Welcome to another addition of Throwback Thursday at the Sisterhood! This week we’re taking a look back at fad diets. The days of yore when we wanted to weigh less and quickly and because we knew less, we went about it in a less healthy manner. And in droves. I’ve done this plenty. I realized […]
What the what?? How is it possibly August? I don’t know how it is for all of you, but summer is just flying by for me and my family. August also means that we are officially in our last 4 weeks of our Burst Into Summer challenge. How are you doing with everything? Are you […]
Good morning Shrinkers! Can you believe we’ve made it 7 weeks into this challenge already? We’re over half-way there! Are you half-way to your goals yet, or is it time to kick it into SERIOUS gear? I know I need to kick it up several notches. Sheesh! No worries, though, because I know we can […]
It’s one thing for me to be bored, popping a squat on the couch and sticking my fingers into a bag of chips nice bag of measured out healthy almonds while chomping away mindlessly. (Of course it’s not a good habit to be mindlessly eating anything, but at least it’s me.) It’s quite another thing, […]
Good morning bursting into summer-ers! How are we feeling today? Have we hopped onto that scale this morning? (Was he/she your friend?) I have to say my scale was pretty good to me but only because of ills that hath befallen our house, and though it’s definitely not my favorite way to lose 3 pounds, it’s definitely a […]
Hello Shrinking Sisters and Brothers. How is it going? Have you melted from the sweltering heat yet? I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but it’s hotter than hell down here in Texas. H-O-T. The heat isn’t really doing much for me either, other than making me want to stay inside with my […]
I can say with conviction and 100% absolute certainty that I have never, ever, EVER, been a vacation exerciser. Vacation was a place to vacation — from everything a person needs a vacation from, calorie counting and exercising included. I gained 7 pounds on a cruise once. I didn’t learn from that, either. And I […]
As you know, the Sisterhood sisters spent a few days in Baltimore at Fitbloggin. We exercised together and we spent a vast amount of the time eating healthily, since Fitbloggin provided breakfast and lunch for all of us and there were yummy breakfasts that consisted of high-fiber cereals, Eggland’s Best eggs (ohMIgod were those good […]

If you blog and you’re interested in anything to do with health or fitness (or if you are one […]

Many of you who know me wouldn’t be surprised if I told you that every time I think of the word “try,” I think of the word, “tri.” It’s because “tri” to me, is the epitome of “try.” Not to everyone, just to me. I feel that way because the first time I ever raced […]
We all know that a good bra can either make or break your exercise experience. Have a crappy bra and you may have to “double-bag” the girls. That may be just as bad as a sports bra that gives the dreaded “uni-boob” look. I admit it. I was a chronic uni-boober. And then I received […]
Hello there everyone! It’s the middle of the week, hump day if you will, and it’s time to check yo self! How did we do this week? How do you feel about the week? Go on in and see if the scale matches how you feel! Because quite often for me the two don’t match […]
Did you know April is Stress Awareness Month, Poetry Month, National Volunteer Month, National Humor Month, Eating Disorders Awareness Month, National Car Care Month (I might take advantage of this one!), and National Pecan Month? Those are only just a few that I came up with in just a few short clicks. Among the many […]
There’s a sort of “girl power” feeling in the music these days and I gotta tell ya, I LIKE IT! We try to keep things positive here at the Sisterhood and we try to keep things REAL at the Sisterhood. We all share way too much information on the internet about working out and weight-loss (pee […]
