MizFit updates. From Oikos to SonicTap.
Tue, Jun 23, 2009
I cannot believe how fast time is flying.
It feels like yesterday it was Memorial Day & here we are practically at July.
With that in mind I wanted to stop & update you on a few things en masse and save myself having to return emails.
- BlogHer Conference: Many of you have inquired about the panel I’d asked you to help get on to this year’s program. As of right now we’re still waiting to hear if we’re in or not. The panel’s title: Blogs & Body Imagine: What are we teaching out kids? says it all. We need to get this message out/keep the conversation going.
- BlogHer sponsorship: Yes I shall be at the conference (not dressed in costume) passing out OIKOS coupons. Ive also wrangled SonicTap.com as a sponsor & convinced them to underwrite some HILARIOUS quite grown up temporary tattoos.
- BlogHer SponsorING: Yes the rumors are true. Miz RunzIfChased is helping to sponsor a 5k at BlogHer. Space is limited. Yes you can walk. YES I’ll prolly be walking most of it. YES you can still sign up HERE. (Tell PhatMommy I sent ya—-maybe if we exceed the limit we can still git the Bumbing Band in?)
- BlogHer Temporary Tattoos: No. Words. People. I ordered a bunch and I freakin love them. ‘Nuff said (pics to come).
- MizFit Magazine: (Please to insert babysigh) To be candid, People, Im not sure what’s happening here. Ive learned that companies are quite happy to do giveaways (which I adore doing in this economy) yet notsohappy to pony up cash for ads. I’m still hoping for a fall launch. If you emailed me an article & would prefer I use it as a GUEST POST (or not at all) just let me know via email.
- FREAKIN HILARIOUS: We’ve discussed to death my inability to figure out the Jyze. (I feel kinda badly about this as I fear Ive become the company’s new mission. It’s all Operation Git MizFit A’Jyzin’ up in therre—but that’s a story for a different post.) One reader, Oystein Lund, made me LAUGH OUT LOUD with his basic take on their too-confusing-for-Miz product:

- And lastly, yes. I’ve gotten more colorful since we last updated as well (a lot since here. a little since here.).
I colored a Seuss creature:
And greened-up problems from facing your problems from Oh The Places You’ll Go!
*whew*
Yep, that’s me.

That video is too funny!!!
Has he sent it to the company I wonder?
I will see you at BlogHer and will walk along with ya!
Which tattoos did you make?
Can those of us who aren’t going to BlogHer get them?
LOVE THE COLOR YOU ADDED!!!
Are those tatoos permanent or temporary? I realize it’s none of my business. I’m just curious.
Did I understand you correctly that you are looking to start up your own magazine? If so KUDOS to you. I think that’s awesome and I’m proud of you.
No FitBloggin’ update? Hmmmm ;~P
Looking forward to the 5K I’m registered!! (I think)
OH! and welcome me fellow Oikos chick.. we should wear our shirts the same day. LOL
go ahead and add, Roni
LOVE the new ink and wish I were going to Blogher.
That panel sounds amazing.
Oh Miss Mizfit, get yourself to a grocery store stat and find some kabocha! You won’t be sorry
(I bet the Austin Whole Foods would have it, but you might want to try an Asian grocery store first, b/c the squashes are cheaper there.)
LOVE THE ENDING, Cartoon Characters always leave a smile
How funny is that video??
He kicks your booty with that thing
Sorry Miz but true.
I am so with you on the time-flying thing! Every day around 7pm, I find myself wanting to scream…”NO!!! I need more day!!”
I love the new ink!
OOh, the tats are looking GREAT!!!
Well, to be fair, mine is considerably lighter than an actual Jyze
Lovin’ the color! Looking good, lady
Sounds like lots of exciting things are happening – enjoy the process!
Great video!
Miz: If I get a tatoo, it is all your fault
. That tatoo is looking cooler by the day. 
Good luck with everything.
Mtyself: I have to kick up it up a notch or several notches, challenging times, but I believe I am gonna shine.
FUNNY video! I would never be able to use that thing!
Love the color too! That will make the convention fun for all! Congrats on all that for you! Wish I could go but too far away & mo $$ here. Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Apparently you must speak to the jyze in a Norweigan accent in order to make it behave. His was so cool! Coming to an IKEA near you???
A MizFit-sponsored 5k?!?!?! AH!!! I can’t believe I’m going to miss it! AH!!!
I know! The first race I’ve ever entered too
i love the suess tats
Blogher sounds like it will be great! i wish I had the money to travel there for it.
LOVE the tat! It is coming along quite well I cannot wait to see the end result. Thanks for updating us.

