Watching what our BRAINS eat.

by

The past year Ive grown obsessed with what my family consumes. Like super-obsessed. And, unlike many who're focused on the SUGARS this time of year---Im preoccupied with what our brains are consuming.   This focus was sparked during the Super Bowl when the Tornado was "assigned" to watch the half-time show by her music teacher. Now, I love me some Beyonce, but through the ... Continue Reading

Im not supposed to write this post…

by

So, you know, lets keep it just between us. The problem is, in a way I havent felt in a few weeks, I feel called to write it. I have to write the story whether I share it or not. And, being the misfit I am, Ive grown too excited not to share. Allow me to back up. When last I over-blathered my 'not supposed to share' Id returned to saying: You're just not a priority right ...

What’s in your bra?

by

This post is inspired by too many people and blogs to cite. Too too many to give adequate link-love. From SHAPE Magazine to my fave Coco there have been an abundance of "whats in your gym bag?" or "whats in your purse?" posts. And, seeing as Im the consummate misfit, each time I spy one I think: I dont own a gym bag. I never carry a purse.  I stuff everything in my bra. And, seeing as Im ... Continue Reading

I am no BARRE-bie

by

I am a regular size woman who found her fitness groove at the ballet barre. Before walking into my first class, I had the following thought process that perhaps you too can identify with: I am too FAT to take this class. I am going to suck at this because I don't have the right body shape: long, lean, ballerina body. When I was six years old, I quit ballet. Ooops I missed out on the ... Continue Reading

Domestic Violence Awareness month: Free Spirit.

by

Ive tweeted, facebooked & yammered here about the many welcoming & interesting people Ive met since our move.  Joshua Safran is a prime one example.  Ive invited him here today to chat about his memoir, Free Spirit, because I wanted you *all* to meet Joshua Safran, too.  His story is an important one and one rarely told from the male perspective.   Carla is my friend and ...

How to purchase and care for a yoga mat.

by

Once upon a time I was invited to speak at an event in NYC.  The event was great, but what eclipsed even that were the people I met.  People like Danielle. One word for you about Danielle:  TotalGirlCurshIBeggedHerToComeHereAndGuestPostLovenessment. Please to enjoy. 15 years ago, I took my first yoga class and borrowed a mat- it smelled like feet and I couldn’t stop thinking about the ... Continue Reading

If we had coffee…

by

A little while ago I stumbled upon this blog post. It resonated with me because it’s precisely how blog reading feels/is to me. I read blogs in the morning with my coffee *before* the zaniness of my day begins. I also liked the concept because my favorite blogs to *read* are written in that manner. As if we were just two friends getting together and chatting over coffee. Ive got lots ... Continue Reading

Hello fellow Mizfit fans! My name is Lindsay and I’m a Registered Dietitian who blogs over at The Lean Green Bean. I’m so excited to be making an appearance over here today to chat about one of my favorite activities- jumping rope! (MizFit note: I begged her to come. I love me some Lean Green Bean.) I used to think jump ropes were nothing more than a childhood throwback….a tool used by ... Continue Reading

What EGGSactly does organic & cagefree mean?

by

I am the Eggland’s Best brand ambassador and the below is a sponsored post. The topic, opinions, & fact I badgered the owner of my FAVE Oakland coffee shop to carry them are all my own.   Weve chatted before about how careful I am with regards to brands I'll partner with. We've dialogued at length the fact I must *already* use a product daily before I'll reach out to them ... Continue Reading
