Last week was heaven. Five full Tornado & Me days which were reminiscent of all our time before Kinder started. We laughed, we cried (seriously. all that one-on-one time was NOT without its bickering!) it was better than Cats. What I loved most was the fact we didn't travel. We hung here & just spent time together. Time which caused me to marvel at how she's matured & ... Continue Reading
The clutter/fitness connection (guest post).
Please to welcome Susan & her new blog. I enjoy them both & know you will as well. I'm certainly not the first person to point out the many connections between weight loss/fitness and decluttering/organizing, but it's been hitting me on such a personal level lately. A year ago, I was diagnosed with type2 Diabetes and made the decision to lose weight and get fit and healthy. I've come a ... Continue Reading
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Jacki Donaldson is a woman I admire and a survivor. I could think of no better person to write today's post and am honored she agreed to do so. There are several reasons I exercise. I do it to maintain my weight (and sometimes to lose weight). I do it for my mental health -- I feel so much better after drenching myself in workout sweat. I do it for my heart, too (just learned I have a ... Continue Reading
JackSh*t, Gabby Reece, PureVia, & me (giveaway post).
Much to his chagrin, the inimitable JackSh*t outed himself in the comments as a juggler. Stalking & emailing ensued then, much to my delight, musings on juggling & weight-loss filled my in-box. THANK YOU JackSh*t! Weight Loss, The Ultimate Juggling Act A Pennsylvania State Trooper pulls over this car on I-81, a couple of miles north of the PA/MD state line. When the trooper ...

Monday Facetime: your questions answered (video post).
This one is all about you. Three of your questions and ones which I think we've all had at one point or another. Hanlie asks: How do I determine which weights are right for me? I realize that anything too light will not produce results, but I don't want to hurt myself either. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7O3AQyZ9hg RickyRae asks: I guess it is my way to avoid struggling to ...

Viewer mail: How many calories to eat?
MizFit, do you know of a good site that is easy to use that will tell me how many calories I need based on my activity? Thanks! This is a question I get repeatedly and one to which I dont have an answer link-wise (translation: please to hit us all up in the comments.) There seem to exist a plethora of sites where you can obsess about look up/log calories & sites where you can figure out ... Continue Reading
National Start! Walking Day.
subtitle: Much to your chagrin, oh International Bumbling Banders, I'm dragging you into the mix as well. Hear ye! Hear ye! Are you all fully aware that tomorrow, April 8th, is National Start! Walking Day? N.S.W.D., sponsored by the American Heart Association, is pretty much just an effort to get us all off our collective asses a day which focuses wholly on the benefits of walking for ...

Viewer Mail. The childish edition.
MizFit, you mention your Tornado a lot but never talk about how you encourage her to be fit and healthy. Then yesterday you had a video where you talked about her not liking sugar. Id love to have some tips on getting my son not to love sugar and to exercise more. he's five. THANKS!!!!! (I think that the emailer was referring to this video when she referenced my Tornado not liking sugar. ... Continue Reading
