I blame this post on the fact I made a not-that-funny joke about teaching therapy-doodle-Charming to slackline. Afterward, in my inimitable way, I grew obsessed with the parallels between slacklining and life. I used to regale anyone who would listen with stories about what terrible balance I had. If you handed me a BOSU ball I'd mount, stand proudly aloft for a few seconds...then ... Continue Reading
Hopscotch with me.
I know. I'm gonna stop & gaze lovingly at the photo above as well she types pridefully pretending the whole 'net is shocked how quickly the Tornado is growing, too. The Tornado was four and, more even than the fact I wanna eat her face off she's so little and sweet, the photo symbolizes for me the lost art of exercise as FUN. Necklace in hand. Hair flying. Chortles of joy I ... Continue Reading
Four ways slacklining parallels my life.
I blame this post on the fact I made a not-that-funny joke about teaching Charming to slackline. Afterward, in my inimitable way, I grew obsessed with the parallels between slacklining and my life. I used to tell people--everyone. anyone who would listen.---what terrible balance I had. If you handed me a BOSU ball I'd mount, stand pridefully aloft for a fleeting few seconds----and ...

The secret to YOUR 2013 success.
Welcome to January. The month where the universe attempts to exploit our insecurities by promising it holds the (expensive) key to a healthier, happier and thinner us. Most proffer a quick-fix solution to goal achievement which, while not entirely ethical, actually makes some sense. Who wouldn’t, if given the choice between fast and easy or arduous and sweaty, pick the former? (thats not ... Continue Reading
Juggling for fitness (video post).
Subtitle: As I mentioned to these guys Ive recommitted to learning to juggle. By the time I turn 41 I shall be amazing! mediocre. I’d love to say this topic choice stemmed wholly from a quirky desire to seek alternative fitness--- but that would be a lie. Inspiration came from a much more mundane place. As I lamented to these women my inability to juggle work-commitments/MizFit/mamahood at ... Continue Reading

Balance: what’s normal?
Miz, I am a new reader and, while I really enjoy your rhymes, I can't help but wonder: is there a story here? Am I missing something? This email made me laugh as, not only do I receive many like this (people seemingly perplexed by my penchant for rhyming/thinking that they MUST be missing an inside joke), the answer really is just a plain ole NO. No story. No missing anything. Im just a ... Continue Reading

Yes, People, I know youve seen a lot of my mug up in herre lately. A full week of videos now capped off with a Monday facetime. But this video is different.

Please to insert loud shouts & cheers (and ... Continue Reading
