Oh people.
I should be embarrassed how excited I am for this week.
The fun & enjoyment I got from the *process* of creating these posts surprised even me.
I rant about how fitness (& life) should include having fun during the journey and not only on the end goal.
These next 5 posts embody that notion for me.
I give you an entire week of challenges brought to us by Egg Beaters 100% egg whites.
A week of videos.
Now, lest you think Ive not been paying attention, I have. I’ve heard you.
You *think* you don’t love the vlogs & I shall spend the next five days attempting to prove you wrong.
I sing.
I throw in free style rhymes & hip hop dance.
I don grown-up apparel & pretend to have a real “office job.”
I employ POP UPs ala VH1’s pop up videos (remember those?) in case you need to turn the volume down & wanna absorb the info that way.
Are you ready?
Yes?
Please to join me in my kitchen for 78 seconds.
I CHALLENGE YOU.
This post is brought to you by Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites. The singing, dancing & kitchen’ercizing are all my own.
Healthy Mama says

March 5, 2012 at 5:56 amA) Love your kitchen
B) You can often find me doing push ups in the kitchen while planning a meal
C) or if I put something in the microwave I try to do mountain climbers the entire time…
Dick Carlson says
March 5, 2012 at 6:00 amMaybe I’ll try pumping a pug up and down over my head!
Miz says
March 5, 2012 at 6:21 amgood idea. I caution you away from using a bullmastiff. take my word on that one…
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
March 5, 2012 at 6:03 amI love the vlogs because they let us get to know the awesome you. And of course the message of being able to fit in fitness wherever is great too!
I think you need a record deal too. 😉
Anda says
March 5, 2012 at 6:19 amLOL yes.
Meredith says
March 5, 2012 at 6:19 amAWESOMENESS.

Deborah (Schmiet) says
March 5, 2012 at 7:04 amI’ve been known to dance about my kitchen. Is that the same thing?! (Naturally my curtains are drawn!)
Miz says
March 5, 2012 at 7:13 amYES MA’AM. Now grab you some soup cans or EB Whites containers and toss in some resistance training 🙂
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says

Tamela says
March 5, 2012 at 7:30 amThis really did give me ideas for how I could burn some calories even on days I am too busy to burn calories.
Thanks!!
Love the song, Miz.

