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...]
Miss Lori has to choose between more sleep and a workout in the early morning
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...]
Miss Lori says food isn’t a reward you earn
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...]

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...]
Miss Lori wants you to be your own Valentine this Valentine’s Day
February 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Valentines Day, a time when that is supposed to be about “us”. At least that’s what the latest Hallmark commercial says. “Us” isn’t such a bad notion for adults who have an “us” to celebrate, but I think we have to be careful about pushing the whole “us” thing on kids too early. [Read more...]
Miss Lori grabs time for exercise where she can #Mamavation
January 31, 2011 By 6 Comments
I am proud of myself. Since applying for the #Mamavation contest I have been consistently doing some sort of exercise every day. Nothing really huge though, but enough to make me feel a little springier. I’m actually running up the stairs in my house. That’s pretty cool. [Read more...]
Miss Lori has six suggestions for beating back a cold this Winter
December 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
It’s that time of year again, the festive one filled with holiday parties, twinkling lights and cheer. What could possible bring you down? A cold, that’s what. Yes, Winter means the sound of jingle bells are in the air but they are in concert with coughs and sneezes. What’s a Mom to do? Because you know we aren’t allowed to get sick. Heck no, too much that needs to be accomplished, and never enough time to get it all done. But the fact of the matter is we do get sniffles and coughs and chills, that have the potential to grow into full blown body aches, fevers and coughing fits. I said potential. Don’t give up just yet, cuz we’re not going down without a fight. I certainly never do. Now I am not a doctor. (And I don’t even play one on TV.) I am just a gal who has very rarely been allowed to be sick in peace, so I have developed strategies for warding off some evil ills. This is just what I do, you should definitely consult your real doctor with any questions or additional guidance. (Dear lawyers and insurance agents, was that sufficient enough of a disclaimer?)
