Dear Bob, Please know that it is with a heavy heart I am writing you to inform you that you kind of get on my nerves. I want to like you (and I even stopped to ponder if my dis-love was triggered by my significant doctor-crush on Mehmet but, alas, it is not). I have tried but as of yet to no avail. Every time I see you on the (great & mighty) Oprah Show you sorta come across as ... Continue Reading
Viewer Mail.
This is more of a viewer mail snippet. I really do try and keep these anonymous (even though most of you say you dont care) so I hacked away at this email and ended up with this; My mom and I are going on a yoga and nutritious eating retreat together!! At Shawnee Resort in the Poconos!! Why did I choose to share this with you? A few reasons. Sure there is this. Im feeling it and ... Continue Reading
Tues Tips & Trends
Face Yoga. MizFit has one word: harrumph. The first 8000 times I saw this I thoughts "eh, this too shall pass." Now? Im wondering if it really hath become a trend in the set-with-whom-MizFit-doesnt-run. I dont get it. why do exercise gurus think they can exploit our 'oh no! we're aging!!' insecurities with (stupid QVC items & now) yoga for our face so that we can "soften" our ... Continue Reading

You know the drill. Email me your mailing address and your hat shall be on its way. Shiver me timbers! ... Continue Reading
Gotta give a fast comments-shout out…
in case you dont read those. While MizFit might choose to go this route (she can be lazy that way) one commenter suggested this: Little tip for MizFit readers: every day, write down or say OUT LOUD 10 positive things about yourself. When times have been bad, I have literally said things like “took shower this morning” and “remembered to eat”. Today? I took excellent care of my wee one ... Continue Reading
Link Love and a Friday FREEBIE!
First, foremost, and of the UTMOST importance is this. Read it. Heed it. Spread the word. Sure some of it is kind of silly (as if we're gonna show up for yoga class with our feet crammed into golf shoes) but if it stops just one person from yanking the lat pulldown bar *behind* her head I shall be a happy woman. (unsure what a lat pull down even IS? stay tuned.) And Im beyond curious ... Continue Reading
food glorious food.
Ok, People, here's the deal. I initially planned to do the recipe/food thing once a week (if by initially planned you mean I decided to do it and MizFit struggles with an inability to let chickenbus go once she commences---which I do). As we've clearly established Im not the one to whom friends and family turn for recipes. Sure, I could just cut & paste or link to cooking light ... Continue Reading

I have been trying to get in some type of cardio workout at least four times a week. What are some general guidelines on the length of time you should be trying to do cardio? I have heard that 20 minutes a day is all you need but that seems so short. What would you recommend for someone trying to do cardio to feel more in shape and maybe lose a pound or ten along the way? I loved this ... Continue Reading
Dont lie.
You tape oprah too and watch her when you can sneak in a spare moment or three. MizFit is all about the selective Oprah taping (as in I pass on Nate but am always INININ for Dr. Oz. I HEART the Oz) and had her tivo at the ready for yesterday's Valerie Bertinelli love-fest. While I was a smidge saddened to hear Barbara Cooper use the word bump (and not in reference to knocking against ... Continue Reading
