Before I start this post I need to state clearly and openly Im biased. I ADORE LINDSAY. I tell her frequently, and probably STILL NOT ENOUGH, how her blog is one of the first I read each morning because of its fitness by way of personal development twist. She's pretty religious (spiritual?). Im pretty spiritual (religious?). And, even though we dont worship in the same fashion, many of ... Continue Reading
We *are* all SUPERWOMEN.
I love the blog Mommy Run Fast. Laura is talented, smart and consistently posts thought provoking content. A few weeks ago I read her musings on the pressure we women put on ourselves/each other to be SUPERWOMEN. I wholly agreed with her assertion we simply CAN NOT BE all things to all people. We can not have it all. Laura shared: Shouldn’t we focus on the stuff that ... Continue Reading
Im a crowd pleaser!
Before we get started with this mishegas, Id love to know how many of you have heard the term CROWD-PLEASER? (glances around. takes note. pretends no one raised hand & proceeds with post) Allow me to explain. The husband & I were chatting recently with a friend when the subject of her daughter's bat mitzvah came up. We remarked how, in Austin, the celebration of this rite of ... Continue Reading
The power of MONOtasking.
We've established Im a misfit. If theres a normal order to something---chances are I'll do it backwards. My life just unravels unfolds that way. As a result, I was the Queen of Multitasking *before* we made our duo a trio. I was renown (not in a good way) for my ability to simultaneously talk on the phone, email, plan a client's workout, do my own workout, & edit an ... Continue Reading
4 tips for teaching little (& big) people body confidence.
The older I become the more I realize life is cyclical. When I was younger I EXPECTED my body to perform on command---and usually it did. These days when my bod complies I stop, take note and appreciate. I *long* to pass this body confidence on to the Tornado and yet---while it's a huge priority---I pretty much fly by the seat pants fancy tights. I strive each day to beat back ... Continue Reading
I am six. Or twelve.
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
OAKtown six weeks later…
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
Strong is NOT the new SEXY (my thoughts)
I write this post with the acknowledgement SEXY is nothing to which I ever aspired. It could be nature (good lord I was NOT the child who loved dress-up, make-up or sultrysexy styles). It could be nurture (I was raised on FREE TO BE YOU AND ME. William? You may have a doll! Run ATALANTA run!!) It just is. Even before I discovered my love of weights (& shifted even MORE to ...

BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!
click for a free sample chapter! Yes, People, it's the last day of the first month of the New Year. Or, translated, almost the month where most of us realize we've dropped our goals & it's time to get back on track. Dropped, changed, tweaked, revamped---anything but failed because failure isnt an option with ELEVEN months left to git back to our healthy living ... Continue Reading
Im in love with Sweet Relish!
OK People. Ive made no secret of the fact Im not a fan of Pinterest. Ive been repeatedly admonished Ill never be a big, behemoth brand *whew* thank goodness right? if I dont get to pinning. And Im ok with that. As a result, when the opportunity to partner with Sweet Relish came along, I almost missed out on a very.cool.thing. because I immediately assumed it was a Pinterest ...
