Well, People, because apparently I need to learn the same lessons over and over and over again I'm a bit bent. I'm a right angle. Again :-) I am working to git straight for yet another time (far sooner than last. so there's that.) & to that end Im off to a yoga workshop today. (I know. I'm shocked too. want your jaw to drop even more? REN MAN is coming, too.) Wish me luck. I ... Continue Reading
Lee Labrada: a dad balancing work, life and family.
Once upon a time, I was a youngster. I was footloose and fancy free. (translation: I was dating my now-husband, we had no dependents (canine or otherwise) & we could travel at a moments notice.) It was around this time we both became more interested in bodybuilding (I had yet to compete. that zaniness came later.) and we'd frequently road trip to watch the Pros compete. One of ...

Four tips for flying your freak flag.
Hi Carla, I was going to post this as a comment, but it seemed too embarrassing (I guess I'm not flying my freak flag yet) to be over 40 and still looking for approval/wanting to please others. "Love this message, but somewhat stuck on the implementation. How do I quit looking for external validation when it's a 40+ year habit?" Anyway, maybe others have the same question and maybe you have ... Continue Reading
IMPORTANT LEARNINGS FROM YOUNGER YEARNINGS (guest post)
This guest post is at my request. OK I begged. Not only do I admire Christie as a woman-entrepreneur (MONKEY MAT anyone??) I'm continually inspired by her as a person. Her amazing, funny, wise mother was one of my dearest friends and, as they say, the apple has not fallen far from the tree. Please to enjoy. Be happy. Own an island. My childhood goals one of my cousins recently ... Continue Reading
Teva Fuse-Ion shoes. (Ren Man review)
I love Tevas. I have a pair of the original sandals with the ankle straps. I don't know how old they are, but it's more than 10 years. (MizFit note: Ive known him for 19. I cant recall a time he didnt have these shoes...) I still wear them all the time. I remember when Teva stopped making this style. I was devastated - not knowing that Tevas are so hardy that I would never ... Continue Reading
Life gets messy (guest post).
There are many challenges that we invite into our lives like: intentionally putting an extra 10 pounds on the leg press, deciding to run another mile, or holding back your sarcastic comments when Aunt Deidre comes for a visit. Then there are the challenges that pop up as unexpected road bumps.  A disagreement with a friend, a failing grade from your son’s math teacher, or a flat tire ... Continue Reading
PLAYouts: Doing the sprinkler.
To know me is to be aware---especially in the summer---we try really, really, really hard never to WORKout. EVER. Life is too short (and the summer, to my chagrin, too too fleeting) to allow exercise to be yet another arena where we have to toil. Where we're forced to (fingerquote) work (unFQ). As a result, Ive chosen to morph the bulk of my fitness into fun. I've decided ... Continue Reading
Living not blogging: birthday edition*
I know. I, too, feel, as though Ive yammered about my birthday coming! soon! for the past 364 days. Ive prattled on and on and on & it's finally here. And, after all that, Ive decided to spend today pretty much in the same fashion as I spend every other. Ala the notion of happiness not being having everything you want---but wanting everything you have. I shall spend time ... Continue Reading
We’ve gots new FREAK FLAGS (Mad Pax giveaway)
We like Shrek the movie(s). We LOVE Shrek the Musical. It’s cute, filled with catchy tunes & it’s a show all of us adore which isnt always the case. The Tornado & I, however, share the same favorite song. The first time we saw the musical she immediately leaped to her feet & sang & danced & shrieked with wild abandon. And it freaked me out a bit ... Continue Reading
Om wearing BLAKE BRODY yoga shoes…
and I like it. For those of you playing along at home I AM still in the mode of saying 'no thank you' to most offers for product reviews. As a reader it isnt what I like to typically see on blogs (Im nosy. I want your thoughts, feelings and navel-gazings) and I always assume you're precisely as I am. So Ive decided to say no to reviews. Until I change my mind...as every misfit reserves ... Continue Reading
