This week? Long for me.

Caint wait for a break.

For others this week

they’d like it to stay.

Go wish this fine blogger

HAPPY BLOG-BIRTHDAY!

(She’s made it three years.

So impressive to me.

Miz. not ONE yet–

I *long* to make three!)

What’s on tap for you?

This weekend I mean.

Im readying for next week.

Im a baking machine.

Ive house guests arriving

Need to red up their room.

Fresh flowers? Fancy soap?

Time to get out the broom!

I think Ill make cupcakes

for dinner. How FUN!

(or would that be cruel?

disappoint everyone?!)

Must work. Job calls.

Then the grocery. You too?

So alas there’s NO FREEBIE.

Just a teaser for you.

A SATURDAY treat.

Is coming your way.

From two B-Band members

So generous I must say!

(please to find below precisely how a dayjobslammed MizFit is going to fit in her workout today. You in the Austin area? keep your eyes peeled. I mightcould be lunging down a grocery aisle near you.)

  2. LOL! Not much going on this weekend, but hubby and I will get some alone time as my sister is watching little man Saturday night! Yay!! Today taking little man and his cousins to see Bolt!

  4. It’s 2:40am PST and you are probably getting up now…lol! zOMG! I soooo want to do those lunges as I walk towards the bakery in Whole Foods. Won’t feel so guilty eating my vegan German Choc Cookie. Can you imagine the workout lifting some frozen turkeys 🙂

    Thank you dearie for the birthday props! Wowza, we are three 🙂

  5. the first above link?
    it is not so clear.
    Could it be that the Miz
    is tired up in here?

    It’s a link to a post
    about music you see
    workouts and BLOGGERS
    (and one of em’s ME!)

  7. I clicked on the baking link to see what desserts you’ll be making. Those cookies look good and I want to try ’em, but no pies for you? Even on Thanksgiving?

  8. why YES there shall be pie.

    it’s already made.

    in the freezer.

    courtesy of costco 🙂

    (Im not a pieperson nor is the Ren Man but, lest you fear for my guests, my sister is makingbakingbringing)

  10. hangry you confuse me.

    what is this (fingerquote) making (unFQ) of which you speak?

    I thought pies were for purchase only.

    HUH.

  11. hahahhahahahahahhahahahah AWESOME video. Lets make this a trend. Maybe they will start adding treadmills to certain aisles 😉

  14. AWESOME video. Lets make this a trend.

    I initially did it for Hungry Girls newsletter and REALLY HOPED with her *clout in the industry* that they would install treadmills or at least LUNGING ONLY AISLES in the groceries 🙂

    guess Ill have to create my own with electrical tape (the aisles. not the treadmill. thus far Ive been unsuccessful in creating a treadmill out of tape.)

    and natalia? they ALL thought I was crazy and I really was thisclose to being escorted out of the store….but youll have that.

  15. Have they not kicked you out of the CM yet? Have fun baking and whatever you do, stay away from the Food Network when the Barefoot Contessa is on. She has no idea what low calorie food is!

    I can only muster up the bike today. Is this a bad cold or allergies?

  16. So when I walked the dog this morning I put on workout pants, lined wind pants, a t-shirt, a heavy sweatshirt, a windbreaker, hat, gloves, both hoods up. YOU are wearing shorts.

    😛

    It’s c-c-c-cold here. Shivering must burn calories.

    Have fun with your guests.

    I’m going to lunch and shopping with a former beau’s mom and sister. Them I love – him, now so much.

  17. I notice your cardio did not entail chasing toddler. Mine always did…

    Costco pies? Sigh. A piece of me just died… I will make 3 this holiday. Don’t know who will eat them, as I have a potato-hole not a pie-hole.

    The meatloaf cupcakes? Always better in theory. Better in a pie or cake pan lined with foil so you can lift it right out.

    I think the treadmill aisles should be: ice cream, cookies, and potato chips, set on a high incline and going very very fast. You can’t do, you can’t have.

    Scrolled all the way down and read that you work out sans tunes? Gad, I’d totally lose focus. Need to bury myself in the zone.

    Let the baking weekend begin!!!

  19. Meribeth? My fellowAustinite? It is allergies and they BAD!

    Marianne? Fedex. Pies. I’ll send addy. Next wed. Thank you.
    And the music thing? 50% overwhelmed by all the choices (sad. I know.) And 50% the same reason I lift w/out gloves: I fear that, the day in inevitably forget my mp3 player, it would all serve as a readymade excuse to skip the lift.

