Re: 3 Tips for Mindful Living

mizfit — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:24:49 -0000

So much of it is easy when I see the cues on my daughter's face. When I grab my phone to take a picture of *her* there is a...almost a flash of "what? you're going to be on your phone? we were playing" disappointment. A flicker. Until she realizes, yet again, I'm merely snapping her pic. to send to her dad :-)

Re: Why You Should Drop Everything to Have Family Dinners

mizfit — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 19:12:19 -0000

I grew up having family dinners every night. My dad was a college professor and was always home in time for a family dinner.
MY HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED! My husband leaves the house for work at 7a and frequently isnt home until 730 or 8.
I do think that when my daughter is older (shes 4) he will simply leave the office early and work from home after a family dinner---but for now we've just instituted family breakfasts in our early rising domicile.
Ive found I adore these times of connection and laughter and SHARING.

Even at age 4 its amazing the little things I find out about her world with this morning ritual.

I adore this and am working hard to make every day I am here a mindful living one. None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow or another "chance" to make a connection with someone.
Its so easy to go through life on autopilot (Im great at it as I did it for years :)) but the work and the effort and the FOCUS of being present is amazingly worth it.

Re: Laundry Woes: What Are Your Best Secrets?

mizfit — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:52:09 -0000

I have issues though.

I CAN NOT GET BEHIND.
it makes me crazy to see the piles waiting for me...it's like a todo list in the form of a hamper.

it sounds great but it isnt.
Im constantly laundering and not loving it.

Valerie? this sentence really struck a chord with me:

I really miss having small children around for just this reason.

Im working to step back and work less when the Girl is around.
I can work while she's asleep. I can work while shes enjoying some Daddy-time.
I just know that when she's even just a little older Ill miss the reminder of EMBRACE LIFE that her little self is.

TOTALLY why I admire you. life is about listening to others, sure, but in the end finding our stillness and heeding the voice inside.

Re: Exercise: How Do You Get STARTed?

mizfit — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 06:46:05 -0000

When I succeeded at that, it was all it took to gain the confidence to do more.

THAT IS TOTALLY IT. And, to my surprise, what I just filmed a video about for monday. Success begets success.

I have an online group of workout friends and we all keep each other motivated at whatever we're doing.
THIS IS SO KEY FOR ME AS WELL. In fitness and way way beyond. For me the online accountability partners are almost better in that we check in with each other frequently in this busybusy "face time can be difficult to find" world.

I chase after my toddler all day long, literally, but I sometimes forget to realize that this is part of my cardio!

I frequently talk about this with moms. I know when my Tornado of a girl is less...tornado'y I may need to add in more exercise in a more traditional sense. Until then, for me, MORE exercise would simply lead to overtraining.

What's a girl to do to get back in training?

you know, Laura, for me it ifs frequently NOTHING.

you say this:

I admit it - I have hit a plateau. I did boot camps, running, power walking, resistance training and one day none of it seemed to work anymore

when that happened to me (and Woman I totally recall that experience and its accompanying WHINING in the kitchen to my husband about "why am I doing any of this again?!") I took weeks off.

I guess you could say I did active rest but it was only in the form of walking my dog.

I healed entirely (body and spirit) and only THEN did I start again.

slowly.

with more rest days woven in every week.

my plateau vanished and my LOVE of working out return as well.

Ahhh the days of taking classes :) right now, being a full time mom, I dont make time for group exercise (see? I am taking ownership that its a choice though :)). I LOVE WEIGHT TRAINING and can not sing its praises enough for women.

I lift 5 days a week for short periods of time (20 minutes or so). Because it works for me to lift more frequently I break my body down into smaller parts (chest, back, biceps, triceps, legs/shoulders).

For me cardio has been a lot of chasingthechild recently.
but when it isnt that I love to ride my stationary bike and read trashy magazines :)
anything to make it fun.

and for me MANY times it ends up being active play.
dancing in the kitchen with my preschooler.
taking hiphop (for me HILARIOUS) dance classes.

anything where Im laughing so much I barely notice the exertion.
