Any good tips?...

I hurt my heal in class today. I felt something pop under my heal and then I could not put any weight on it. It is killing me right now. I'm hobbling around and barely able to walk. I can't wait to get home and put it up with a heating pad.
The doctor diagnosed me with Plantar Fasciitis a couple of weeks ago and I have been really working hard on stretching it and wearing good shoes, even in the house and it was starting to feel better. Then today I stepped to the side and I felt a pop and I could not stand on it. I'm so disappointed to not be able to finish class today......and to be hurt again!
My kids wanted to go to Taco Bell today after class and so I gave in. Normally we take our lunch into town with us when we go. So, I wanted to share with you what I ordered: My favorite thing to go out to eat at Taco Bell. I order a taco or a spicy chicken soft taco and 2 sides of lettuce on a tray then I mix it all together and make a really good salad for 170 calories and $1.50, oh and don't forget to put on taco sauce for dressing, zero calories and price for the sauce!! I always feel good about eating that and if I'm still hungry I can get a second taco and still be in a reasonable calorie intake.
Does anyone have a healthy food tip for going out to eat? please share.

I actually wrote a post about this a while back called Dining Out With A Plan. Rather than tell you about it here, I'll share the link, it really works for me! Becoming an educated eater is your best bet.

I found a few places that I enjoy eating at and try to stick with them - like Chili's (Guitless Grill options), Applebee's (WW options), Red Lobster, anywhere with a salad bar and a steak. I always go for the steak...not cooked in butter though.

I really like the idea that you gave us. I will try it soon. I am so sorry about your heel. Hope it feels better soon. Please don't let it discourage you and give you a reason to eat, That has been my problem in the past and that is not good. Have a great week. connie
