Living my priorities

by

The end of 2011 was kind of a mess for me. It was filled with great things yet I sensed in my heart I was teetering on the edge. I felt thisclose to being someone who gave lip-service to what was important in her life & lived otherwise. I felt thisclose to being the blogger who, while writing a post about the fabulousnessment of family time & family exercise!, snapped at her child ... Continue Reading

**cue confetti shaped like Egg Beaters Whites**

I know Ren Man would readily agree he cares not about my brand partnerships. If Im happy---he's happy. He puts up with my nonstop yammering loves to hear about them, but that's about where it ends.  He rarely voices an opinion. Except for this time. When I shared with him I was partnering with Egg Beaters Whites he pretty much lost his mind. And immediately asked if they'd consider ... Continue Reading

I.Feel.AWESOME.

by

The other morning I woke up so *firmly* on the right side of the bed it frightened the Tornado & Ren Man. And, from a woman whos renown for her adoration of all things early morning, that's saying a lot. I hadnt slept much (d*mn Austin allergies). I had a brimming life-plate & work-plate awaiting me. The house was a diZaster & the sweaty laundry was threatening to take over ... Continue Reading

MizFit Commenter of the Month goes to….

by

Ahh People.Back in the day---if you'll grant me for this post that 2009 was the day--I did a Commenter of the Month blog post.I cant speak for you, but I adored these posts.I reached out to a  consistent commenter (whether she had a blog of her own or not!) and emailed her a list of questions.Random, serious, snarky, silly, seeking her wisdom kind of questions.I ceased doing this when *I* ...

It’s time for a DETOX.

by

Who's still in the need of some Post-Holiday Detoxification? *raises hand* Join me? Im spending the next week focusing on small steps toward cleansing my body of residual latke sluggishness & mental slowness associated with too much trashtastic movie viewing. Detox around here doesnt equal cleanse. Ren Man & I are focusing on lessening (the processed junk, the ... Continue Reading

I am exceedingly soft of core.**

by

I tried to write this whole interaction as a traditional (if that word can be applied to the mishmash I call my blog) post. I wrote. I edited. I changed. I TRASHED. Each time I reread my writings I felt as though they didnt convey *strongly* enough how I felt (without massive overuse of bolding as Im already doing here). Which brings me to the topic of VLOGGING. Brands love video.  ... Continue Reading

Skinny is beautiful.

by

(I'd pick big, heart-shaped muscles over skinny any day.)   For those of you who lovelovelove find posts about my life-minutiae interesting this mightcould be your dream post. For those of you who kinda dont give a shit prefer more informative, motivating missives* you may want to click away in a hurry before the navel-gazing commences. Are both of you ready? Settled in with a ... Continue Reading

No resolution. No cry.

by

I've chatted ad nauseum about how I dont do New Year's resolutions. They frazzle me (I dont thrive on self-imposed life pressure). They cause me to rebel (Im a grownup that way. It's the same reason why, when Ren Man a trainer shouts EIGHT MORE REPS! I quit after 3...). They, in my experience, set me up for failure. I instead choose to think we're gifted with the chance to make new and ... Continue Reading

I’m the 82%.

by

(statistic from In Style magazine) This time last year I wrote a post where I posed the question (to you and to me): if we could flash foward to 1.1.12 what would your BIGGEST healthy living accomplishment from the past year have been? Many of you played along at home chimed in with lofty & creative health living goals you were confident you'd achieve in the next 365 days. I chimed in ... Continue Reading

The personal post: call & response.

by

(...because what's more personal than a pic of me wearing an adult onesie?)   The past few holidayweeks Ive received more emails asking about my personal life...my day-to-day...than about my workout routine. (tis the season? it seems people ask more questions about how I hangout during the holidays than how I stay healthy.  come January, however, it's an entirely different ... Continue Reading
