Link Love & Firm Workout DVD Giveaway.
By MizFit | March 20, 2009
It’s been a fun week.
For MizFit at least.
I showed you the FIRM
(That great plastic beast!)
Some laughed & some mocked
(You’ll have that I say!)
No matter to me
as I crosstrain away!
I found a few things
this week to adore.
THIS ONE? No doubt
Left me shouting more!
(you think Id forget?
Still in. Staying strong.
No beef jerky yet!)
Tomorrow? Im back.
For chicken & such.
Be it right or it wrong
I love it too much.
Im ready for the weekend.
Got plans? None for me.
Time to think. To just BE.
Alas, I dont have a WAVE to give away, but the people at The Firm so enjoyed The Great Wave debate they’ve donated a workout DVD our way.
You can be entered to win this DVD for the lowlow price of a comment below.
You may comment about a link, your week, if you’re going MEATLESS today like Miz, why YOU should be chosen to win—-anything.
Winner will be drawn at random, announced Monday, and may be from ANYWHERE in the universe (*cue confetti*).

Topics: Link Love |

No need to enter me– Zumbox? COOOLLL…off to explore some more! Thanks for the tip!
Happy Friday Miz!
March 20th, 2009 at 3:26 am
I’d love to win!
Working on some new healthy dessert recipes today.
March 20th, 2009 at 3:42 am
I’m also meatless today! I love it when you rhyme…
March 20th, 2009 at 3:44 am
I’m loving’ the rhyme
so I’ll be back next time.
Now give me The Firm
’cause I’ve got calories to burn!
March 20th, 2009 at 4:13 am
I wanted to say thank you MizFit.
I dont know if you even remember but you made a comment about fasting and eating disorders this week.
I’m in recovery now for almost a year and feel strong and peaceful and much of that is from you.
xo xo,
Hillary
March 20th, 2009 at 4:19 am
I LOVE YOUR RHYMING.
I’m going to try some lentils today. I may not like it but Ill try.
March 20th, 2009 at 4:32 am
Phew, you scared me for a minute! I thought you were going to give away a Wave and I ordered one after reading your post. I also am checking out cave cooking regularly. What WOULD we do without you MizFit? (buy stock in Pop Tarts)
March 20th, 2009 at 4:36 am
Love the rhyming Miz!
March 20th, 2009 at 4:47 am
I’d feel like an all star if you ever linked your blog to mine
I am excited to under take the clean! Although I am probably 75% clean now, I think that extra 25% will really make the difference.
Hope you have a great weekend. Plans here are to get the house in order and maybe (FINALLY) get our pictures hung up!
March 20th, 2009 at 4:50 am
I have a question for my comment:
How do I email you my workout question to be entered to have you answer it in a post?
March 20th, 2009 at 4:57 am
Lentil love link looks good.
Have a great weekend Rhyme Queen.
Don’t need to enter me as I have too many DVDs that I need to use.
March 20th, 2009 at 5:04 am
I love the line in the MORE link about calling your craziest friend with you ideas and talking about them.
I have a friend who always encourages my zany schemes and I love her for it!!
Have a great weekend Bumbling Band!
March 20th, 2009 at 5:06 am
you can email me at MizFit08@yahoo.com
Im with you Amy.
I loved that entire post because as I read it I thought: YES!! THIS IS WHAT I DO AND IT WORKS, PEOPLE.
I also thought: yeah, this is so well written and concise and NOT VERBOSE I could never have written it
and I have no.freakin.clue. why my pics wont ever center here. Ive messed with it. WebWomanWonderful has messed with the code and it REFUSES.
March 20th, 2009 at 5:19 am
Loved the Time to Think link….my hubby nad oldest son are ALWAYS coming up with great new ideas…only to not act upon and find them a few years down the road!
March 20th, 2009 at 5:30 am
I’m looking forward to a weekend with BOTH of my sisters — we’ve all thought about it and don’t think we’ve been all together since Christmas ‘07! Can’t wait!!!
