MizFit Mag, PB2 & Hungry Girl.

by

OK, People, we are moving forward with the MizFit Mag.

Last week we talked basics & this week I want to get a little more specific.

First, there is absolutely no need for you to do anything but read (or not) & move on with your life.

If you are interested in participating here’s the deal:

  • I am looking for articles for the first issue.
  • They need to be blog post length (I know this varies. 700-800 wordsish), proofread as best you can, & sent in a word document (dates will be announced soon).
  • I need book reviews (anything to do with health, fitness, healthy living etc), recipe/cooking articles (healthy is best but no need to have all the nutritional information included if it’s something youve created yourself), articles on running (newbie, long-term runner, anybody any topic), yoga articles (any kind, any level).
  • When you send in an article be sure to include a 2-3 sentence bio mentioning any sites or blogs you would like to have linked.
  • Overexcited? Ready? Send your word doc. to MizFitMag@yahoo.com .  If for some reason it doesnt fit in the initial issue I’ll let you know/file the submission away for subsequent issues.
  • An ad sheet will be posted here soon.  If you know you are interested in advertising feel free to email me at MizFitMag@yahoo.com.

That’s pretty much it for now.  Keep your eyes peeled for more updates.

I cant help but assume (and hope) Ive triggered more questions than Ive answered so please to chime in below if you need clarification.

Next, can you believe it has been NINE MONTHS since I posted this PB2 video.

In case you hadn’t seen I wanted to let you know about a contest PB2 is holding (please to note I have no affiliation or association with PB2. I just love me some video contests):

We have seen so many videos about PB2 we want to show our appreciation by organizing a little friendly competition. Create your own video – including why you like PB2, how you use it, and recipes. The Bell Plantation Team will review all videos and vote on the three top entries.

Prizes: First place winner: $300.00; second place: $200.00; and third place: $100.00.

Contest Rules:

* Email your video to: contest@bellplantation.com
* Videos must not exceed 3 minutes.
* Videos must be received by midnight, March 20, 2009.
* Winners will be chosen by Bell Plantation, Inc.
* Winners will be notified by March, 27, 2009.
* Bell Plantation reserves the right to display videos on our website www.bellplantation.com

Im not sure I have the time to enter—but if you do feel free to share your video with the rest of the Bumbling Band as Id love to post a few here for all to see!

Lastly, Im excited to announce that we’re having another visit by Hungry Girl!

Ive asked my interview questions but reserved the right to ask one more.

So please to suggest away.  What would YOU wanna ask ask HG should you have the opportunity?

(Ren Man announced he wanted to know if she’s really hungry. I rolled my eyes & decided to pass the asking opportunity on to you.)

*whew*

That’s a lotta Wednesday chickenbus, I know.

Hit me up with your questions (mag submissions/ads) & queries (for the Girl behind the Hunger) in the comments.

    • AHHHH that I knew yet 🙂 More coming next week but if you have stuff now—–send it it.
      Im quite frankly working on ADVERTISEMENTS first as Id hate to say SUBMISSIONS DUE BY FRIDAY 🙂 and have no one willing to put their dollars behind us (not the case. havent asked yet.).

      how’s that for not helpful?

      watch here. twitter. send anything now.

      (there ya go)

  3. I would love to ask Hungry Girl about her.

    Is she married? Does she had children?
    I know it sounds nosy but Ive always wondered.

  4. Oh and can I use something I have already used on my blog for the magazine?

    send you something I mean.

  5. I’ve got a few things bubbling away – some recipes, some book reviews. I’ll get something to you by Monday prob.

    This is super super cool Miz!

  7. WOW! lots of exciting stuff going on on your end 🙂 Love the idea of the magazine. I cannot wait to see all the good stuff other bloggers write! Hope you have a good one

  8. Bea? YES and NO. yes you sure may send me something youve posted. preferably a little longer than most blog posts but really no matter.

    and no. not something youve posted today or this week (again, preferably) 🙂

    The mag is going to be a lot of me which I dont share here (more personal stuff) & a lot of what YOU want to see and make it.

