Initially when I decided to start a (new) blog, I wanted it to be a fitness diary that would chronicle my experiences in running, working out, and navigating the vast world of nutrition. I mean, it consumes a large portion of my day (especially the nutrition part because I'm constantly trying to figure out what I'm "allowed" to eat at each meal or for a snack - sick, I know). This is all well and good, of course, because research shows that writing things down can be extremely beneficial. But then I realized that that's what www.myfitnesspal.com and www.dailymile.com are for. Those are my food and fitness diaries. I'll include all that stuff but I feel like there's definitely more to my life than running, working out, and arguing with myself about whether I should eat that Ben & Jerry's that is rudely shouting my name from the freezer. I do other things.......I have thoughts. There are many, many things that happen during any given day that add spice and humor to my life so I might as well share them and brighten someone else's day as well.
That's where the name of my blog comes in. If I remember correctly, it comes from one of my favorite Ramona books (Judy Blume). In the book, the mom would sometimes make "MishMash Surprise" for dinner on the nights she didn't know what else to cook. She would just throw in whatever she could find from the fridge or pantry and........Voila!! Family dinner. I feel like that's how my life is and how this blog should be. A little bit of this, a little bit of that.....every day is a MishMash Surprise :)