March 20th, 2009 at 5:42 am
Heyyy.
A weekend with plans?
thank you, but no.
For more than a month
we’ve been on the go.
And meatless for me
Not sure I can do
I’ve got steak in the fridge
I can near hear it moo.
I must get my new gizmo
Dragged up the stairs
and put it together
My muscles prepare.
We do need to shop
Shoes for me ;cleats for Hugh
But that is the end
of our weekend “to do”
So we’ll stay here at home
And do this and some that
We’ll perhaps lift some weights
To build muscle, burn fat.
Have fun this weekend
O bumbling band
Thanks for a great week, Miz.
Y’all give her a hand.
ta ta for now.
Make it a great day.
March 20th, 2009 at 5:44 am
I just found you blog from the Austin American Statesman newspaper link.
Great stuff here.
March 20th, 2009 at 5:46 am
*bows in rhyming awe to Linda*
March 20th, 2009 at 5:57 am
I love that you’re encouraging everyone to try a meatless day!!!
(and I would love to win a video :))
March 20th, 2009 at 6:02 am
Oooh…I’ve heard alot of good things about the Firm…if I don’t win it (*cue computer voodoo) then I’ll just have to go out and buy it. May be a nice companion to my “Shred” DVD
March 20th, 2009 at 6:22 am
You didn’t mention spring!
The first day! Give a cheer!
It’s my hubby’s b’day, so lots of plans here.
March 20th, 2009 at 6:23 am
I hear good things about the Firm.
I’m off to the gym, then picking up some wine and packing so I can visit my parents and look at reception sites (my weekend? not so fun).
March 20th, 2009 at 6:24 am
Just found your blog and I think it’s great!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:26 am
I have heard great things about the firm. Its about time I get some new workout DVDs. I was thinking Yoga. Anyone got yoga dvd suggestions?
March 20th, 2009 at 6:26 am
Oh Miz, your poetry, it’s magical……
I’m all about the whole chicken, some say the use of the whole animal is respectful…… I say yes, and delicious!!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:28 am
I love your rhymes but more than that I love that you are my Fitness Guidance Counselor.
No need to enter me.
March 20th, 2009 at 6:35 am
I wanna win!!!! Pick me! Pick me!
I’ve been slowly cutting out red meat so I’ll join you on going meatless today. Shouldn’t be too tough.
March 20th, 2009 at 6:39 am
Those questions from dumb little man (what a name!) will have me thinking all day… PS> Don’t enter me in the contest;)
March 20th, 2009 at 6:39 am
I’d love to try the Firm DVD! I’m going meatless today! Easy though–I probably eat a vegetarian diet more than 50% of the time without even thinking about it–I love veggies, beans, nut butters, oatmeal, etc.!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:40 am
*Loved* the Seth Simonds post! Especially this bit:
“Because real change starts with a recognition of deficiency and a no-holds-barred desire to improve.”
Of course, my definition of “no-holds-barred” and his might be a teensy bit different (mine includes the occasional slice of cake, for example), but I love what it says about knowing what needs fixing and then intently working toward it. No excuses, no fear, no turning back.
Just what I needed to launch the weekend!
Hope yours is a great one!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:41 am
Ohh, this looks like an interesting alternative when trapped in the house but still wanting to work out.
March 20th, 2009 at 6:43 am
A new workout DVD that i could use
March 20th, 2009 at 6:47 am
We go meatless once or twice a week as I have a vegetarian daughter, and we do a couple of veggie meals a week for her.
It’s good for us!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Only 500? If I’m gonna do it,
it needs 1000 before I’m through it!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:49 am
500 calories??? Really?
And I am not going meatless…I am not a huge meat eater anyhow, but I do like my chicken/turkey pastrami in my whole wheat tortilla…
March 20th, 2009 at 7:00 am
I’m with Irene, looking for a beginner yoga dvd. I would rather borrow or rent one before purchasing though because I’m not sure if yoga is for me.