Jess says
March 5, 2012 at 7:54 amOMG I love this video. You are a RIOT! (great tip too, btw).
Meredith @ DareYouTo says
March 5, 2012 at 8:18 amHaha yessss you made me enjoy a vlog. Mission accomplished; well done. You kept it simple and concise, and offered good advice! Too often while i’m cooking, I allow myself to just stand and wait, or sit and read or pop on the TV. This week I’ll try squeezing those moves into my kitchen time!
Melissa says
March 5, 2012 at 8:24 amI adore this! What a fun video!
Shelley B says
March 5, 2012 at 8:32 amGirl, you are crazy! I like it. 🙂
suzanne says
March 5, 2012 at 8:34 amI have to admit I really don’t like cleaning so I put on my wireless mp3 and I dance and have a lot more fun than I would have without music!
Crystal @ Surviving a Teacher's Salary says
March 5, 2012 at 8:34 amFun!! I love vlogging even though I hate being videotaped – a bit of an oxymoron huh? 🙂 Great job!
Cassie says
March 5, 2012 at 9:03 amHow Fun! I think my family would think I am nuts! What a great Vlog.
Sasha says
March 5, 2012 at 9:06 amI can’t stand vlogs as it seems people ramble & it’s a lazy way out of blogging.
This vlog rocked!!!!
Sasha says
March 5, 2012 at 9:07 amBTW do you really do this?
Miz says
March 5, 2012 at 9:21 amI do. In a perfect world id not need to squeeeeeze and fit everything in this way, but my world isn’t perfect. Yet 🙂
Cat @ Breakfast to Bed says
March 5, 2012 at 9:07 amoh dear lord. you did sing. i <3 you.
Rita says
March 5, 2012 at 9:20 amWhat Cat said.
Great tips too.
Miz says
March 5, 2012 at 9:22 amAnd tomorrow I rap 🙂
Kris @Krazy_Kris says
March 5, 2012 at 9:13 amWhat is not to love about a JINGLE + PRESS?
I love this whole concept – I think I read it once w Lisa – about squeezing in minutes….
That was huge for me because the ‘I don’t have time’ thing used to be my biggest barrier.
I love squeezing in minutes – dips, pushups, wall squats or whetever – at work, on the phone (those dreaded conf calls)… or?
and yes – I’ve been known to do laps of walking lunges at dinner prep time – ha!
STUFT Mama says
March 5, 2012 at 9:24 amOkay, I’ve said it before, but you are AWESOME!!!! Love your skirt, love the moves, am WAY jealous of your kitchen, your legs and arms rock, etc. 🙂 I’m excited for you posts this week too! yay!
amber says
March 5, 2012 at 9:31 amI never thought about working out while I cook. Such a fun video.
misszippy1 says
March 5, 2012 at 9:45 amI love your ability to cut loose! You live life to the fullest.
Andrea@WellnessNotes says
March 5, 2012 at 9:48 amGreat video and great message! I love that you had so much fun working on this project!
Lizzie says
March 5, 2012 at 9:49 amFantastic vlog.
Here are my unsolicited vlog thoughts:
They aren’t for everyone. I usually skip them because they are IMO unwatchable.
Bloggers who are strong writers, however, they are uncomfortable on camera.
This causes me as viewer to be uncomfortable.
I think yours work because you are comfortable on screen.
Just my .02
Tamara says
March 5, 2012 at 10:23 amBrilliant!
I am not, never was and never will be a vlog hater. Love seeing your true self moving across my computer screen!
And that running skirt rocks!
xo
janetha says
March 5, 2012 at 10:24 amSo THAT’S the secret to fab arms.. I am off to get a couple cartons so I can tone up for summer 😉 You’re so dang cute. Loved this.
Crabby McSlacker says
March 5, 2012 at 10:29 amLove the slippy kitchen floor split squats, never would have thought of that!
Totally agree that finding exercise opportunities throughout the day can really save some time, though it gets some strange looks when you take this approach to the grocery store. Not that I haven’t…
Karen@WaistingTime says
March 5, 2012 at 11:31 amOkay, I admit it, I enjoyed the vlog:)
Julie says
March 5, 2012 at 11:32 amHaha great! I wish I could do the thing with the towel. I have tried it so many times on so many surfaces and I can’t get the smooth motion down. I should do some upper body stuff while cooking this week.
Carrie with Children says
March 5, 2012 at 12:34 pmMaybe dancing would make me enjoy cooking a little more! Maybe I’ll give it a try 🙂
Kerri O says
March 5, 2012 at 1:24 pmI love the vlogs. 🙂
Roz@weightingfor50 says
March 5, 2012 at 1:30 pmYou are sooooo great! And you have no idea how much I want to meet you in person. (um…that sounded “stalky” didn’t it?? 🙂 ) Have a great Monday, look forward to more of the egg beater/Miz vlogs!!!
Tarah says
March 5, 2012 at 1:34 pmLove love love this!!!
Daniel Wallen says
March 5, 2012 at 2:05 pmI stumbled upon your site from Mark’s Daily Apple and I’m happy I did. This made me smile. I’ll be following your blog. I have been slacking on doing vlogs myself, and this made me want to get right on that. Thanks for the inspiration!
Maren says
March 5, 2012 at 2:07 pmHoly cow look at your muscles! They are to die for!!
Gina says
March 5, 2012 at 2:08 pmBest vlog ever.
Bonnie says
March 5, 2012 at 2:20 pmLove this, Carla! Truth be told, I tell people to do this but don’t always myself! Gotta work on that. I do find ways to get pull ups in when I walk by and mountain climbers done when I’m waiting for water to boil…just gotta keep up with those moves more frequently. Love the idea of and truth of fitting fitness into our lives in a seamless, real fashion…thanks for this reminder today!
FatFighterTV says
March 5, 2012 at 6:44 pmOMG, your singing is awesome! And ummm… nice guns!! 😉

March 5, 2012 at 8:56 pmThose effin question marks are actually hearts. The comment machine hates me. And my hearts. : /
Jasmine says
March 5, 2012 at 9:07 pmOK, that was good. I have to admit it. What a wonderful idea! There’s not a lot out there that I haven’t seen or heard before in some form or another so I gotta’ hand it to ya’ for being so darn creative. 🙂

charlotte says
March 7, 2012 at 7:27 amHoly crap I love your kitchen. I tried painting our cabinets white in the bathroom and now it’s our “ten foot bathroom” because as long as you’re 10 feet away it looks great! ANYHOW. Love this idea of the multi-location Egg Beaters challenges. (Your jingle is awesome!!) And you know I love pop-videos.
Sanjuanita says
March 8, 2012 at 2:22 amI’d never heard of them before you.
Emily @FamilyNLifeLV says
