Breath walking: misfit style.

by

Hello my name is MizFit (hi mizfit!) and Im a fast walker. It's not so much if we're ambling together but alone I tend to walk purposefully---with a destination in mind. A destination and, typically, said destination has a time associated with it. I stride purposefully, quickly, and exceedingly mindlessly. As a result, my recent trip to NYC was a tremendous gift.  I had meetings ... Continue Reading

Miz’ mouth meets KOMBUCHA.

Once upon a time. A long long time ago. There was a misfit who decided to get a new tattoo. A leg sleeve! She arrived early for her appointment and discovered her artist finishing the previous client. Before she began tattooing our misfit the artist grabbed a bottle of murky stuff and drank. "EW!!" Our misfit exclaimed.  "That looks gross."  "What interesting liquid ... Continue Reading

Why I exercise intuitively.

by

  I became an intuitive eater long before I tapped into the notion of intuitive exercise. For some reason I was able to trust my body's "knowing" with regards to food yet was slow on the proverbial uptake with heeding its messaging about workouts. I created a workout plan. I followed said plain. Period. I do think some of missing the intuitive exercise message happened because of ... Continue Reading

Im LEANING BACK…

by

For today I shall AVOID all controversy over the book LEAN IN. We've chatted about it a bit over on the book of the FACE and, in a way, it feels as though we're flogging a dead horse at this point. My short, misfit version is wondering if it isnt time for men to grow a little LESS confident and lean *back* in the workplace. Which, now that I reread, mightcould be why I do best as a ...

PLAYout at the playground: pull-ups.

by

The other morning a mom at the Tornado's school remarked how fit I look.   She then continued on to say: You must workout all the time. (Aside: You'd be proud.  I spared her my whole CONSISTENCY rant *and* yammers about how LIFE IS MY SPORT.  Ive noticed people's eyes tend to glaze over so Im reigning it in these days.  Go me!) In the moment where I paused & considered  how to respond ... Continue Reading

Are you MOTIVATED or are you COMMITTED? (guest post)

by

When I first started my fitness journey it was a chore. Workouts were just another thing to get out of the way, something to check off the list. Prepping a days worth of meals for the next day of work, school and gym before I could go to bed was a necessary part of my schedule. I looked forward to weekends were I could sleep in, have a “free day” for my favorite foods and sit on the couch ... Continue Reading