Well, that got off topic didn’t it. I’m not thinking about buying the firm at this point so no need to enter me into the contest.
Chicken? Yum!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:00 am
I hope I can comment today! I kept getting kicked out of your site yesterday
Couldn’t share my earth-shattering comment about how I hadn’t heard about the Paleo diet but was now going to check it out. Too bad you missed it. HA!
Finally following you on twitter! Yay!
I do meatless at least 3 times a week. Hubby is getting used to it. Finally.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:03 am
Peeking in as I have 2 hours childfree to CRANK on vast amounts of work BUT I *love* anything RODNEY YEE for yoga!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:04 am
Well, I’m not going meatless — DH would DIE.RIGHT.THERE if I didn’t give him meat today, and I’m too stubborn to start making two-meals-for-every-meal.
I’ll eat meat-free breakfast, snacks, and lunch. That’s like…3/4 meatless. Good ’nuff
Really interested in this video though — I’m always looking for challenging at-home videos for when I can’t get to the gym…and it’s definately a struggle.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:05 am
Felice? WP is doing a funky thing with identifying comments as SPAM too….so I’m starting to ‘check & release’ there.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:27 am
Is this where I have to post a million comments to win?
I’m definitely looking to expand my home exercise video library, and this looks like a good one to add. I’m pretty picky about my exercise videos
as for today being meatless, I think I probably will be meatless today. My menu, as it turns out, was likely meatless anyway, although dinner is still up in the air.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:29 am
Oh my Miz
it does my English teacher heart proud to see you rhyming like the doc!
500 calories??? WOW!!
sign me up!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:35 am
I’m going meat-free today - so far accidentally but now I will make it a priority.
I’m in two minds about eating meat. There is obviously a food chain that has been adhered to since time began and a world with an explosion of uneaten cows could be a little stinky. But I do sometimes wonder if maybe we’ve evolved past eating the flesh of other animals.
Would it be so tasty if it weren’t meant to be eaten though…
Have a great weekend!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:35 am
I am meatless every Friday, with it being lent and all! I love the Firm workouts. I have their step and videos from 2001 and they are still butt kickers. I need to replace my videos with the dvds soon though.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:41 am
I’ll do mine in haiku:
something amazing
it’s a workout I don’t own
now I must have it
I suck at haiku
haikus should paint a picture
lines above do not
I give up.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:43 am
OMG…I’m a HUGE Rodney Yee Yoga Fan…in fact, his AM Yoga it what got me out of the chiropractor’s office and finally on the road to recovery and health! I haven’t needed a chiropractor since.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:46 am
Meatless today!!!!! Vanilla protein shake is my friend along with my cans of tuna ;)……..taking on 4 extra (sis’ kiddos) today…….why should I win? I’ve been such a good girl
Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:57 am
I would love win this!! I’ve done the
Firm workouts on and off again for the last
Several years. I love the workouts and as they say
I’m a firm believer. I’m wanting to try something new and
Would love to win.
March 20th, 2009 at 8:07 am
I love that last link with morning tips. My coffee maker with a timer is my #1 kitchen appliance!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:12 am
The first day of spring - heavy snowfall warning
Could have 6 inches by tomorrow morning
No need to enter me in your draw
Shoveling snow will be the last straw
Not meatless, either, sorry to say
Need all my protein for energy today
(good thing I don’t have to make my living as a poet!)
Have a good weekend!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:18 am
Love the rhymes… definitely going meatless today since I can only eat toast and bananas, oh and maybe mashed potatoes.
March 20th, 2009 at 8:19 am
500 calories burned with the Firm? W*O*W. I’m thinking it might be more for me since I weigh a little-a lot more.
~Enjoy your weekend Miz!~
March 20th, 2009 at 8:45 am
I love that DVD!
