Good morning everyone! I decided to weigh in this morning, up a few but that's not bad considering. I'm not unhappy with it.
Today I have a follow up doctors appointment and nothing else! No school, no work. A girl I work with asked me to cover her shift yesterday giving me an almost 12 hour day... before class! So I asked her to take my shift today in return, giving me a three day weekend. Hooray! Had a quiz last night, twenty out of twenty. I'm unstoppable lol. I'm getting more comfortable in class socially. I have been friendly and sociable, I think it's working lol. I do think I've got a couple 'haters' though. Such as life.
So because of my instructors conversation about sodium I decided to switch my FS log over to tracking my sodium intake. Recommended intake is 1500mg/day. Yesterday I ended at 2806. Surprisingly it was deli meat that did me in. I never realized how loaded with salt those processed foods are. Then last night we got to talking about cholesterol as we were discussing plaque build up in vessels. Turns out one egg yolk alone contains the almost the entire daily recommended intake of cholesterol (300). I eat sooo many eggs... My cholesterol yesterday was at 723, with over 400 of it being from two egg yolks. I'm trying to be more conscientious of what I'm putting into my body. I just lost all that weight, I don't want to clog the pipes now! lol I guess it all comes back to where I left off, needing to add more fresh fruits and veggies, leans meats and healthy fats. I will try to keep those thoughts in mind while I'm grocery shopping and planning meals for the week.
I wish I was rich, with a personal chef and dietitian to do all of the thinking for me lol. Alas, I'm not. Here is a heart and an eyeball, both of which were dissected by yours truly. Have a wonderful Friday!! :)