    Im excited (and also thisclose to getting Ren Man to do a column about MUSIC. Totally his passion).

  9. Hungry Girl: is it all second nature for her now? does she just eat healthy out of habit?

    what does she say to people who think she eats too many processed foods?

    Thanks Miz for the opportunity.

  12. I’ve never heard of the PB2 before.

    Is it really good or just passable?

    My question for HG is this:

    I eat as you do and am constantly criticized.

    It works well for me.

    What would you suggest I say to my criticzers?

    Thanks MizFit!

  13. Hungry Girl: how on earth did you pick your name? when is your next book coming out? will it have exercise in it?

    MizMag: I don’t think you want me writing for you LOL but I will read!!

  16. Hey, PB2 sounds so cool. The Thai recipe sounds intriguing!! And ScottieDog eats so much peanut butter, it might be good for him.

    And thanks a million for introducing me to Hungry Girl. I just went over there already and found a great salad, and no doubt will find a lot more. Just in time for my fat bet!

    Can’t wait to see the mag!

  17. Ooh – how exciting about the mag!

    Will wrack tiny brain for something for you…. ’cause, after all, doesn’t everyone want to be in the shape the Bag Lady is in??? hahahahahaha

  20. Leah? BL? No paralysis by analysis!

    You both have things to contribute.

    No worries though as opportunity abounds.

    If all goes as planned this shall be monthly.

  22. no deadline yet.

    Keep yer eyes peeled and send now if you’d like.

    All
    Depends
    On
    Advertisers.

    No ads?
    Alas, no mag.

  23. Looking forward to the magazine. Do you have an info sheet/doc with ad rates?

    (btw, I did it. Submitted my “story” to O. with fingers crossed.)

  24. Congrats on your new venture. I think it sounds awesome. Perhaps if I commit to writing about my training for my first 1/2 marathon I’ll actually run it? I’ve been known to “train” for runs and then never actually do them. Sad, I know.

  26. Miz, I can’t wait to see your mag. It’s going to be awesome, I just know it!

    Umm…I kind of want to know if Hungry Girl is really hungry, too.

  27. Napwarden? First issue? Running cover. ME.

    THIS IS NOT ABOUT WEIGHT TRAINING PEOPLE 😉

    Ad sheet? Coming. Email me ad above addy if you want more info no.

    Yes, Melany, Yes.

  29. Hey Carla. I’ll admit, I’m a bit warmerthanlukewarmexcited about this magazine idea and I have a great concept for your yoga entries: a fat man’s experiences with yoga.

    I start a real class today as I’ve mentioned in my blog a couple of times. I’ll start putting something together after that. My goal is to let people who aren’t at the peak of fitness, flexibility and health know that yoga is not just for svelte hotties like you (although it is a good way to become one). Wish me luck!

    Also, I’d ask Hungry Girl one thing: What if I don’t like FiberOne cereal? What then?

    Rock it out, sista. Have a good hump day!

  31. the mag is such a cool idea ;)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My brain is a bit slow this morning so no questions here 😉 but I’d love to see some of the PB2 videos! I’m a slacker…….still need to send my video into FatFigherTV ;)!

  32. Working on BlogHer post on Yoga. If I have enough extra, I might be able to crank another article for you. We shall see…

  35. OOH I would love to contribute! Let me brainstorm somethin’ purdy-like.

    Yay for Hungry Girl coming our way, love that lady. Maybe she could talk to us a little about her experience with Weight Watchers (she does post Point values on all her food reviews & Recipes, after all).

  37. I AM overexcited! So, these articles. More of an authoritative or personal tone? I’m hearing personal but want to make sure.

  39. More of an authoritative or personal tone?

    GREAT question.

    yes 🙂

    I want a mix.

    and again I will let you know on the deadline.

    send now if you want.
    wait to hear.
    YOU DECIDE.
    regardless its:

    word document precisely as you want it to appear!
    (bio links etc)

  40. Oooh yay, I want to do an article.

    I find HG to be overly focused on calories. Some of the products she reviews have no other nutritional value other than being low calorie (eg. all the 100 calorie packs of stuff). I don’t want to be judgmental because a lot of her recipes have tons of nutritional value, but maybe she should have more of a focus on health over just calories?

