t into it today.  I am ready to take a break from shredding.  I will finish my 30 days but then will move to something else for a short while.  Or maybe not.

I am having a hard time today.  Not with […]

I am on Day4 of Level 3 on the 30-Day Shred, and maybe it’s just me, but it seems to be getting harder each day rather than easier. I mean, I’m already sweating and out of breath after the freaking warm up! By the time I hit circuit 2 I’m ready to die, and when […]

I like sugar. I like sugar a lot. I like it on my cereal.  I like it on my oatmeal. I like it in my coffee. I like it baked into stuff. I like it not baked into stuff.

What I don’t like is how it makes me want to eat more. How one cookie becomes 3.  […]

That means it’s likely we will come up short on the recommended amounts of calcium and other essential nutrients dairy foods naturally provide to help keep bones strong and bodies healthy. Encouraging your family to eat […]