    Natalia? There might have been more to the video (including the store manager storming up very redinface) but my lloyd (entourage, anyone?) is a volunteer and not interested in doing her time in GroceryPrison.

    That place notoriously hardcore.

  20. I love the grocery store workout!!! THAT might be something I could do…though I’m usually at the grocery store in heels… oh well, I’d try anyway!

  21. The little old mean ladies beat me up enough at the grocery store, if I start doing exercise their heads are bound to explode.

    Seriously, I love how you give tips to sneak in workouts where ever you go!

  22. mara? I REQUEST THAT!

    It would be like Grocery Workout: the sexy musical edition.

    (Thanks to Marianne & the Bag Lady my entire week has been filled with thoughts of the musical Chicago)

    And scale junkie? You love. Husband is humiliated. Two sides of the same fitness coin….

    😉

  23. Those origami plastic bags are pretty darn impressive, but NO WAY am I taking the time to do that! I’ll keep shoving them into the tall basket I got from a thrift-store and keep next to the cat food bin specifically for that purpose.

    I’ve worked out at movie lines, in the airport, in hospital lobbies…the grocery store is about the only place I never work out; I’m too focused on hunting for bargains and reading nutritional labels!

  29. MizFit

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! After months of blogging I feel like I’m just now finding my way through the health/fitness blogshere of commenting–Thank You:-)

    Love the practical, all-in-one-shopping tips. I kept waiting for someone to come down the aisle w/a look of surprise on their face!

    Have a great weekend.

  30. Hey Miz! I wish I had your mad rhyming skills…

    BTW, I’ll gladly take your toddler to get pictures done! The trick is not to bring my hubby, he just gets them all worked up.

  31. What’s next week? Oh, yeah. Thanksgiving. Seems so anticlimactic after this week’s excitement. 🙂

    This weekend? Twilight. That’s all. 🙂 Actually, I have an action-packed weekend full of appointments, dates and shows…which is not quite as much fun as it sounds, but close.

    I have to fit my workout in somehow today too, and I’m not sure how that’s going to work. Very sleep-deprived from an extended T-shirt-making session last night, and big date with Edward Cullen tonight, so…maybe after the movie. But I know if I leave it, I won’t do it. I think perhaps a few lunges and squats and some push-up/plank combos are in order for the lunch hour…if I’m still conscious by then!

    And once again, love the rhyme. Just love it. 🙂

    V.

  32. No Whines here…I’ve actually got a pretty lax weekend planned…normally I’m the running around, chicken, head type…but not this weekend…I can relax, sleep in…maybe clean and cook a bit…work on my music…and play World of Warcraft (yeah, I’m a huge NERD)…The next two weekends look like this for me 😀 Finally a bit of R&R for the crazy!

  33. that soap? so gross!!

    but those cupcakes look good and what a fun dinner. I may make them tonight for my kids.

    tomorrow? a freebie? what if I forget to come by 🙂

  35. I can’t believe you are making placecards! I’m struggling just to get the house presentably clean. But you know I bookmarked the steel-cut oat cookies! And the meatloaf cupcakes + my wee ones = comic gold! LOVE that. Almost as much as I love you working out in the grocery store. I would so do this with you:)

  36. LOVE the cupcakes. I could totally do it with nut-roast and mash for a high-protein vegan WINNER of a DINNER.

    Wow, all you lot are going to be suuuper busy over Thanksgiving next week! I shall have to entertain myself… (by lunging in the grocery aisle, maybe?)

    TA x

  38. Thanks for thje vote of confidence Miz! Always nice to know that someone is “rooting” for you.
    Have fun shopping. Buy lots of chocolate for me! 🙂

  39. oh charlotte there is plenty of time for placecards when you rock the t’giving dinner in the fashion I do.

    Lots of time.

    And the freebie tomorrow, carolyn?

    Come for the post more than anything. INSPIRING. Thought provoking.

    Visualization inducing.

    (Oooooh foreshadowing.)

  40. Do people (you know, ordinary people) think you’re a bit crazy when they see you in the store???

    And…paralyzed by the playlist? I’m shocked!

    for the record (I’ll take your weird and quirky over ordinary any day).

  42. You’re not even one year old yet? Holy crap. You’ve come a long way since … what, February? (At least according to the date this domain name was registered.)

    shakes head

  43. This weekend must wait;
    I have to work late.
    It’s just too bad I don’t have a date…

    Then it’s dinner with Grandad;
    he turned sixty nine.
    We’ll wear party hats
    and on steak he will dine.