    Must say I’m a fan of her website though.

  41. Hungry Girl: I’m so curious about how big she has grown. Does she have a whole gaggle of employees now? Or is she still doing most of the work?

  42. I’m more than willing to write up a nice article for MizFit Mag! I’m thinkin something along the lines of talking about my running adventures or somethin’, although I’m sure you’re already swamped with submissions! Hmmm….Let me know if you want other topics, else I will submit something on running.

  44. Woo, that sounds like fun! If things calm down long enough to whip up something, I’d love to submit. Maybe an editorial piece on how freaking life changing it is to go from being extremely obese to a pretty fit gal if that sounds like something you’d want, since that might be a fairly unique perspective I have. If it does go monthly and I miss this time, maybe next time. 😉

  45. As per your post yesterday I wonder who is HG’s guru.

    I also wonder whom she modeled her business on? If she has a work mentor?

  46. Remember that story (methinks old wives tale but thats an entire post) about the PURDY GIRL whom no one asked to the prom because they thought everyone ELSE was gonna ask her?

    so many of you have emailed me concerned that your writing isnt good enough or saying how you are certain Im slammed but maybe next month…

    please to feel free to think of me as the purdypromgurl.

    that is all 🙂

  47. VERY exciting Miz! I would love to participate….I’m willing to bet that within 3 days you’ll have enough content to publish weekly! 😉

  49. omg! question for hungrygirl! i love your recipes but they all seem to use so much splenda and fake sugars! is there any movement towards artificial-sugar-free recipes?

  50. Wow, you’ve got a lot going on with your fitness projects. I’m impressed and will check back ever so often to see what’s happening on your site.

  51. I am going to have to think about this and see if I can come up with something for ya! Great idea though 🙂

  52. Hi MizFit: I`ve been away from the blogosphere for awhile and I was not aware that you were putting a magazine together, that’s excellent!

    • HEY Ive been thinking about you Marelisa.

      And what I hear you saying is you wanna write fer the mag 🙂

      glad youre back!

  54. no worries, mizfit sucketh not 🙂 i am so behind on my blog reading 🙁 but i am beyond excited about your mag miz!! I bought PB2 once, and meant to do so many things with it. too bad it never makes it that far…

  55. See #10 for Hungry Girl question.

    Article submissions–watching for deadline, too! Photos okay?

  57. This is so exciting! I can’t wait 🙂

    I have a fantastic healthy muffin recipe that I LIVE by. I found it originally somewhere, but I’ve tweaked nearly all the ingredients. Does that mean it’s mine? If so, it’s yours! 🙂

  58. YES on pictures Kelley.
    attach with the word document and note INSIDE the doc where they go if you care!
    YES on the NowItsYoursIdLoveItToBeMine muffin recipe as well.

  59. So today I ran out of time in the morning and GASP did not read your post until now, past 8:30pm. Not getting my MizFit fix first thing in the morning totally threw off my day!

    I’m putting my thinking cap on and will hopefully come up with something this weekend 🙂 Also if there’s any specific articles that you’d like, let me know, I’d be happy to oblige.

    You know this already, but I must just say… HEART PB2!

  60. Congratulations on your new magazine. Thank you for the PB2 video. I had heard people eating it on yahoo groups and stuff but didn’t know what PB2 is… unfortunately they don’t sell it with in 100 miles of my home, the good thing is I can order… I just rediscovered PB so I seen this PB2 video just in time.

  62. I am so excited about the magazine I can’t even say. I sent you an email and actually just had a thought about a topic…hmm…

    As for the PB2, I somehow missed the video the first time around so I’m glad you posted it again. I’ve never tried it…but I hear it’s great. 🙂

    I, too, would have to order. I think. I will have to check the health-food store when I go this week.

    V.

  63. Ok, you got me interested with the music column 😀 J/k, I was interested before, but now I’m more interested!

    It’s very cool you’re opening this up to us readers 🙂
