Virtual Blogger Talent Show.

Ok, People. To know me off-blog or on Twitter is to know that my world has been a little tinged with sadness lately. (This is where I ask, again, if you are the praying sort that you toss one out for my friend today. Please to add in the words healing and courage.) As a result Ive been looking for ways to add levity into my world. Things like this as who can feel sad when she's squishing mud ... Continue Reading

A MizFit Hanukkah.

by

How flattered am I that you guys are even remotely interested in how we celebrate up in herre? While it doesnt make for a riveting post please to enjoy the minutiae of my life. This year was different from years past in that the Tornado really "got" that something special was/would be happening for eight days. Mostly, however, she was pumped as always that her dad came home ... Continue Reading

Holiday kids-at-home workouts.

by

I was surprised last weekend when I received a bunch of emails begging lovingly inquiring about tips for getting in the workouts with kids underfoot. For some reason I'd erroneously assumed schools were out on Christmas eve, Christmas day & resumed Monday the 28th. (Naive much? I know---but with no child in school yet its amazing how fast we forget...) Since I'm always rollin’ with my ... Continue Reading

MizFit’s Favorite Things.

by

Ren Man frequently mocks me I often laugh at myself that Im a creature of habit in some ways and entirely NOT in others. I love to shake up my daily/workout routine yet have a handful of products/on-the-run snacks which I find I use day in day out. Week in. Week out. Today I wanted to share some of those with you simply because I adore them and spend my hard earned cash on them. Now, ... Continue Reading

Pediatricians: are you listening? (part two)

by

This following is a repost from last July. I was reminded of it after I brought the Tornado to her four year check-up with a *new* pediatrician. Suffice it to say there was nary a mention of her size beyond compliments on how big and STRONG she'd become. The doctor even asked her to stand on one foot which allowed the Tornado to display her tree-pose prowess (something which delighted her ... Continue Reading

Home is where the health is (video post).

by

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M5GBEJw4hY This year I'm keeping my home where the health is by: Using my new wii (yay early hanukkah gift!!) for some restorative yoga instead of plopping on the couch to read when the Tornado is *finally* asleep for the night. Being kind to myself & embracing the decadence of the season....when I'm not at home.  I plan to stick to my 11 months ... Continue Reading

First Person Friday: A MizFit Shabbat.

by

OK, so the picture isn't too good. Ren Man not thrilled I was intruding on our reflection time with picture taking, but you get the idea. Every Friday Ren Man leaves work early (really early given he works till 8 most nights), the Tornado & I bake buy challah, and the three of us meet at home for some reflection time. Being raised JewISH Ive some recollection of lighting Shabbat ... Continue Reading

Personal Training with Jackie Warner (video/giveaway).

by

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljcBCtCdwDY As I have rhymingly yammered above---I love me some Jackie Warner. Yes, I agree that her tv show kinda plummeted in the final season (Im more about the dumbbells than the drama) but I adored how she truly cared about & unflaggingly encouraged/supported her clients. Her style reminded me so much of how I trained people when I owned my studio ... Continue Reading

Happy Birthday Tornado.

by

Before we met you Id hear this song play & know its words were intended for your ears. I feel blessed to call you my daughter and honored to watch as you write the story of your life. I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the ...
