If we may pause & reflect upon my OATcation again— I need to share with you something which has filled my mouth with longing ever since.

I have to say that I was surprised how many of you emailed and asked for more details on the weekend. Not that I thought you weren’t interested in my little OATcation—I just wasnt certain if you were all oat’ed out.
Apparently you aren’t.

Today’s tip is brought to you by MizFit’s Awkward Moments in Life # 2323: the compliment bestowage.

Let me elaborate.
If, for example, I read a friend’s manuscript & am blown away [...]

This week’s tip is an obvious one.
One which, in my opinion, we should all practice on a daily basis.
A tip/notion which I was slow to learn in life and one *big* way in which I hope you (the royal. the Bumbling Band) are not at all like I am.
My tip? Dont take no for an [...]

In the world of fitness there are, really, only so many topics.
There’s a finite amount of shit stuff about which to write (a vast finite—from yoga to ultra-marathons–but finite none the less) so we each strive to simply put our own twist or stamp on well worn topics.

People, I havent used an indoor rower since Bush Sr. was in office.
Since (& I kid not) the *first* Beverly Hills 90210 was on TV (Dylan McKay how I adored thee).
Since the freshwoman 25 or so was still firmly wrapped around my waist.
You get the idea.
Recently, however, I decided to shake things up a bit [...]

about stretching ourselves (and *not* in this sense).

This week’s testdrive was twotwoTWO things in one (anyone?).
It was a fabulous opportunity (and my tip of the week as well) to force myself out of my comfort zone in the name of MizFit & try a really cool (literally & figuratively) newtoME product as well.
First the tip.
Nothing earth shattering.
Nary a groundbreaking piece of advice [...]

Last tuesday we were all about the Random Acts of Kindness.
Prior to that post I’d thought, rather pridefully, that not only was I giving but that I was soooo creative in the give as well.
After reading all your comments I was duly humbled.
While Im still all about the Jewish notion of giving anonymously you all [...]

Yep.
You read that right.
Even *after* yesterdays lovely ramble about consistency Im gonna urge you to quit.
What started my musing on the quit was when we paused to review our goals and chatted about how it was, perhaps, time to cross a few off our lists.
Goals we’d achieved and goals we’d decided no longer applied.
Whether it [...]

For some reason, even before I started MizFit, I was a collector of tips (mentally. Ive never been close to being organized enough to jot any of these down.).
50% of which I actually tried 50% of which I loved the promise of yet knew Id never motivate.
That’s this week’s theme: The Tried and the [...]

let’s not forget the honest.
Lemmie back up.
Once upon a time (let’s call it early in the Bush administration) we had a next door neighbor with whom we had very little contact.
Our meet-ups were pretty much limited to a few minutes every few days at the mailbox where he’d regale me with tales (if by [...]
