I have been working with nutritionist David Grotto for three weeks now. I have been logging all of my foods, moving my proteins to the morning, and my carbs to the evening, increasing my fiber, decreasing my sodium. No real heavy lifting. Although eventually I would like to. Heavy weights for exercise that is. But I digress. [Read more...]

Miss Lori wants you to Enjoy Life Allergy Free this Summer
May 31, 2011 By 2 Comments
The more we learn about digestion, our bodies, food, additives and more, the more we are realizing that much of our general fatigue, malisse, skin rashes and yes, even weight gain can be attributed to food allergies. Therefore, in your effort to craft a better health and nutrition plan you may first want to determine if you have a food allergy. [Read more...]

May 23-27 is National Swimsuit Confidence Week. No, you don’t need to run out and buy a card, you need to run out and buy a swimsuit. Stop sweating, it doesn’t have to be a terrifying experience.

May 8, 2011 By 7 Comments
It seriously makes a difference in my day. What, you ask? Getting on my little stepper for at least 10 minutes, sometime in the 6 o’clock hour, right away in the morning, before I start my day. Pretty specific stuff huh? Well, it is actually. It wasn’t always though. [Read more...]

March 22, 2011 By 1 Comment
Do you ever get mad, mad that you can’t eat what you want to? I get so pissed off sometimes because I can’t just be free to pick my food without having to silently calculate the calories in my head. That I can’t simply choose a meal based on what I have a taste for, but instead I have to choose a meal based on what my thighs can handle. [Read more...]

March 14, 2011 By 5 Comments
What are you wearing? No this is not the beginning of a prank call. I really want to know. What are you wearing when you work out? It makes a difference you know. It really does. Most of us embarked upon this Mamavation journey because we felt that we need to improve our health; our physical health and our emotional health as it pertains to our bodies. We want to get smaller so our self confidence can get bigger, and our lives can extend longer. Makes good sense. However, when we started out on this journey, ostensibly, we were not too happy with what we saw when we looked in the mirror, or stepped on the scale. (I know I sure wasn’t.) [Read more...]

February 27, 2011 By 18 Comments
It’s about the burn. Weightloss. It’s about the burn, which can only come from high intensity. Yeah, getting exercise in general is very important not just physically, but psychologically. But if you really want to lose weight you have to burn. [Read more...]