Please give it to me!
…ok that’s my Friday rhyme. I rented it from Netflix once and just haven’t coughed up the dollars to buy it, and therefore it is necessary that I comment HARD right now!!! ::concentrating on winning vibes with all my mindbrain::
March 20th, 2009 at 8:49 am
It’s always great to read your posts and I’m happy I have the time this morning to also leave a comment. I’m celebrating my second week of weight training with a personal trainer. YIPPEE!
March 20th, 2009 at 8:54 am
I’ll love to try out this workout!!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:17 am
I have a “date” for dinner and a movie tonight with my 19 year old son; so looking forward to spending some happy time with him during his spring break.
March 20th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Definitely going meatless today.
Welcome spring!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I’m already a vegetarian, so no meat for me. I always love trying new workouts, so I’d love to win!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Only you, Miz, would have a video all about the beef jerky you love.
Too funny.
have a good weekend!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:24 am
I laugh that the Ren Man doesnt read this so he will be MEAT FREE and, I think, not even realize it.
we’ll see if he notices….
March 20th, 2009 at 9:26 am
[...] Original post by MizFit [...]
March 20th, 2009 at 9:33 am
This was a good week -not perfect but good - and the weekend will be a wrap up of such. Lots of NCAA on the tube (MY alma mater plays this afternoon). At least one trip to the gym. But mainly hanging out and getting rest. Because we need it.
Loved some of those links, must figure out the purpose of Zumbox.
March 20th, 2009 at 9:39 am
ummmm…just checking out recipes in my new “art of the Slow Cooker” recipe book and I’m torn between “Espresso Braised Beef” and “Slow-Cooked Teriyaki Chicken” so I guess I’m not participating in the meatless day.
BUT I am laden with organic veggies, so lots of meatless sides, if that counts!
lol on the contest being open to anywhere in the universe! When you extend past the US, you go BIG!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:43 am
I have fantastic weekend plans and hope this gorgeous weather sticks around for them.
March 20th, 2009 at 9:49 am
I’m such a sucker for the Firm. Maybe it’s the 80s outfits.
March 20th, 2009 at 9:55 am
A DVD?
For me?
500 calorie?
Tee hee!
That’s as far as my muse will let me go re the rhyming stuff. Muses are funny about stuff like that.
March 20th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Love the preparation tips to make the morning “smooth”- that is so me.
And the 8 meatless dishes are awesome! Except I forgot and I brought pea soup to work today for lunch; it’s got little chunks of ham in it. Damn. So much for being meat-free today.
The dvd looks great- am dreaming of a Wave.
March 20th, 2009 at 10:02 am
I am a busy girl this weekend, might go meatless too:)
March 20th, 2009 at 10:47 am
I bought The Firm a few years ago with the steps, because my sister used it and lost like 50 lbs (after her first baby). I am currently doing Turbo Jam (today is day 79!) but when I am done I will probably go on to do The Firm series that I have already. I wouldn’t mind trying this one too :).
March 20th, 2009 at 11:01 am
sweet I love workout videos
March 20th, 2009 at 11:04 am
Irene, I am liking Bob Harper’s Weight Loss Yoga dvd….it’s been nice to alternate cardio days with.
That said — I’d LOVE a new DVD to work out with! I’m getting bored
March 20th, 2009 at 11:20 am
I’ll echo the Rodney Yee love - especially Yoga Burn, which isn’t what I’d call aerobic yoga, but STILL improved my run time - and gave me muscles in my arms! Woo-hoo!
Love the arm workouts and the whole chicken site. I’m a big believer in using as much of the animal as you can. And the bones make a great broth for soup!
March 20th, 2009 at 11:21 am
a humorous version of this workout dvd would be the movie “the firm” with exercise moves interspersed at dramatic lowpoints.
