Our 2013 gratitude jar commitment has gone better than I'd dared to hope. Quite frankly I'd envisioned the project as something Id have to nudge the Tornado to grow enthusiastic about. To my surprise, it's SHE who usually grabs our pretty pink papers & announces it's time to write down our thankful thoughts: She enjoys both the process of writing down her gratitude & the ...

In a food fantasy what would YOU eat?
Before I start this post I need to state clearly and openly Im biased. I ADORE LINDSAY. I tell her frequently, and probably STILL NOT ENOUGH, how her blog is one of the first I read each morning because of its fitness by way of personal development twist. She's pretty religious (spiritual?). Im pretty spiritual (religious?). And, even though we dont worship in the same fashion, many of ... Continue Reading
ROCKING OUT (guest post)
I was sitting in the living room folding a load of laundry when I heard my 5 year old daughter in her bedroom. “Hey everybody, thanks for coming out! Does anyone have any questions before we get started with the class?” I stopped what I was doing and went and peeked in on her. Instead of getting shy when she saw me, she puffed right up. “Mama! Did you come to take MY Zumba class?” She ... Continue Reading
We *are* all SUPERWOMEN.
I love the blog Mommy Run Fast. Laura is talented, smart and consistently posts thought provoking content. A few weeks ago I read her musings on the pressure we women put on ourselves/each other to be SUPERWOMEN. I wholly agreed with her assertion we simply CAN NOT BE all things to all people. We can not have it all. Laura shared: Shouldn’t we focus on the stuff that ... Continue Reading
It’s day four hundred and thirty-six…
of striving to live my priorities. Some days I rock it. Many, many I do not. I discovered this picture taped to my computer: and a day of LIVING SCOOTERING not BLOGGING ABOUT LIFE was born. Im off to get my crazy leg on. Because life is too damn short not to. ... Continue Reading
Im STREET STRIDING into spring!
If you listened closely on Saturday night you mightcould have heard a loud SCREAM of YEEEEEE HAW!!! From the moment we moved to Oakland I commenced a count down to March 10th when we'd spring forward and the days would get longer. I didnt rock the darker nights in the ATX, but when it was dark nights & still flip-flop warm outside I rocked them harder. Better. ... Continue Reading
Im a crowd pleaser!
Before we get started with this mishegas, Id love to know how many of you have heard the term CROWD-PLEASER? (glances around. takes note. pretends no one raised hand & proceeds with post) Allow me to explain. The husband & I were chatting recently with a friend when the subject of her daughter's bat mitzvah came up. We remarked how, in Austin, the celebration of this rite of ... Continue Reading
Preview of coming MizFit’tractions.
Need an extra CLUE? It's all in here: "You've finally found something less cool than those pants that rip off into shorts." "My shants. Which you've been gunning for since Day 1. Does it matter to any of you that this actually an extremely efficient cardiovascular workout that could prolong my life? "Hmmm, yeah, but what kind of life?" Any guesses? ... Continue Reading
The power of MONOtasking.
We've established Im a misfit. If theres a normal order to something---chances are I'll do it backwards. My life just unravels unfolds that way. As a result, I was the Queen of Multitasking *before* we made our duo a trio. I was renown (not in a good way) for my ability to simultaneously talk on the phone, email, plan a client's workout, do my own workout, & edit an ... Continue Reading
4 tips for teaching little (& big) people body confidence.
The older I become the more I realize life is cyclical. When I was younger I EXPECTED my body to perform on command---and usually it did. These days when my bod complies I stop, take note and appreciate. I *long* to pass this body confidence on to the Tornado and yet---while it's a huge priority---I pretty much fly by the seat pants fancy tights. I strive each day to beat back ... Continue Reading
