4 tips for finding resistance training motivation

by

it's crass but it's true. Whether it's my overzealousnessment (technical term) or just happenstance---people associate me with an unflagging love of resistance training. When conversation turns to exercise people invariably turn to me & lament a lack of resistance training motivation. "I want to--I just cant seem to get myself to start." is the typical refrain. Or anything and ... Continue Reading

Deconveniencing our lives.

by

Im obsessed with Blue Zones. (Like obsessedobsessed since the book came out in 2009.) Ive integrated the Blue Zone Power 9 notion into my personal mission statement & it's one of the reasons I touched down in my new city and immediately searched for purpose/a way to "belong." It's why I PLAYout not WORKout. For *me* that's movement which comes naturally. I strive to eat only ... Continue Reading

YES! Day.

by

Last month I surprised the Tornado with a day of YES. Surprised being the operative word as I kinda surprised myself when the announcement exited my mouth. The day before had been filled with no's. NO you cant ride your bike in the street---cars are coming! NO you cant place the stool on top of the chair to reach a mug---you might fall! NOs which were mainly about ... Continue Reading

WE’RE NOT DOGS. WE’VE EARNED BETTER.

by

Oh people. To know me is to know I blog with an editorial calendar. I write blog posts. I put away said posts. I edit edit edit posts (yep. those long rambles you read are INDEED the shorter versions. terrifying--I realize.). I publish posts. Im simply no longer the off-the-cuff-blogger I was when writing as a mama-blogger perpetually on the verge. And, for the most part, this ... Continue Reading

The last summer bucket list item.

by

The summer is done. Today's the end I do mean. We've had fun. We've made friends. Oh the things we have seen!   We created a list. Of things big and things small. THIS SUMMER we said WE WILL *SO* DO THEM ALL!!   We saw movies. Slept out. (till we ran scared inside!) Hit up dogs parks, got FANCY. She BIKED. I did STRIDE.   Nails ... Continue Reading

Five tips for planning a FITNESS-staycation!

by

Ahhh, summer. Warmer temps (or cooler if youre a transplant as am I). Longer days (love. Im a misfit who thrives in sunlight). Almost over (thirteen days till school) SAD FACE. The Tornado & I would leap (lunge? burpee?) at a last hurrah!! vaycay, but sadly our bank account begs to differ. We are not despairing. A trip to a fab fitness destination may not be in ...

We’re STREAKING!!!

by

Unless it's your first time reading my blog, seeing me tweet , skimming my repetitive ever exciting instagram feed, hanging with me on the book of the face or TALKING TO ME EVER---you know Im not a runner. I love the promise of the run (it looks BADASS to just snag shoes, canine and GO!) yet Ive never found a mental happy running place. Which is also reason number ONE many of you were ...

The CLEANSE (guest post).

by

This post is both awesome & bizarre. It's the colliding of two worlds (my less than healthy college years & my new Mama-days).  And, for a blogger who writes as if no one is reading, it still surprises me when people from my past pop up in comments/greet me on twitter. Alison is a friend, an amazing, inspiring runner and, as of recently, a CLEANSER.  Ive invited her here to share her ... Continue Reading

How do you FRAME yourself?

by

(A small sampling. I am, indeed, an addict.) Ok, People. Allow myself....to date myself. To know me. To *really* know me. Is to realize I aspire to be Elton John. (if you're young & befuddled please to see caption under photo above) It's addiction so raging & pricey Ive been informed decided I was allowed no other. Fancy shoes? Nah. For the most part Im happy with ... Continue Reading

MIZ on a pole.

by

  I know.  The title was kinda mean. It actually didnt occur to me what you mightcould surmise this post was about until it was written, edited and I *stopped* to reread the title and then grabbed a sharpie and some construction paper. Alas it's not about SEXXXY MizFit time.  (although Id like to explore that. OAKLAND? lets do a class!) It's about PLAYouts. It's about ... Continue Reading