    Then a paper for class,
    on ADA.
    I’ll clean up my house
    and my bills I will pay.

    Wow, my weekend plans seem even more pathetic in rhyme. I LOVE the grocery store work out! Very cool!

  44. Great post, Miz (love the grocery store workout, but wish the filming had included the red-in-face store manager…..)

    And the links were all great. Took me forever to go through them all…..

  45. That video reminded me of the yoplait commercial with richard simmons (only, less…..richard simmons-y).

    And I’ll be making the meatloaf and potatoes for company.

  46. Lance? What are “ordinary” people? Here in Ann Arbor we have folks walking around in their birks and socks.

    I don’t get to see Twilight this weekend – waiting for niece to come back from Egypt (although we already know we hate it because they picked the wrong Edward). Miz, you read the series? You must, you know…

    🙂

  47. I just have to come over here and thank you for your comments. You are always so encouraging! Thanks so much for taking out the time to encourge little ole me on this journey.

  48. you all make me laugh (loved it hidethosecookies. And your name. Tho up in herre it’s hidethoseOREOS).

    And I adore my birksnsox (and the fact that read quickly that sounds just like birkenstocks. May I deem it a pun? No?).

    And shall never see nor read Twilight.

    My true writing passion is teen/tween fiction.

    Anything
    But
    Fantasy.

    ANYTHING.

    Ok, thumbsgrowtiredo’typing.

  49. those cupcakes were too funny, and soap?? sorry, ew. who knew there were so many poloks in pittsburgh!! (i say that being one myself… too long to type polish people. wait, now i’ve gone and done it. oops)

    ANYWAYS, those steel cut oatmeal cookies are tickling my fancy 🙂 i saw that video way back before i “knew” you miz, and was jealous of your muscles, thinking, “there’s no way she does that down the isle of the store” and quickly cliked away from your sight. hehe, sorry! back now for good 🙂

  50. charlie? You are way more tech savvy than I 😉 and yep turing one on 2.4.09

    ttfn300? I love you even more now…and *I* always watch the videos (once at most. Cringing) and think:

    Holy cr*p I might get on my nerves were I not me….and I do a little and I am me.

    So. Not. That. Always. Perky. In. Real. Life.

    (Or so I claim…)

  52. will there be a Thanksgiving day post? or will you be taking the day off with all that family in town?

  54. You made my morning!! I’m going to the store in a bit but i don’t know if i’ll be doing that, maybe when no one’s looking but the camera??

  55. Hahah grocery store lunges – loves it!! I actually saw a woman walking with her friend a few morning ago just chatting and sipping coffee while she did lunges down the sidewalk and her friend just strolled alongside as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

  56. Uh, yeah. This week HAS been long! Why was that?

    Thanks for the cookie recipe. No lie, but oatmeal cookies (maybe all this oat talk is wearing off on me) are on my list for this weekend and I was planning to experiment a little with maple instead of sugar and some other tweaks.

  58. I think you may be able to do your plank in the foreign food isle since most are concentrating on Thanksgiving this weekend.
    Do these cup cakes come in oatmeal?

  59. I actually saw a woman walking with her friend a few morning ago just chatting and sipping coffee while she did lunges down the sidewalk and her friend just strolled alongside as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

    I DIDNT SEE YOU CATHERINE! you should have stopped me and said hello. introduced yourself! (rimshot? no? oh. ok.)

  60. You go girl. This is one thing I would prolly not do just because of the embarassment factor. I would however do those exercises with my students while they are working on dribbling or jump rope etc. My kid is turning 5 this weekend so having a b-day party on sunday. Also, today, my dad is in town for 14 hours. I love my dad.

  61. i am always lunging and squatting in the grocery store and I get the weirdest looks from people. Oh well, they are missing out on the fun!

    have a great weekend!

  62. This weekend? Crazy busy and fun-packed (as usual). Tonight it’s Twilight (the Hubs idea, believe or not- I haven’t read the books), then the BIL’s art show. Tomorrow is running, raking leaves, then the Big game (BYU vs. Utah). Sunday is pretty full, too, but hopefully I’ll have time to clean.

    I can’t see the picture of the meatloaf cupcakes (dang tech nazis at work), but I’m intrigued. I’ll have to check when I get home.