March 20th, 2009 at 11:26 am
No meatless here. I brought tuna salad for lunch, and I do not know what Mr. Handsome & Handy is making for dinner tonight. But I will stay out of the package of beef jerky in my desk today, to keep you company, Miz! (I swear, that stuff is seriously triggering!)
Our weekend is busy! The kids have a night out (babysitting fundraiser at their dance teacher’s studio), so we get a night IN! By ourselves! Woo hoo!!! And on Sunday I get to meet one of my buddies who is visiting San Francisco. And I’m going to try a new soup recipe. So looks like a good one ahead…
March 20th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Rats, I forgot about being meat-free. Guess that hot dog for lunch wasn’t a good idea.
I’ve wondered how good that DVD is, so it’d be awesome if I got to try it for free!
Thanks, Miz!
March 20th, 2009 at 11:53 am
J’adore the workout dvd. How much protein is in it? LOL Just teasing.
BTW, do you know anything about glutamine? My neighbor was telling me it’s better than protein supplements. We’re the fitness heads on the block and were comparing notes.
March 20th, 2009 at 11:57 am
I’m meatless today! Looking forward to sushi tonight
March 20th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
thanks for the lentil link. i have been looking for some new ideas for the lentils.
and not meatless here today…didn’t even think about it. i had some lean steak and scrambled egg beaters with salsa for lunch! yum.
March 20th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I love your rhyming too *smile*. Oops on the meatless thing lol.
March 20th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
You know, I forgot about it being the meatout until I read the newspaper this afternoon. I thought “oh, too bad, I missed it.” But then I realised I haven’t eaten any meat so far today! So I’m in!
March 20th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I love your rhymes! The toddler is lucky to have a rhyming mama.
Meatless so far and it’s almost 3! Sushi for lunch, quiche for dinner…I could do this everyday. (*hhmmmm)
March 20th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Love your blog!
Meatless today, yesterday, yesteryear and tomorrow and beyond.
March 20th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Meatless today! Looking forward to my traqditional Friday sushi dinner!
March 20th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
oh boy do I need this video!! hope you put me in the running! thanks somuch for the chance!
luluspetals@hotmail.com
March 20th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Would love to win, always happy to get a new exercise DVD…Can’t think of an interesting comment…Been breathing paint fumes at the office all day…All I can come up with is: Pick me! Pick me!
Can I have a nap now?
March 20th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
I love the Firm… That’s how I lost 100 lbs about 5 years ago. If I had kept up with it I would have continued to loose instead of gaining it all back. Live and Learn and then get the Firm
Jenn
March 20th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
I’ve been meaning to go meatless today but then I forgot and defrosted turkey to make for dinner tonight
Oops.
Do you know if this dvd is any good? nope! I have a copy now but it’s for YOU guys so I didnt open it. Im sooo good that way!
March 20th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I spent spring break cleaning the apartment, so I rewarded myself with a dip in the (freezing cold) pool. Ahh spring in Texas. Anyway! I would love the video. Can’t get enough workout videos for a nice challenge every day.
March 20th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
I needed that smooth out your morning link THIS morning!
Ill take the DVD instead
Thanks for a fun week as always.
March 20th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I have gone MEATLESS today with out even realizing it. I have had eggs, and some dairy. It’s beautiful outside. I think I’ll pack up the boys and head to my grandmas to play in their yard. I love the sun =)
March 20th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Didn’t go meatless today, but did spend some time looking through my Vegetarian Times mag and pulling out some yummy recipes to make for future meatlessness
March 20th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
You’re so darn cool!
March 20th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Not going meatless today
I can’t since it is Chipotle Day!!!! Ok “Day” shouldn’t be capitalized. It’s just chipotle day for me
March 20th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Meatless for me today since it is Lent. Here is my ode:
Fish for dinner it will be.
Not meat today, that is the key.
First I must run, since don’t have a Wii.
But, gorgeous sunset I will see.
Then, time for dinner, the family and me!
March 20th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I want to win this because I love New workout DVD’s! I need variety!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Hey Miz,
Just stopping by to say that for everything you do.
