You go girl!! Well I i knew you were a runner, but I didn't know you would run a 5K. That is awesome. I am proud of you, which is really an understatement. Isnt it remarkable what we are doing now. Pam just had a wow weekend too. And a size 8 jeans -- you are tiny!!! Keep it up, and I miss you!! Oh, and cold here in Virginia!! Take care Jacqueline, love donna

Hi Linda, as far as I know you do not become immune to protein. The only thing is you can become sick of it!! I am not getting enough protein from food so I supplement with 3 protein drinks a day. I just don't eat that much so I want to be safe on the amount. The one thing about the protein powder that I think you might want to be careful about, or protein bars even more so, are the number of calories. I had a friend who's husband mixed his protein powder with LOTS of peanut butter and made like a peanut butter shake and started putting on weight!! Hope this helops, love donna

I hate whiners!!! And you kinow what -- I have turned into one! I can't write a post without whining about my silly knee. It's making me mad. I am not going to do it anymore and I apologize to all of you who have had to listen to me. So new knee, oops I mean new leaf, no more knee talk and no more whining!!! So now how is everyone doing?? love donna p.s. okay, one last thing -- thanks to my knee surgery I have lost 6 pounds and now have a 'normal bmi'!!
