Watch out for those PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps! The Dailyplate.com and Calorieking.com say that 1 serving = 510 calories and 0 sodium. First,dang - it sure did not feel like I was eating 510 calories and second, I have a hard time believing it was '0' sodium. Next time, I'll suggest we split an order.
Whitney - about your knee pain, take ibuprofen for the pain. Let your knees have some time to heel. I think the elliptical, stationary bike and swimming are good substitutes for running until your knees have had time to heel. You can also do more exercises to strengthen your Quads and Hams which control the movement of your kneecap. Lunges are discouraged. Then Put ice on your knees after exercising to decrease inflammation. You may have "Runners Knee" which afflicts people of all ages. Read this article for more information and some muscle strengthening exercises. Pilates may also work for muscle strengthening without knee pressure. Last, you may need new shoes with arch support or purchase arch insoles for your shoes now.

I'm still fighting this cold or allergies or whatever. All I know is it's draining my energy. I'm getting psyched though, for the World's Largest Dog Walk this Saturday. I'll pick up our registration packages before Friday so we don't have to stand in line Saturday morning. This is a good cause - the money goes to Texas Hearing and Service Dogs which adopts shelter dogs and trains them for disabled Texans free of charge.
