Shoes to help with achilles tendinitis

If you are having Achilles tendinitis and still want to get your walking in there is really only one shoe to help that I have found.  This is the MBT shoe. (not sandals)   The MBT rocker bottom shoe allows you to walk without stressing your Achilles tendon.    This is important.. the Achilles tendon can injure easily so protecting it is important.

I have tried other "rocker bottom" shoes and they do not compare.  I do NOT love MBT shoes.   I feel like they are heavy and ugly but when my achilles is bothering me I use them.     The MBT sandals do not help as much.. because they are not as confining as the shoes the sandals won't give your foot the same support.. the sandals do help but the shoes are the best way to go.

If you are new to MBT shoes you might need to start slowly.. a couple hours a day and work your way up.      When your achilles is feeling better try alternating your MBTs with other shoes,  I like Mizuno Wave Rider  Running Shoes.  Karhu Fulcrum shoes are kind of interesting.. they might work for you.. I find they are comfortable and alternate these in with my others.   After wearing my MBTs all of these shoes make my feet feel light as a feather.

Zesty Low Calorie Egg Salad

With easter just passed here is a low calorie egg salad recipe

1 egg hard boiled
1 Tablespoon Miracle Whip Lite
1 teaspoon mustard.
1 teaspoon horseradish
celery chopped - optional

mash the egg with a fork mix in the miracle whip, mustard and horseradish.  Chill in the fridge.  Add the celery right before serving.. otherwise it will make the egg salad soupy.

Calories from miracle whip lite are about 20 plus the calories of the egg about 75, mustard and horseradish - 0 .. for a total of 95 calories.
