Be your own self-care SUPERHERO.

by

This was *so* not the plan for today, but I really need me a tiny break to snag back my superhero status & SPREAD the superhero smiles around OAKtown.  Cape and ALL Im off to cavort & cause trouble. And LAUGH.  Because for ME laughter is the ultimate in self-care. Guess what? Ive decided to change things up today. Spontaneously. Join me? ... Continue Reading

I AM a foodie (CaitPlusAte responds)

by

I’m a foodie. I say that with total, complete confidence. The statement is 100% truthful. Now ask me WHY I call myself a foodie. Well now, I’m happy you asked! I’m a foodie because the perfect dish awakens a passion inside of me. The first smell of a long-loved favorite meal’s aroma induces hours’ worth of memories. A mind-blowing bite, chewed and swallowed in seconds, sparks minutes upon ... Continue Reading

I am *not* a foodie.

by

  Moving to Oakland has been similar to the experience of adding a child to our twosome. What people insisted Id struggle with ("you will never pee alone again!!") Ive found to be experiences I dont mind. Things no one thought to mention (“you wont ever sleep soundly again. if shes not sleeping then you wont. if shes too quiet then you wont sleep. if shes at a sleepover then you wont ...

I am six. Or twelve.

by

This month MizFit turns six. This year marks twelve years since I started blogging. (I began, in 2001, as a blogger for hire for Roger Applewhite.  He no longer blogs, but hes TRULY the O.G. of fitness blogging. Roger posted daily pics of himself back in 1999 when NO ONE thought this "online writing" thing would last.) Id not planned to "pause for applause" (the Tornados new fave ... Continue Reading

Living not blogging: Presidents Day edition.

by

Yes, People. Even with the relocation & move to a new 'hood I am still that mom. Im excited when the Tornado has a day off from school & even MORE SO when it's not because Ive slunk up to the office, fabricated an excuse & stolen her away for a day of play.  Today, to my delight, is a school-sanction playday. An opportunity to git up early, work-like-the-wind, and spend ... Continue Reading

Why You Shouldn’t Make Weight Loss Your Primary Goal

by

Please to welcome our friend, COACH CALORIE.  Im a huge fan of Tony and his fantastic staff of writers...   Are you trying to lose weight? There’s nothing wrong with that. Weight loss is a goal for millions of people every year. However, what most people tend to forget is that weight loss is a side effect of living a healthy lifestyle. If you can stop focusing on the day to day ... Continue Reading

Sweet Relish 2 (AKA what Miz wants for Valentines Day).

by

Yes. Yep. Im still smitten with the secret sauce. Sure this is a sponsored post (hiya FTC.  the opinions here are all my own!) but the true indication of a sponsored post being a great fit? I cannot stop yammering about the RELISH. At the playground hanging with the other mamas? I yammer. Finished praying at synagogue & hanging at the mix&mingle time? Im talking about ...

OAKtown six weeks later…

by

It blows my mind out, as the Tornado no longer says, Ive been in OAKLAND for six weeks. It feels as though it's the perfect time to look backward (fleetingly! ephemerally!!) take stock and see how well I did (or didnt do) with those lies I told myself back in Austin. I give you my OAKtown musings.  (Too long.  Too rambling.  You'll have that.) I freakin love the diversity.  VISUALLY.  ... Continue Reading

Im a TOUGH GIRL…

by

skirt sports skirt lover. Once upon a time I was a misfit living in the LOVERLY HOTHOT CLIMES OF Austin. I adored it --- but there were stuffs I coveted which were simply too hot to wear in the ATX. As in this:   Id hear friends rave about the Tough Girl Skirt. I knew in order to ever wear one in TX Id have to turn the A/C down down down & romp around the ... Continue Reading

Yoga for the Head+Heart (guest post).

by

I’m so honored to be sharing with you my passion and heart for yoga. I had the delightful pleasure of meeting MizFit on the yoga mat at our yoga photobooth at the Fitbloggin Conference several months back. If you’ve never done yoga, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Normally, you have to show up on the mat a few several classes, get into downward dog a few dozen times, and relax ...
