Seeing the world through the Tornado’s eyes.

by

  Ive always said (to Ren Man, to friends, to *anyone* who would listen) all that matters to me is the kind of person the Tornado grows up to be. I dont care how much money she makes. I dont care what profession she chooses. I dont care if she gets married or has children or any of the' traditional' stuffs. I care she learns and truly grasps the notion life is as simple as do unto ... Continue Reading

Hi MizFit readers! My name's Jess. I blog over at Jess Runs and I'm really excited to hang out with you today!

It’s BADMINTON time, Baby!

by

I yammered lovingly on Monday about how I adore our morning routine. Active play is a huge part of what I love about our trio & since we're all morning people we tend to git our PLAYouts on before school rather than after. Additionally, asolutely nothing sets me up for a better day than belly-laughing at how flipping uncoordinated I am some movement as a family.Some of our PLAYouts are ... Continue Reading

Do you make time for YOUR second wave?

by

  Today it is eight months since the Tornado started the Garten of the Kinder. Some days it feels as though she's always been in school, but most days I still miss my sidekick. I pine (yep. dropping the p-word.) so much I had a fleeting notion we mightcould need more children up in herre. (Ill let you digest that for a moment) Beyond the fact Im older than the hills Ill be 43 ... Continue Reading

Hello Mizfit-ers. Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys today. I'm Morgan and I blog at Life After Bagels.

Seasonal allergies & depression: my misfit PSA.

by

To know me (I typically add "in real life" here, but this time Im fairly certain I held it together notsomuch online either) is to know I've struggled recently. I havent been myself. Instead of leaping out of bed excitedly to greet the day---Ive dragged my sorry ass up & to the coffee maker whining the entire way. Lamenting how exhausted I am.  Moaning about how I dont want to work. ... Continue Reading

No flipping time for fitness.

by

  Ive ranted ad nauseum about how my workouts are brief. The thing is, whether your workout du jour is 2 hours or 20 minutes,  it *still* requires you find.the.time. What about those days where, no matter what you do, life conspires to steal your exercise time away? Or the days where, despite valiant efforts, every.single.thing. goes wrong as you strive to steal some YOUtime? (not ... Continue Reading

Four shocking things about Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites.

by

   They're all egg whites.  Nothing else.  By way of full disclosure Im not certain I knew this when I professed my undying love and begged them to hire me before we had our first official conference call.  I'd eaten Egg Beaters for decades.  I was 100% smitten with how easily they slipped protein into my day.  I didnt give much thought to whether they were 100% whites or not---but they ...

Running for the “Non-Runners” (guest post).

by

I am not a natural runner. Running isn’t easy for me. I don’t put on my running shoes and go out for a run expecting the experience to be easy breezy. No matter what my running pace – whether I’m running a race and giving it my all, or telling myself to take it easy on a long run – running is hard work! Throughout college, I worked out regularly, but was never a runner. When I ... Continue Reading
