Hey Mamavation Peeps another week and I am still here. So this is the end of the official first week of Mamavation Boot Camp and I am proud to say I survived. Boot Camp was easier than the hazing. Not to say that it is easy at all. I wake up in the morning with…
WOW, what a week it has been! I don’t know about Rebecca and Jeanae, but I had an awesome week – chatting with the girls and getting to know what we’re doing during the bootcamp was both a whirlwind and totally fun at the same time. Now that we’re a week in on our fitness…
2012 was an incredible year. I had a baby, protested against the Strong 4 Life billboards and had them removed, fought for labeling genetically modified ingredients in California, spoke at Fitcation and BloggyCon, made some incredible new friends, and continued to changes lives everyday though Mamavation. Blessings abound. As I was looking back, I decided…
Once again Mamavation has had the honor to put out the Top 50 Most Influential Healthy Tweeps. This list is different than before. This year all decisions were handled in a panel with Mamavation Leadership members and Diets In Review. Thank you to everyone who nominated their favorites. We split the list in 5 parts:…
Mamavation has done a social media list of the Top 50 Most Influential Healthy Tweeps for two years in a row.

Is an app that provides you with a daily reminder to take a pill the same as an app that a doctor uses to calculate the correct dosage for a prescription? Obviously not, but the FDA thinks they should be regulated the same way. Just looking at the list of Health and Fitness Apps in the iTunes…
I’m 35 weeks pregnant and very ready to deliver. This is my 3rd pregnancy, so this time I have more humor, aches and pains, and less stress about the entire thing. But I thought it would be funny to get some additional input from blogger friends about their pregnancy. I put out a call on…
Every morning it seems I’m on twitter at about 6:30am (that’s PST while some of you are listening to this at 9:30am EST) talking about needing espresso by IV infiltrated through my veins so I can start my day faster. I literally look like the “walking dead” and feel the same way without my morning…
Because I’m seven months pregnant, I thought poking fun at my vagina would give me some comfort. Pretty soon, it’s not going to be funny anymore. Let’s laugh while it is… My dear sweet Va J-J I can’t see you anymore Where have you gone? I know you are there because you got me into…
