Viewer Mail. The *some of you are gonna feel ripped off* edition.

by

Once upon a time MizFit had no search button on her website.

As a result, she was none to good at providing tags or descriptors for her posts (ahhh the early days. how she hath grown & matured since then. wipes a proud tear from her eye).

As she endeavors to change that she’s received a number of emails asking questions about topics she’s already covered but which are entirely too difficult to find.

So here they are.

Kinda sorta organized.

Just like their creator.

The abs ramble.

Some chatting about/defining of weight training sets and repetitions.

Sample at home shoulder exercises.

Biceps and more biceps

Triceps and more triceps.

Why you should always remember to stretch!

Pushups.

Lunging (Blair Witch style as the Bag Lady deemed it).

My protein shake rant chat.

The Jen R. I Finally Found These For You clean eating post, what I like to nosh on & a snack suggestions snippet.

Lastly, for shits & giggles and there’s no way Im watching that clip again EVAH, the first facetime.

**Yesterday’s winner? Charlotte (cue confetti shaped like drawstrings & running shorts liners). Email me your address and the shorts & tee shall be on their way!

  1. Unfortunately that protein shake link has only put more questions into my head!! How WAS the pea protein, and what did you add to it?

    I ask because I sent Boy off to get himself some protein powder (he is vegan and has shocking protein levels) so he could make a shake he liked. He picked up some PLAIN pea stuff.

    He blended it up with soy milk and banana and I tried some and BLEEHHH. He’s still drinking it because he thinks it’s good for him but I KNOW he won’t stick to it unless he thinks its yummy which he clearly doesn’t either. I’ve got him chucking some frozen berries in now, but he’s said there’s still room for improvement….

    …any ideas? I WILL prove to him that food is NOT a punishment!

    Thankyou thankyou thanyou

    TA x

  2. Hooray!

    I love that there is now a search button. You always have such great tips, but often I’m too lazy to put them into practice when I first read them. Then when I come back I can’t find ’em.

    Now I can!

  4. Now you’re “all growed up”, as my friends would call it! OK, with us it still means we’re always a bit childish, but still.

    Love the search button. I will be using it to return to links and videos often.

  6. never fear.
    I shall always be 13 Going On 30—-or, as friday will have it, 13 Going On 39.

  7. Many many thanks to you for finding the links and getting your clean eats out to all of us! I continue to be in awe of you- not only your amazing bod but your unbelievable focus and drive to be healthy and fit!

    LOVE the search function as well.

    thanks so much for all you do on this blog! I am addicted to it. Seriously. (better get in the shower or I’ll be late for work!)

  8. thanks so much Jen.
    I make not a cent from MizFit (yet. I know. I’m doing something wrong but I’m also a big believer in the Pay it Forward so I’m doing something right as well I hop.) And comments like yours make it all *so* worthwhile.

    M.

  9. Thanks for the comments and encouragement on my blog lately. I really need all the encouragement I can get on this plateau.

    Thanks for the links. Will check them out.


  12. Hmmm, Marcy.

    Shall we do a posedown of all the MizFits in a few months?
    A picture montage?
    Video clips?

    M.

  13. I had a question about the pea protein too! I can’t find it anywheres… GNC didn’t like the “but MizFit says it’s real!!” that I pulled on them. Vitamin World had never heard of it either. Max Muscle had heard of it but didn’t carry it. You get yours online?

    Thanks for the linkage. You’re going to hate me for saying this but I have long admired your biceps (coveted, actually) but my new love now are your triceps. You should wear tank tops year round. Even skiing.

  15. I ski?

    Mine is olympia labs (amazon!) and I’m drawing a blank on the brand of my plain pea (which I use for pasta and adore).

    When I’m at the domicile (I’m a’thumb typin’) I’ll check.

    And thanks Charlotte for your kind words….

    M.

  16. thanks to the clean eating post I have purchased, oh, SIX bags of beef jerkey in the past two weeks. Expensive stuff. I need to visit CostCo and load up. I think turkey is my fave…


  17. Seriously expensive.

    I’ll be lean and the Toddler will have to skip college.

    M.

  18. Here’s another question:

    In my strength circuit I do not do anything exercises specifically targeting the triceps, biceps, and shoulders (a la Mizfit’s examples) Can I add them on odd days at home with free weights?

    I’m not a fan of protein shakes either. Too much muss and fuss for me. I have to start mussing and fussing again “up in here” I think. I know it helped before.

    Thanks for the Mizfit rewind. I liked.

  22. I loved looking through the links that i hadn’t seen before! Thanks, alot of the tips on exercising i will be using šŸ˜‰
    Oh and way to go on getting a search button, it will make it a lot easier to find things.

