A day in the life of a misfit.

by

I’d say this is kind of a rehash—but so is my life.

While day-to-day life in Casa MizFit can be Groundhog’s Day-esque enough of you asked about it here I figured Id share.

I give you:

A Day in the Life of MizFit.

Immediately after waking I head here (yes it’s the crack of dawn. no I dont set an alarm. Im a firm believer in the notion if Im not up-at-crack & excited for the day I must need more sleep. Im always up-at-crack)

Once Ive grabbed that I head here and work for a couple of hours:


you can find me sitting on this core-working/back-saving chair:

In my office I also have an amazing mural to the left of my desk.  It frequently serves to spark my morning-creativity:

Next, when there’s 30 minutes or so left before Ren Man departs for the day, I cease working & head over to the cardio center for some exercise:

If there’s still time left before he departs I do a fitness routine, too.

Maybe some core work.

Or a few circuits of resistance band training with this in between sets:


(it’s hard to tell but those are high knees)

Then it’s time to turn my entire focus to this:

Sometimes we will start our day with her (fingerquote) school work (unFQ):

Or perhaps a PLAYout at the park:


(that’s the slide. it’s another hard-to-tell photo.)

At some point after that I’ll demand some rest:


In preparation for Barbie yoga:

Following Barbie time yoga class I frequently have a snack of this**:

An act which, a few weeks ago, provided us with materials to construct Barbie & Ken a new home:

And then, as you stay-at-home/work-at-home mamas know, the days usually take a turn for the desperate.

Sometimes we swing by a local toy store & play until the stares of the saleswomen get to be too much:

Other times we drop by & visit Ren Man at the office and overstay our welcome until the stares of the aforementioned R-Man get to be too much.

Soon the day begins to slow down a bit.

We might color for a while (according to the Tornado this is our family as represented by flowers):

Or have some chit-chatt’y girl-time:

Or pester Ren Man a bit more:


All too quickly the nighttimeroutineGLAM ensues (dinner, TornadoRebelling, bath, TornadoRebelling, books read, TornadoRebelling, repeat. repeat.) until she’s asleep.

And then, for this MizFit, it’s back here for a bit:

Until this guy comes home:

and we hang until bed.

The end.

**obviously my beloved Met-Rx shake is not all I consume during a 24 hour period.  That info, as dry & boring as it is, can be found here.

    • I do! it is very pricey & there’s oft a long waiting period…but I do offer some awesome (read: trashy) magazines 🙂

  3. Good gosh you are up too early!
    I am looking to add in a protein shake, too.
    Do you think they are necessary?
    Do you make the Met Rx every day?

  10. I tried shakes years ago and gave up on them. Now, I love my shakes. I got a magic bullet blender and I put my vanilla shake mix in with water and some slices of frozen peaches. That makes it come out cold and thick. Now I am addicted. I did try other frozen fruit, but the combination of the vanilla and peach comes out tasting the richest, and least like a diet food.

  15. I had to smile at you and your daughter. I sort of, but only sort of, miss the days of my boys needing my attention and us spending our days together. I loved having a little hand to hold when I was walking into the grocery store. Miss that.

  16. I imagine that’s how my days will be when my son is born.

    I worry I will blow off the cardio center though LOL.

  17. You both are so gorgeous! You should let me draw you both some time! That’d be a beautiful drawing!

    Do you home school her?

    Barbie yoga! THAT IS AWESOME!

  19. Awwww. Love it. I get up early too, but by alarm, the day just goes so much better when I get my morning quiet time and workout in before everyone’s up, when I don’t get up, I feel like I’m playing catch up all day. I keep seeing you talk about the Met RX, going to have to try them. I’m always up for some good protein, lol.

  22. I just adore every photo~ You are a master story teller & going back to look again! Love I now know what your day LOOKS like 🙂 So funny i was just thinking of Met-Rx the other day and was thinking I needed to try some. Thanks! 🙂

  27. Love the routine, thanks for the post. I still don’t know how you get up so early… 🙂

    Was just discussing with Zliten that we’ve gotten into a nice weekday routine with lots of things we look forward to (ab class on Monday, reading night Tuesday, pho Friday, etc). I’m always trying to be more spontaneous and change things up, but sometimes… you gotta stick with what works…

  28. I wonder if having such a routine has helped you with your weight loss maintaining (yesterday’s post)?

    My life is really unscheduled.
    I like it that way, but maybe more of a plan would help?

    I love your coffee mug 🙂

  29. Love the routine, I still don’t know how you wake up so early…

    Zliten and I were just discussing this very thing this week – we have a definite weekly routine and we look forward to it (ab class monday, reading night tuesday, pho lunch friday, etc). I always try to be more spontaneous but sometimes you gotta go with what works…

  31. My stay at home days resemble yours quite a bit, or at least used to. Now that my girl goes to school all day, it’s really condensed, and I have a ton to pack into evenings and weekends. In some ways it gives me more time for the things I want and need to do all day, but it really can wear on me to try and get everything done like homework, karate class, practicing for her karate class and family time to just hang. I’m tired at the end of my day, but I think about 5 more hours to make sure we spend enough time enjoying each other would be just right.

  34. I loved this post.
    Does that make me weird and stalkery?
    I’ve wondered what you do when you don’t blog 🙂

  38. Your desk is better than mine. So is your coffee pot. I don’t have a cartoon guy that comes home so…I guess I lose that one too.

  40. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I might have to try your version of yoga!!! 🙂 Loved this post!!! Love the pics!! It says it all!

    I am late.. I thought I read you earlier but obviously I did not.. can I blame this memory stuff on age???

    I read before I ever get my reminder of your posts by email because they comes so late for me & I am usually off the computer by then!

  41. I have to tell you that tonight I made Penne, Spinach and Walnuts from the Ready Set site and loved it! Healthy, quick and yummy. If I were to add chicken or garbanzo beans it would be even better. Thanks for introducing me to the site.

  43. This is why I adore you.
    You make me believe I can fit being healthy into my life after we have children.

  44. I like seeing how you spend your day – it’s always interesting to see what other people do during the day and how they handle things (such as having a toddler around).

    Now, Miz, I’ve gotta ask… just what are you going to do with yourself when the Toddler goes to school? You’ll have so many hours in the day but no play buddy! Hehe.

    I love how early you wake up. And how you set aside time for fun. SO important 🙂

  45. Im so ready and planned for the arrival of kindergarten.
    I shall simultaneously mourn the loss of my sidekick whilst celebrating the fact I no longer have to get up at 4a to work since the arrival of 7a means Im off the WorkClock 🙂

    ahhh bittersweet.

  48. I’m not sure how I got to a different front page, so please forgive my comments inspired ny your daughter and the puple jump rope at an entirely different time! I have been so blessed to watch my 4yod catch right on and join mr in choosing healthy foods and exercise beside me. The jump rope remided me of punkrope.com. MAN! I wanna get strong enough to do THAT!