OK, I sit here at my desk now trying to construct a homemade Jyze. Hours of fun! And so lightweight, I don’t have to worry about bulking up.
(So JOKING, in case that does not come across. Not about my homemade Jyze, though.)
Colorful tats are STUNNING.
P.S. Please, for the sake of me not having to run to the bathroom to scrub coffee stains off my shirt, never, ever write the word “jyzin’” again.
LOVE the tattoos. SO bummed I won’t be at BlogHer (like Jody, I’m too far and have no $$ at the moment – it’s all tied up in buying my first condo! Woo-hoo!). Laughed coffee almost out my nose at TFH’s PS about “jyzin.”
When is BlogHim?
Did I miss it again?
I’ll email you as I may have some advertising contacts for the magazine.
Wow! Awesome updates and great news about the mag!
Man, my kids would be BUSY for awhile with that Jyze.
Cool tattoos! I’m impressed:)
Nice tattoos!
Am still lusting after BlogHer. Sighs.
Thanks for the updates! I have to admit I was kinda wondering about a couple of those things! Especially re: the mag; perhaps I’ll wait for the next update before I try and make a contribution. The tats look GRRRREAT!
That Jyze video is hilarious. The only thing more hilarious was MizFit and I (and The Tornado) trying to figure how to work the “Original Jyze”.
and we are SUCH GROWNUPS that we’d NEVER have begun giggling and calling it anything other than JYZE which rhymes with SIGHS. Never, I say!
I don’t comment frequently yet wanted to say I really hope you get the panel.
It is such an important topic.
The jyze video is a blockbuster. You can make it with a button, too. Not much of a workout, but mesmerizing.
You have lots of great things going on! Hurray!
I’m walking the 5K .. and waiting for my temp. tattoos. Starting to get excited.
so wish that BlogHer had worked out for me this year:( But i’ll be thinking of you as i walk through quaint towns in the south of France avoiding the baked goods and fresh cheese.
as for the mag, don’t fret honey..this will come to you when the time is right. You know it doncha?
love the tat touch ups – Oh the places you’ll go is my fav Seuss:)
xo
Couldn’t access the video but will try again. It must be good if Miz recommends.
The tats are so cool. Bonus – leg shaving optional as it adds extra dimension to images. How clever of you! Now you’ve got me considering it.
Wish I could attend Blogher. You’ll have to fill us in. Hope your panel gets the green light.
I still can not believe that is actually your leg.
Which temp tattoos did you pick?
I will be there at blogher too!
You are busy! Good luck on all the projects
I hope the panel gets up and running at blogher and I hope you get some ad sponsors for the mag in the fall
Oops, I was gonna mention that I just did my first 5k over the weekend. Yay!
I wish I could go to yours at blogher…but not able to make it. I’m sure it will be a lot of fun though!
You have a lot going on! We are just trying to stay cool in the middle of a heat wave. That’s why I exercise first thing in the morning! I love reading the blogher posts, have fun at the conference!
I wish I was going to the BlogHer conference, but alas, their ads don’t make me enough money…
Woot Woot! Since I’m doing intervals again, I may just be walking along side of ya! And, everytime I look at your tatoo I want to cry cause of the pain I think it was!!! I’ll happily wear the temporary tats at BlogHer!
Great video!
Keep plugging at the e-zine. It may take time, but it will happen.
It’s been cool here. So much so this weekend, we put the heat on.
The tattoo is looking awesome!
No costumes?? I am so very disappointed. You would make one hot (cool?) Greek yogurt. And I do hope you are planning on taking lots of pics at Blogher? Please???
Thx for stopping by & reminding me why blogging is awesome!

Loving the ink. When I get mine touched up it always kills though.
Ahhh, blogher. I am trying to have the new website part of Blogher, but alas they still aren’t accepting new blogs.
Happiness Awaits
The BlogHer 5K sounds great! (..although I sadly won’t be there!)
I love your tattoo so much. I think about it all the time since I first saw it on Twittter!
I just love that your tat photos came immediately following the Skin Care product review. That had me chuckling…
How much space in MizFit magazine are you devoting to F.M.S.?
Oooh the ‘toos are looking fantastico.
ah, i wish i could do your 5k miz!!! very kewl
AHHHH NITMOS.
none since it will be out soon at a book store near you?
all because Im too lazy to ebook?
who can say
Pretty cool post. I just came by your blog and wanted to say
that I have really liked reading your posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
Those are some colorful tats – I never knew you were such a Dr. Seuss fan.
Oh, I wish I could join your 5K but I am too far away. :S
Freaking hilarious 1:11 ever!
Carla, it was very sweet of you to drop by my blog. Thank you!
Sorry so late to the party–sister in town and condo in escrow and rush rush rush blah blah blah…
But what a great set of updates! And LOVE LOVE LOVE the tattoos.
I am so freakin’ jealous about blogher, I so wish I were going!
Oh, I so can’t wait for the temporary tatts!!