  23. Dang you have some good archived content. Even your first Facetime is good! It’s you! Not quite as comfortable as now, but it’s fun to see the MizFit from the beginning. šŸ˜‰

    Hurray for searches! I’m now off to search for random words and see what your site comes up with…

  25. Excellent, its always fun to go back and read old posts and those ones that you linked are definitely top of my list of ones that I wanted to return to and re-read. Heart the search button!

  27. I love these summaries, thanks so much from all of us newbies, YAY!

    And also, I am borrowing your theory – “I make not a cent … but Iā€™m also a big believer in the Pay it Forward” I’m going to remember that for myself, too – since the only people who read my blog are my mom and a handful of others. But I love doing it anyway. šŸ™‚

  28. syd, in my opinion, life is all about the karma (to use the term more in the My Name is Earl way than the proper way…).

    And the idea that if we hold on tightly to what we have with both hands we’ve no way to receive anything more!

    It’s all about the give (& now I’m reading your blog as well ;)).

    (Leaps off soapbox & back into BabyMama-mode)

  29. This is very helpful for new subscribers to your blog like me. I’m off to see your snack suggestions (this is where I usually fall of the bandwagon; I know, ice cream with whipped cream and marshmallows is not a healthy snack).

  30. MizFit, you’re the best! Someday I will have arms like yours (once I lose this top layer of fluff).

    Thanks for the re-cap. I look forward to viewing vids when I get home, as they are blocked from my computer here at work (dang Big Brother). Also, thanks so much for your running “test drive” yesterday. So much good feedback from commenters- thanks guys!!

  33. Excellent! I looked for the clean eating post before and couldn’t find it- thanks for that link especially!

    Your site has been one of my favorite fitness ones that has come under my radar. You are real and your ideas are doable. Your no excuses approach is so refreshing. And between your post and the comments from all, I usually get a few good laughs in every day.

  34. I need to do something about my tags, they are a terrible mess.

    BTW, wanted to let you know I had a great run today. You should see the route map I put together. It is up on my blog now.

  35. alas Im not certain the tags are better or (fingerquote) fixed (unFQ) so methinks there may be another post like this in six or 8 months.

    eh.

    you’ll have that.

    šŸ˜‰

  38. Love all the video links and the search button!

    If you are still looking for an assistant, I volunteer. Our kiddos could keep each other entertained while I followed you everywhere video taping. (that sounds a little stalkerish. sorry.) Of course, the drive from Houston to Austin might get old after a while….not to mention expensive. Oh well.

  39. Ugh I can’t wait to get back into a gym to lift but I have to wait until September when I’m back at school. Till then it’s yoga, biking, and oh yeah training for a marathon šŸ™‚
    great links! I’ll save em for later!

  40. robin? You’d love the commute as I hear the traffic in houston is nothing (*wink*) and it’s cooler in the ATX!

    M.

  42. Um….running short liners? Am I the only one scratching her head?

    I’ll add my .02… I keep your site on my tabs to motivate me to treat myself better. My arms are not like yours. They are, however, a lot less like great aunt Victoria’s. You did not want to be under her when she waved. A kid could get hurt…..

    I wanna be 39 again…

  43. Pool Great Aunt Victoria….
    And I love love love running shorts with liners.
    I won’t have em any other way.
    Or my running/workout *skirts* either (yes. a nonetoosubtle hint at a future Test Drive ;))

    M.

  47. OOPS. shocking, mallory, that Id EVER screw that up, huh?

    Ill fix when Im at the computer.

    thanks.

    **it’s fixed**

    M.

  48. Loads of information all in one place! Or, at least links to all that info…

    What to look at first? Hmmm…..

  52. Miz Fit, reading your articles has shown me the error of my ways. All these months of working out and hardly stretching?! My mind is blown.

    But seriously, you are fantastic and motivating, and I really enjoy reading anything you write.

  53. I so do not feel ripped off! I love the links, the first video was adorable and I feel like doing crunches now for some reason. šŸ™‚ Which is a good thing.

    Such a neat little package of all the basic cool stuff I missed in the dark ages before I found the wonderfulness that is you!

    V.

  54. I know that up above if you click on THE BRACELET I ramble about how I struggle, with all the hats, err, bandannas I wear, to keep it all together—-but it bears repeating.

    I really really appreciate all of your kind words—–entirely why I love blogging for you.

    M.

  55. Thank you for that – I’ve been doing crunches wrong all along. I did them the Mizfit way last night and struggled to do half the number I usually do – so I think I’m finally getting a good ab workout.
