Happy Birthday Sarah! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everybody else. Here Sarah displays her Irish nature. It always make for an even more special day. I just had a patient in the hospital, and his birthday is today as well. He just turned 87. He has a lot of medical issues, but is loving life. He told me that when everything else in life starts to fail, the one thing you can rely on is your attitude, and you make the best of whatever life dishes out to you. His motto: SMILE! Even when things get bad, if you keep smiling, that can at least seem better. We all should take a little advice from this very knowledgeable man. And very Irish!
Of course, don’t forget to be staying active. Here Sarah is surrounded by the two Tom’s of our running club this AM. I was riding the bike today as I am still nursing a sore calf. Hope to be back running soon. Tom Beaudry (far right) was decked out in his green attire for the day. Way to go Tom!
Everybody have a great weekend. Happy Birthday Sarah. Luv ya!
Keep moving everybody! Enjoy this great weather!

Yesterday RD’s celebrated around the country as it was National Registered Dietitian Day! Nutrition is one of the leading lifestyle factors in disease prevention and health promotion. RD’s provide nutrition therapy by applying our science and medical background into practical and applicable ways for people to improve their nutrition status. We are highly qualified food and nutrition experts who have met the academic and professional requirements, which include earning at least a bachelor’s degree, completing a supervised practiced program, and passing a national registration exam. In addition, continuing education is a requirement in order to keep our registration active.
Registered Dietitians offer a wide variety of knowledge and experience in various settings from clinical, community, media, and public poliy. The RD can provide the patient or client with a condident, accurate, and credible information.
The term “nutritionist” is often used, however it’s very important to recognize that many states do not have licensure regulations for this term, so anyone can call themselves a “nutritionist” without the proper qualifications. South Dakota does have a licensure law and requires all Registered Dietitians to be licensed with the state. The initials “LN” indicate Licensed Nutritionist behind my name. Credentials are essential for ensuring you are getting safe, accurate, and science-based nutrition information.
As we prepare for our spring session of STRIVE 2 Survive, it’s important to recognize the signficance of credentials and quality professionals in mind! STRIVE 2 Survive has a team of outstanding and highly qualified health professionals. All of our providers are board certified and licensed in their own discipline and speciality, thus providing the NE South Dakota area with a top notch team to help you live a healthier lifestyle!
We are still accepting participants for our spring session that starts March 20th. Contact us today to get enrolled!

Today was a great day to go out for a walk. Little windy, but the temps were in the mid 50’s. Roads are clearing, but not all of the bike trails yet. You can still see the snow on the sides. Buddy was ready to go!
It was a great weekend for weather, and supposed to be even better the rest of this week. Get outside, get fired up, and go enjoy it. Quit staying cooped up in the house. Get moving!

This AM, 3/10/12, we had the inaugural start of the Watertown Area Running Club. The weather was great, calm winds. Pictured from left to right are: Jackie Burghardt, Sarah Reiffenberger, Tom Batta, and Tom Beaudry. We will begin meeting each saturday morning at 8AM at the rec center. When it starts getting even a little warmer, we will move this to 7AM.
Tom and I switched places to we could get everybody in. It was a good social run, and we got our workout in. It is always a lot more fun running with other people. We will have runs that can range anywhere from 4 miles, to 15 miles+ depending on what individuals want to do. It is not intended to be a race, but to get people together who enjoy running. It was a great day for a run guys! Keep passing the word around to others who may be interested. Once we start building on this, then we can incorporate other days of the week. Hope to see you out there with us. Keep moving!
