adult-ISH. Lately, Ive become an adult. I don't even know how it happened, but one day I was happily not giving a f*ck and the next I was all grown up and business-like. Job hunting, mortgage paying, parent teacher conference'ing, taxes figure out'ing full-on ADULTING. In some ways it was good (we love us some electricity & groceries up in herre) yet for the most part it suffocated me. I ... Continue Reading
The space between effort and ease.
Back in the olden days I was an avid climber. Indoor walls. Outdoor bouldering. Indoor bouldering. Outdoor top-roping. Oh, and also? I was a terrible climber. I fared better indoors than out, but really that isn't saying much. At rock gyms I tried to muscle up the wall. I attempted to force my way to the top. I never stopped to read the wall before I began. I never paused to ... Continue Reading
Finding voice.
No one told me how much I would change when I became a mother. I don't mean the obvious changes - in my body from pregnancy and giving birth, in our family as we added one new member and then a second, or in my perspective and capacity to love as my heart swelled to new heights. Becoming a mother helped me become clearer as to who I am as a person - my own identity. Growing up, I was ... Continue Reading
Yoga is headstands (video).
It's interesting (to me. here's where you're stuck should you click over to my neck of the 'net. lottsa navel gazing these days.). Lately, whenever I go into an experience expecting something (a feeling, a result, an overarching sentiment), I tend to discover an entirely different something along the way. You'd think Id learn---and head into stuffs sans-expectation---but I'm slow that ... Continue Reading
Yoga is an act of bravery.
Ive had a love/hate relationship with yoga for years. I did yoga in my 20's. Sporadically. I loved the ability to SAY I do yoga. I didn't practice yoga. I hated consistency back then. My 30's brought yoga teacher training. I "taught" ToGa (toddler yoga). I adored how our home-practice soothed my toddler Tornado when it was time for sleep. Later we did family yoga. I loved ...

How to build muscle and lose weight–without losing your mind.
Yes, People. It's here. It's waiting for you. It's in the pile of e-books promising a new! fitter! happier! you! (ok not so much...unless you aspire to be a misfit) Far more pressing, however, a post imploring you to purchase, is my wanting to share *why* I ever joined the e-masses. It took me a while to decide. I love e-books. Im a voracious reader. Im a prolific ... Continue Reading
Breath walking: misfit style.
Hello my name is MizFit (hi mizfit!) and Im a fast walker. It's not so much if we're ambling together but alone I tend to walk purposefully---with a destination in mind. A destination and, typically, said destination has a time associated with it. I stride purposefully, quickly, and exceedingly mindlessly. As a result, my recent trip to NYC was a tremendous gift. I had meetings ... Continue Reading
Yoga for the Head+Heart (guest post).
I’m so honored to be sharing with you my passion and heart for yoga. I had the delightful pleasure of meeting MizFit on the yoga mat at our yoga photobooth at the Fitbloggin Conference several months back. If you’ve never done yoga, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Normally, you have to show up on the mat a few several classes, get into downward dog a few dozen times, and relax ...

Today I got on my mat and practiced some yoga (guest post from my instructor).
Today I got on my mat and practiced some yoga. I’ve been practicing yoga for about 16 years now and sometimes I wonder what keeps me coming back. There are days when it’s tougher to get on to my mat than others. I do know that I always feel so much better when I get on it, than not. It is said that your mat is a reflection, a way to look inside yourself. All you hold inside ... Continue Reading
