Mama <3's Shrek Shakes. Child <3's Shrek Shakes. Ā The longer Iām a parent the more clearly I see the link between how I'm living and how my family is thriving. Or not thriving. The longer the moniker MAMA is attached to me the more clear the meaning becomes behind the (tweaked) quote: If mama aint healthy aint nobody healthy I'm a misfit. I'm BRAZEN non-traditional. I was ... Continue Reading
Roller Derby FITNESS…
Because nothing says GOOD LAWD I NEED TO BLOW ME OFF SOME MOVING-STRESS STEAM like skating around yer own garage. And no. Im *so* not going to get all "Top five health benefits of roller skating" on you today either. This experience was not about uber-serious health benefits (although if you seek that theres an article here which plainly states skating ... Continue Reading
It’s BADMINTON time, Baby!
I yammered lovingly on Monday about how I adore our morning routine. Active play is a huge part of what I love about our trio & since we're all morning people we tend to git our PLAYouts on before school rather than after. Additionally, asolutely nothing sets me up for a better day than belly-laughing at how flipping uncoordinated I am some movement as a family.Some of our PLAYouts are ... Continue Reading

MizFit on TV talkin’ about PLAYouts.
While I wasn't too into the whole Austin's Fittest Moms photo-shoot idea----I am really appreciating the opportunity to share with other moms how important it is to GET OUT AND PLAY with our children. Sure normal person traditional exercise is has its place, Ive just found the afternoons I spend with the Tornado being SILLYactive are some of our best times together. (If youre checking in via ...

Living not blogging.
As of last night Im back here: Hmmm. I guess the pic isnt all that obvious. It's the Austin airport. And, since Ren. Man & the Tornado were unable to come to Disney with me (*cue no confetti & nothing shaped like the three of us frolicking arm in arm through the magic castle*), today Im living not blogging. Today Im hanging with my own personal princess: Today Im spending ... Continue Reading
Holiday kids-at-home workouts.
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 rollinā with my ... Continue Reading
Gaiam Balanceball Chair: it’s a family affair (giveaway post).
KNOCK KNOCK on my door. A treat plopped outside. A FREEBIE-- FTC (that Id never hide!) A Balanceball chair. Goodgosh can it be? A corebuildingTREAT! Less back pain for me! Into it I ripped. would this thing take days? Would instructions confuse? Leave me in a haze? Ren Man jumped in. "Let me help! Look at me! Im inflating the ball! Thus far all's E-Z!" Seeing the ...

First Person Friday: A day in the life.
I'd say this is kind of a rehash---but so is my life.Ā And, if you skim read carefully, you'll see it's not a repost. My life is simply Groundhog's Day. A Day in the Life of MizFit: Immediately after waking I head here (yes it's the crack of dawn. no I dont set an alarm. Im a firm believer in the notion if Im not up-at-crack & excited for the day I must need more sleep. Im always ... Continue Reading
Summertime Kids-at-Home Workouts.
Subtitle: Yeah, at first I thought these people were messing with me via email as we'd just done a podcast on this very subject! Hiya Miz, I need help. You talked last week about Living Not Blogging and I was jealous. You work in your playouts :) even with your Tornado around and I've become derailed and the summer has just started. How on earth can I fit in fitness in a hectic summer ... Continue Reading
