( This post is kind of an outgrowth of our discussion about doing one thing which scares or challenges you every.single.day. Sure, Tony could have said no---but I wouldn't have known unless I asked.) To know me is to know that I adore workout shoes. Workout clothes. Harvey's seatbelt bags. To know me is to also know that, outside of the realm of fitness, I lack any kind of patience. In ...

Look who I met yesterday….
Those of you who are lifers in the Bumbling Band might remember the time Miz played Oprah for a day. The post where Sally, of Oiselle, gave a free sports bra (shipping included!) to every, single person who commented in exchange for your bitching sharing what YOU wished the apparel industry knew about you. Sally was in town yesterday for a marathon expo & I couldnt let an opportunity ... Continue Reading
P-P-PunkRope!
To know me at all is to know that I oft lament the fact that I don't crosstrain. (seriously. please to note there's no "often enough" anywhere in that sentence. mamahood hath plunged me into a workout routine RUT & Im choosing, for now, to roll with it.) I own the fact that it's just not a priority and, really, very few workout classes/concepts make it seem worth my ... Continue Reading

A MizFit KindaSorta Retraction.
Welcome to Viewer Mail Run Amuck.

Im always begging people for videos. Any of you all. There are few things I wanna see more than members of the Bumbling Band out in the wild doing whatever it is you do when youre ...

Gratitude. Spread the Mood. Last Day O’Freebies. (Go ‘head & Brood.)
Subtitle: Next week is Random Act of Kindness week. Please to celebrate all.week.long. In the world of fitness there are, really, only so many topics. There’s a finite amount of shit stuff about which to write (a vast finite—from yoga to ultra-marathons–but finite none the less) so we each strive to simply put our own twist or stamp on well worn topics. Today’s dead horse which we shall ... Continue Reading
Spotting, Guilt-free Living, & A Chance To (win) Experience Life.
Hey Miz. I know you are a big weight lifter and I had a story I wanted to share and also ask you about. I was at the gym the other morning and a guy asked me if I could spot him (Im a woman. I also was pretty flattered because I must look stronger than I think!). I said no because I wasnt entirely sure what to do. How do I know how to spot someone. First? Thanks for calling me a big weight ... Continue Reading
Let Go Let…BLOG? (Oprah? You listening?)
I mean what I say below, People. Oprah is missing a big form of weight-loss encouragement/weight-loss maintenance support by not acknowledging the power of the blog. There you go, oh Bumbling Band. Please to shout-out to yourselves . Link your blog. Announce your weight loss. Give some linklove to fellow bloggers who have helped you along the proverbial way. Anything ... Continue Reading
One Hundred & One Exercises.
Subtitle: Dont panic. We dont have to do em all today. One at a time & today it's core. And lord knows Miz needs more core work. Thanks Rupal for stopping by & leading the way! Hi Bumbling Band. Before I start core-talking here's a little info on me I am a licensed physical therapist aiming to shed some rehabilitative knowledge in the health and fitness arena. I truly believe ...
