How can I drop the water weight?

Calories in Rainbow Foods deli item?
So i've been trying to research and I can't seem to find it. The item is "Turkey, Wild Rice, Cranberry, and Walnut Salad" it tasted creamy and slightly sweet and had a crunch of celery in it? It reminded me of Arby's Chicken Apple Pecan summer wrap that they have out now. Any ideas of how much calories are in it?

Exercises that doesn't involve standing?
This past Saturday I did a 10k (I do every year for the past 3 years) and I of course am sore from that. I thought a great way to make my sore muscles become less sore would be to go for a brisk light jog since walking and moving them made them less sore. So this morning I got on the treadmill. I could only do 13 minutes…
