RD requires more education and training. I have a 4 year degree in Nutrition and can call myself a nutritionist. I did not go on to get my RD tho. Here is a good link: http://www.allalliedhealthschools.com/faqs/dietitian.php Colleen

Have you looked at the Odyssey bars or the Detour/U-turn/One way bars? I think they are lower in sugar. Colleen

I don't own a scale anymore. It was seriously starting to rule my life. I do take measurements and go by the pantsometer for progress tho. Colleen

It's one of my favorites. The FitTv version is missing a few of the intervals or parts of them, but I think it's still a good workout. Colleen

Ouch! Years ago when I was new to gyms I was using the cable machine that you could hook a weight up to the top and the bottom. The lat pull down bar was on the top and I hooked up the ankle weight at the bottom to work inner thigh. Pulled the pin out without taking the lat bar down and WHAM it...

I think your body needs fuel at night especially if you aren't eating for a good 6-8 hours after you go to bed. I follow BFL and eat right before bed and it hasn't stalled any progress. Colleen

What do you mean by outcome? Kiana was spayed at 5 and she had a hard recovery. She didn't want to get out of her crate for about a week or so. Kept her isolated and on crate rest. Bear (yes female <G>) was spayed by 1 and had an easier recovery. Needed a cone not to chew on stitches...

I have 4 dogs. It can be tough. Right now I have an elder 14 year old Lab Mix who needs extra TLC and a high drive Vizsla (more energy than your average Vizsla) who needs extra time. So somedays I am downright exhausted. I get up early for work and do one on one time with each of them...

>Colleen, That blog is so cute! I love how the little Vizsla >is writting it.;-) > Your welcome! It's very cute. OT: There is a vizsla kennel named Sunnyside and every time I see your name, I always think of that kennel. Colleen

Not fitness related at all. But if you are a dog lover, I love this blog: http://www.urbanmutt.blogspot.com/ Colleen

Yes I indulge on my birthday. But following BFL, I just switch my free day. I turned the big 40 this year and had Shari's Berries from DH sent to my work, bosses took me out to lunch with dessert, cake for afternoon break and then DH took me out for dinner and we splurged. Normally, I don't...

You can add veggies for bulk: green beans and carrots are two excellent veggies to add. I have a friend with a border terrier who literally has to count kibble for his meals. If you are putting a dog on a reduction in kibble, especially a small dog (note I wouldn't do this with a pup...

I think it depends on how you workout. A few years ago, I worked out 90 minutes to 2 hours a day. Then I switched to BFL and do 20-30 minutes interval cardio 3 times a week and 30-45 minutes weights 3 times a week and am getting great results. Colleen

Um 9 car accidents...honestly never hit anyone in those 9 accidents, but resulted in 2 herniated discs in my neck Carpal tunnel syndrome Plantar Fasciitis That's about it as an adult :) Colleen

Go to a running store like Fleet Feet and get fitted. Asics work best for me. I have high arches, PF and wide feet so they may or may not work for you. Colleen