    And your sis is making pies? Me, too!!! She’s great (emailing her right after this).

    Oh, and about Entourage (yes, it’s so sad that we no longer have HBO- that was on our Tivo Season Pass), I would play Lloyd to your Ari Gold any day!

  63. and I would warn you , RooBabs, to watch what you say:

    I would play Lloyd to your Ari Gold any day!

    (and to nag my sister about the piemaking. people? roo has my sister as her MIZFIT MATCHUP! a blessing and a curse? who can say…)

  64. i despised grocery shopping…especially for the holidays! so overwhelming!
    i would love to see peoples reactions as i lunge down the aisles with my two crazy kids in tow! maybe i should don a tutu??
    happy weekend everybody!!

  65. A blessing, of course!!! I am continually amazed at how we are perfectly matched.

    Oh, and I’m kind of a “Lloyd” in my day job anyway, and I would much rather work for you- not that my current boss is that bad.

  68. Love the meat cupcakes.

    and as the morning goes on Im more and more loving the PHRASE meat cupcakes.

    hmmmmm. meat ‘cakes (please to read like homer simpson).

  70. RE:And the music thing? 50% overwhelmed by all the choices (sad. I know.) And 50% the same reason I lift w/out gloves: I fear that, the day in inevitably forget my mp3 player, it would all serve as a readymade excuse to skip the lift.

    I find myself “bench dancing” when listening to my music. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.. though others may be embarrassed to watch me.

    As long as I don’t start singing OUT LOUD!

    And when I forget, or the battery is dead? There are usually hot guys are working out! Eye candy in white t-shirts/black pants/shaved heads.

    Even better when the eye candy admires my moves!

  71. Going to see Bolt this weekend, which reminds me… I have to go online and see whose voices I’ll be hearing, otherwise I just sit through the whole movie trying to figure it out.

  72. I think I will just stick to my calf raises when I wait in line. I am not sure I am brave enough to do walking lunges with a basket over my head. I will probably end up tripping while trying to stop myself from giggling. You are one brave woman MizFit. 😀

  73. Grocery-bag folding. Definitely got to be on my list: Goal 102 – get all the grocery bags folded.

    We’re trying to cut down on grocery bags, but we now have so many big colorful reuseable ones that we should probably figure out a way to fold them for storage. Especially since we never remember to take them, which is why we keep having to buy more.

    Anybody have any tips for remembering to take your bags to the store?

  75. Ooh, steel-cut oatmeal cookies.

    I never seem to have flour in the house, and the last time I was craving cookies, I just threw my steel cut oats into our food processor for awhile and then used it in a healthy-ish chocolate chip cookie recipe. They turned out delicious. Husband-approved. So I am a big fan of the SCOs in cookies!

    Happy weekend. I always try to make the security guards laugh– y’know, I sing/dance in places where there’s nobody but security cameras to catch me. Lunging in the grocery aisles is even gutsier.

  76. Hey Miz,

    Happy Blog Birthday!!! And thanks so much for the link love and providing Go Healthy Go Fit with that awesome article you did on music for your workout, I know my readers will love it!!!

    You rock!!

    All the Best,

    Andrew R
    Go Healthy Go Fit

  77. we cannot bring sweets to my daughter’s school so perhaps I should get my wife to make those cupcakes for the class treat?

  78. That video cracks me up! I think you must have a high tolerance for embarrassment! 🙂

    I can’t believe you’re not a year old! I had no idea. Just assumed your blog had been around a while. (Although I can plainly see that the archives start in February. Will there be a MizFit b-day party, with . . . dare I say it? MEAT CAKES??? *dies laughing*)

  80. LOL!!! Yea…still laughing. You just made my day. Canned goods (especially the larger cans like pie filling), are great for working the wrist. This can help with preventing carpel tunnel from all that blogging. Happy three years!

  81. Taking your bags to the store…

    I keep them in my car so I dont’ have to remember. Just carry them in. Been doing that for nearly 20 years, so it’s habit by now.

  82. we cannot bring sweets to my daughter’s school so perhaps I should get my wife to make those cupcakes for the class treat?

    oh evan. on your daughter’s behalf I urge you to smuggle in the sweet sweet contraband’y goodness which is sugarfilledcupcakes.

    And I’m not a clear rhymer I guess 😉
    Not *my* blogbirthday—it’s BackInSkinnyJeans’

    That blowout shall occur in February (if by *blowout* you mean here’s hoping I make it—–which I do).

