Life off the D-list (guest post)

by

“This journey is not just a physical one but also an emotional one as well. Make sure you take care of both sides of that coin.” Me   On the healthiness journey the word diet is often considered a nasty little “four letter word”.  This is not about quick fixes, it’s about life! It doesn’t matter if you have 5 or 150 pounds to deal with; being healthy is a life style. For me there ... Continue Reading

Training for a Summer Race? Don’t Do This (guest post)

by

Dear MizFit readers, My name is Chelsea. I blog at AskFitnessCoach, and today I have a confession: I’m tired of hobbling toward my fitness goals. By hobbling, I don’t mean “moving slowly.” I mean actually limping. You see, when I leave the house to walk Greta, my dog, I take the hill instead of the stairs (it’s three paces closer). Overeager, I launch onto the slope at a funny angle and ... Continue Reading

Another NOT the Biggest Loser (guest post).

by

Please to welcome Katie. Another NOT the Biggest Loser... In the beginning... When I first started this journey I weighed 315 lbs. I did not really have much quality of life. I was taking 7 different medications for various ailments including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux and Type II Diabetes. I also was doing insulin twice a day and sleeping with a CPAP machine. My ... Continue Reading

How a Chubby Mommy Runner Finally Turned Real (guest post)

by

  Some things happen on purpose, because I make them happen. Some things are accidents, but they turn out okay in the end. This is the story of how starting the Chubby Mommy Running Club accidentally on purpose forced me to become a real runner, and how it changed my life. Things that are true: I have been chubby, I have been not-so-chubby, I am a mom, and I am a runner. First of ... Continue Reading

How to Deal With an Injury Without Going Crazy (guest post).

by

  I think it was Jane Austen who said, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an exercise enthusiast in possession of good health must eventually injure himself.” Or something like that.   The point is, we all get injured. Our doctors or surgeons or physical therapists work hard to fix our bodies, but during the In Between you’re all alone.   To ... Continue Reading

When Healthy is Naughty (guest post).

Hi chocolate pudding pies! I’m Katie, of the blog: Chocolate-Covered Katie, where I spend my days giving naughty recipes a healthy makeover. Healthy recipes, such as the Cake-Batter Milkshake. Today, I want to share one of my blog’s most-popular recipes: Fudge Babies. They’re completely sugar-free, but you’d never know! True, I’m used to the taste of healthy foods, but hundreds of ...

How Running Changed My Eating (guest post)

by

Hi MizFit readers! My name is Clare and I blog over at Fitting It All In. I’m so honored to be guest posting today and want to talk to you about two topics near to my heart: exercise and nutrition. Specifically, I’m going to tell you how running changed my eating. Flash back to my senior year of college. I had recovered from a pretty severe eating disorder, but though I gained weight ...

Food Can’t Hug You Back: Lessons in Emotional Eating

by

Before I tell you anything else, let me tell you about my relationship with Pop Tarts.   For at least four years, those little toaster pastries were the bane of my existence. Why? Because they were my personal favorite binge food. Whenever I felt stressed or lonely or sad, I’d tear into a box of them, furiously clawing away at the shiny silver wrappers.   I couldn’t stuff ...

Self-Acceptance Is More Powerful Than Any Diet I Have Ever Been On

by

A few months ago Carla invited me to write a guest post for her. Right around the same time I was in the process of finishing my book, AFTER (the before & after). I wasn’t sure how I was going to end it, because as we all know, this is pretty much a never-ending journey. What I ended up writing for Carla turned out to be the perfect ending for the book. Funny how things work out. ... Continue Reading

Fat Talk and Why I Don’t Do It Anymore (guest post).

by

Hey MizFit lovers! I am Maria and I write a little (not very well known) blog called RealFitMama. I write about everything from almost pooping my pants on a run to running a 5k with my daughter; from exposing myself to all of the internet and then exposing myself for a second time. I love to write. I love to write about food. I love to write about my life. I love to write about my daughters. ... Continue Reading
