Good morning. It's still morning in CA anyway! Got up and did 25 minutes of Step Blast. Hit snooze too long to do more and that's about all my heart can handle right now, I'm SO out of shape!!! Last week I only did cardio to get myself started so now I have to decide if I want to do BFL...

Good morning! I'm having my morning coffee before I go try Step Blast again. I'm using the FitTv version and it's not helpful to go back after commerical into the middle of a segment. No free day for me today. One of my dogs has lymphoma and has been doing well with treatments. We ended tx...

Wow, again, you guys are very motivating. Late check in for me today. We had a fun match (practice dog show) with our Dobe puppy and then I had to get some laundry done. I did manage to do 30 minutes of Step Blast. WHat a fun tape! Gayle: CLOCKS! Ack, would have forgotten thank!!! Congrats on...

My snooze button won today so I skipped my morning workout. But I will keep reading this thread for the motviation to get it done tonight. You all seem to be doing so well, it really is motivating. This is my first real week back exercising in lord knows how long. I'm doing a few cardio...

You guys are very motivating. Missed my workout this morning cuz I was too lazy to get up extra early, had to leave work early for a vet appt. which just got cancelled. So I vow to put a video in and do my 20 minutes of cardio at least. I will say for me, the first six months I did BFL, I was...

Hi there. I was wondering if I can join your check-in? I feel off the BFL and entire workout bandwagon about a year or so ago. I can't remember the last time I even posted here. I used to do BFL faithfully with great results, but have let myself slip a lot...2" worth around the middle...

I do. Altho I've been slacking lately. I've had the best results in my workout career with this program wiht a lot less time put into my workouts. Harder workouts but a shorter duration. I love the eating plan and I love free days :) Colleen

It depends on the dogs in question. 2 of mine are fine with any dogs. Usually I go out front and let them say hi and let them walk in together and unleash everyone. You might want to make sure to do this in a big area. Some dogs get more tense in smaller spaces (hallways, corners, etc.)...

If you are putting poison out, make sure you don't have any pets that might eat the dead mice. Colleen

I have IBS and can control it for the most part through diet. I know what my triggers are and if I avoid them, then I'm pretty good for the most part. Eating clean helps tremendously. Colleen

One thing to keep in mind with mixed breeds is that they don't necessarily breed "true." So you are never really sure what you are going to get. So one person's rottie/golden cross is terrific another might not be. That's not to say there aren't great mixed breeds out there. But something to...

Actually it depends. I'm in the minority but I can't do chest exercises after breast augmentation. I did them after my first surgery and one of my implants dropped about 1/4". So my doctor has suggested that I avoid chest exercises. My other thought is why do them at this point? I can't lift...

That is a fallacy that mixed breeds have the least health problems and best temperaments. Whatever you decide with, make sure you either go to a reputable breeder who does health testing, temperament testing, etc. and/or a rescue/shelter who does temperament testing. Do your research and...

I think I've had about 2 periods in 10 years and I'm totally healthy. When I was on the pill it was a very very light period at first and then just stopped. A few years ago I switched from the pill to the IUD and I did have a cycle in between and then 2 cycles the first two months on the IUD. No...

I got mine about 2 years ago and don't even know it's there. Colleen

I think the best thing is to go to a running store like Fleet Feet and get fitted. I could tell you what I wear and love, however, it is for people with high arches, wide feet and PF so I'm not sure if that would work well for you :) Colleen

If you have any thought that you might have plantar fasciitis, I say get thee to a dr. asap. I waited and I think that's why mine will probably need surgery to ever feel better. www.heelspurs.com is a great website with info on PF. One of the big signs is heel pain upon waking. Colleen

Sunnyside, For the treat method to work, you have to be working under the dog's threshold. So far enough away from the scary person/thing so that the dog still takes treats. Then you slowly move in closer. So it can be tricky. Also if the owner is giving treats when the dog is acting...