  83. Thanks for that Whole Grain Gourment site! I’m going to explore it now. That cookie recipe doesn’t say how many cookies it makes, but it looks huge.

  84. I have seriously never seen anyone exercising in the grocery store before 🙂 It’s a great idea though, I guess you can pretty much get some exercise in wherever you are.

  86. Mr Marathon’s birthday is this weekend, so we’ll have a couple of small celebrations. Also, Costco (where I shall lunge) and planning for the next few weeks.

    I’m surprised by how ready I am for the holidays!

    Have a great weekend!

  87. That was the bestest video ever. I didn’t know we were always talking about transfat-laden goodies first of all.

    And watching you lift the bbq lighter fluid for weights. I was wondering how it would work spraying it all over the store. Did you check those lids first?

    What the toddlertornado videotaping you?

    And finally, those lunges with the basket.
    Have you no shame?
    Loved it!
    If I saw you in the store like that, I’d head the other way.

  88. Read the whole post AND the comments and couldn’t figure out why you’d be baking for next week? And guests coming too? Must be a birthday I thought! LOL My head cold must be pretty bad!

    Love that you have the nerve to do a grocery workout. This is clearly an advanced session, meaning I am a chicken–cluck cluck! (or should I say goble goble)

  89. This is to Melissa for remembering the reusable grocery bags: I had this problem at first, until I got in the habit. I always keep mine in the car. When I’m done unloading from a shopping trip, I take them right out to the car so I’ll have them for next time.

    Now if I could only figure out how many bags to take into the store with me, without taking a whole armful when I only end up using 1 or 2.

  90. that bacon soap is truly gross.

    truly.

    the grocery story workout is HIlarious. That is one for The Soup!
    I have seen you talk about joel mchale!

  92. no. I guess I hath no shame?

    it’s more than that really. I just like to laugh. Oh that you could have seen the outtakes (now I need to go and see if I deleted them. maybe not!) or my cameragrownasswoman (alas not the Toddler) shaking with laughter while I tried to be the consummate professional.

    and sarah? that’s so my goal (and nightmare). To turn on the soup and find my tvcrush, Joel, mocking the Miz.

    (*cue dream sequence music*)

  94. Congratz on the b-day! This looks like a post I might make.. but not on purpose, after a couple glasses of wine! Not meant as an insult but rather a compliment if that makes sense? As in, I couldn’t be that witty on purpose? Oh well… Thanks for stopping by my site! You are always welcome there. I would especially appreciate your comments on my Rants and Rambles posts.

    I LOVE the supermarket workout. I am doing it this weekend. My wife is going to leave me from embarrassment. She already hates that I wear my 5 finger shoes there.

    You look great! Keep spreading the good fitness word.

    The SoG

  97. Love the outfit you wear for the grocery store. I SO wish you lived nearby. Any skiing plans? Utah is fantastic for that, and we could both shop in our running shorts, just sayin’.

  98. Miz! your videos used to show up in my google reader but they haven’t for some time now. i know to open up the monday posts to the webpage for facetime, but i never know when other videos are posted anymore 🙁 unless u mention a video as u did in your edit. did you change something about your feed? 🙁

  99. your videos used to show up in my google reader but they haven’t for some time now.

    I KNOW!
    what’s up with that? (she asks not rhetorically)

    Im gonna try again to fix…
    thanks for reminding me as Id entirely forgotten.

  100. I have vista and found I needed to uninstall Flash then re-install; now I can see Mizvideos again! LOVE the grocery store workout.

    As for pies…. I wish I could say I’ll be making some this year, but I’ll be traveling to the in-laws. No time for baking. I make a berry pie (cranberries & blueberries, sour cream crust) that lots of people seem to like… and this apple pie was a hit:

    http://www.friendscript.com/photos/RoseApplePie.jpg

    Miz, please to send address.

  106. I have recently lost a good amount of weight using acai berry and colon cleanse pills and have created a blog documenting my use of it.
    However, I would also like to try out the Wu-Yi weight loss teas and document my progress with that as well.
    The problem is i have heard some bad things about these teas. Has anyone tried them? Did you suffer from any of the side effects?

  108. I’m the only one in this world. Can please someone join me in this life? Or maybe death…

  109. Your welcome everyone,
    My computer worked slowly, too much mistakes and buggs. Please, help me to fix errors on my PC.
    I used Windows7.
    Thanks,
    Brisfariupror
