caught in the F.W.B. act. I've talked before about the fact we DON'T do food sneaks. We each need to do what works best for our families and here slipping in super-foods would mean the Husband Child isn't building life-long good habits. We are tremendous fans of the open sneak---but that's not what's on my mind today. Today we are focusing on the H-WORD. The healthy. The word which, ... Continue Reading
How to get your child to gobble healthy foods.
Lately we (the Royal. the 'social media we') have been chatting a lot about PUFFER FISH. How I've gotten the Child excited about it. Why I don't just puree, sneak & call it a win. Today I'm hanging over at Venus Williams' place and sharing my why. Revealing my getting-the-child-to-consume-healthy-stuffs-happily how. Join me? Eleven by Venus is, indeed, a ... Continue Reading
The foods my Grandmas ate.
Many days around here it feels as though life is pretty complicated. Important decisions to be made. Work to be completed. Schedules to be juggled. Priorities to be identified. Priorities to be *lived* & not lip-serviced. All that. Not to mention our commitment to being healthy. Thankfully, the more I ponder our healthy living, the more I realize a return to ...

Do you sneak food?
This post has been languishing in drafts for a while. It's something I think about pretty much daily---yet I wasnt sure it was completely post-worthy until a Twitter chat last week. The chat focused on healthy living & children (starting NOW please to feel free to substitute spouse/partner/friend for the words CHILD or KID). One of the questions asked for our best tips on sneaking ... Continue Reading
Im *supposed* to be running with Jared (giveaway).
(Why yes, that IS both my chagrin-face & what Id have worn to run with Jared.) Oh people. It's much to my chagrin that Im writing this post from the ATX. Sure I love me some Austin. Yes I adore me some being with the family time. But between the (royal) two of us Im pretty damn disappointed to find myself here on this Monday. Why you ask? (thanks. you always seem to know just ... Continue Reading
Subway breakfast review (Ren Man guest post/giveaway).
Let me preface this review of the Subway Western Egg White & Cheese English Muffin Melt by noting that we live in Austin, Texas, the recognized breakfast taco capital of the world according to the New York Times. This morning because because my wife totally and completely begged me instead of walking across the street to El Arroyo for a breakfast taco fix, I went to the Subway next ... Continue Reading
MizFit, NASCAR, & The Ellen Show.
(A rainy, soggy, messy play in one act) Everything started out ok. Ellen was way excited about our little trip. (It seems even she felt a bit stifled having lolled about in my glove compartment for far too long) She arrived bright & early Saturday morning inexplicably wearing all white (this may or may not be due to the fact Ren Man accidentally crumpled up/tossed out the Ellen ...

This post is all about you. The collective you. The you I was fortunate enough to meet & connect with last weekend who asked me about all this. The greater you who fill my in-box & twitter stream (which I adore) with your questions about health, fitness, tattoos, and more. Lately Ive been asked variations on the questions below a *bunch*: I'm ready to change my eating habits ... Continue Reading

The Spark & MizFit (video/give away post)
For your consideration: MizFit Hearts the Spark: a brief yammering of love & bestowing of this: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uhAJdYRNLA As I yammered waxed eloquently about in the video I am a tremendous fan of the community that Spark People has built.