Your comments on my blog have really helped & your tips here as well.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
I’m not going meatless… I’m pretty much semi-veg anyways, but since I was diagnosed with anemia a few months ago, I’ve been making more of an effort to INCLUDE meat in my diet (on top of other non-heme sources of course!).
March 20th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
I would love to have a new workout.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Hi, I’m new to your blog. Not sure where I found you at but I love what I see so far.
I’ve had a pretty crappy food day but there’s always tomorrow to start over.
Thanks for the giveaway =)
March 20th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
i would love to try something new and challenging!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
I had wonderful day of of yoga! Happy first day of spring, MizFit.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Thank you for this wonderful giveaway opportunity. I seriously am addicted to your blog.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I enjoy your videos. thank you!
March 20th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Love the Firm!!
March 20th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Oh Miz oh Miz
just what would i do
without your fine humor
and blog words to view.
I feel like I know you,
on this meatless day,
I’ve never had jerky,
but longed for it today.
Fiber one for breakfast,
with vanilla almond breeze,
One Boca, two Bocas
more Bocas, pleeze, pleeze.
have a great weekend,
I’ll eat like a bird
and work my sore biceps
while I share every word
March 21st, 2009 at 4:57 am
Where can I get that beef jerky you talk about?
March 21st, 2009 at 5:32 am
Funny…I was just thinking about pulling out some old Firm Transfirmer workouts and then I stumble across you trying the wave!
March 21st, 2009 at 5:48 am
I love the Firm and I don’t eat meat. Gave it up 28 years ago so I could feel good running after dinner when my husband could watch the kids! I want to win!
March 21st, 2009 at 2:06 pm
you are so creative! love it. have a great weekend!
March 21st, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Thanks for the comment of encouragement you left for me on my blog. Believe me, I need all the help I can get. Vee - http://www.veegettinghealthy.blogspot.com
March 21st, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Does watching March Madness basketball count as a workout???? Heart rate definitely up!
March 21st, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Went meatless. Want a Wave. Fat cat on lap hindering typing, so that is all!
March 21st, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I would LOVE this DVD
Thank you!
March 21st, 2009 at 8:34 pm
miz you’re a rhymin’ wiz
gp in mt
March 21st, 2009 at 9:18 pm
This is so cute, Miz! Good job with the meat free…it’s tough!
March 21st, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I would love to win!! The FIRM is great, and so are your rhymes
March 21st, 2009 at 11:27 pm
This is a great week! I’ve been busy with work, but school has been so much fun, and my diet is really working out! The only thing that would make it better would be a really great workout (like this one) to compliment it!
March 22nd, 2009 at 4:31 am
I order it in bulk from the company.
PRIMESNAX.com
chipper jerky bites.
original.
although Id encourage you not to start as, no joke, it’s addicting stuff
March 22nd, 2009 at 8:15 am
Hey — thanks for the comment on my blog! The Firm DVD look interesting — I’ve been thinking it’d be great to have a workout routine for at home, when the weather’s not nice enough for playing outdoors!
March 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 am
ahah i LOVE the rhyming!
March 22nd, 2009 at 1:41 pm
i’d like a shot at the dvd. i definitely need to do it!!
March 22nd, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I always like trying a new DVD… if it burns that many calories, it’s meant for me!

I didn’t go meatless on Friday, but I’ve recently been embracing a few meatless days a week. Even the odd vegan dish. It forces me to experiment with new veggies and beans, and encourages cleaner eating. And that’s the new goal: to eat clean, run and strength train. It’s taking-care-of-business time
‘Cause I want this body kicking around for plenty of vibrant decades to come!
(An at-home workout that burns major calories sounds like something this fitness newbie could learn to love!)

After a long hiatus, I am back trying to catch up on my favorite blogs/bloggers. So, I’m game. I always like the Firm DVDs.
