Wow - using Lose It! app gave me a shock when it calculated how much salt I was taking in. Okay - I confess I am not good at tracking my salt intake - now I have NO excuse - which is a good thing. First it means that I need to make my own salad dressing, see if I can find another rice cake with no so much salt (I like rice cakes, especially for the crunch, but also I can put avocados or tuna on them for a lunch time snack). I have to watch the roast beast(beef) deli meat - I think I am going to start asking the deli manager if they have low salt versions. I also have to use low salt cheese and bacon in my quiche. The app helps me find where there is too much salt to I can make adjustments These are all things I am willing to try. And for my efforts - Lowering my high blood pressure and breaking the salt addiction.
I talked with D last night. She is inspiring me! She bought a membership to a gym, which got me to get off my train 2 stops early. Last night I considered going back to gym here at Pratt - I have to see - I do love walking and it fits into my schedule. I have also been thinking of getting off my train 3 stops early, especially now that it is lighter later. All these little changes do add up.
So tomorrow I am going to forgo my usual deli sandwich and bring egg salad from home. If I do go to the market I will see if they have low salt roast beef.
