Sodium Is Killing Me!!!

I hate salty foods. I am not a salt kind of person. But every time I find a food that I like there is so much sodium in it it's not even funny. Like an egg white flatbread sandwich from Subway has over 1,800mg of sodium. That is an entire day's worth in one meal. I had a lot of sodium at dinner last night and paid for it in water weight on the scale this morning. Today I managed to stay under 1,000mg but I had to be really choosy about what I ate.

I was slightly disappointed to find that my cherry tomato and mozzarella cheese ball salad from Market Basket was so high in saturated fats because of the cheese but I looked some stuff and found out that it is not necessarily a bad thing. Fat and calories add up quickly so the more fat (preferably healthy fat) foods that you eat the less likely you are to overeat because you will have hit your calorie limit. Moderation is key I suppose! So I happily ate my cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.

I did great with food today and had a lot of water to drink. On my first fifteen minute break at work today I went into the fitness room and did 15 minutes on the treadmill. It barely amounted to any distance but I burned 100 calories in 15 minutes so I would call that a success. I was going to do it on my last 15 too but didn't end up taking a second break.

I think I may have pushed myself a little too far yesterday. I walked around the loop we have at the office twice which equaled one mile. Then while I was on my lunch I did a hyped up cardio workout on the treadmill and have been dizzy ever since. I was extremely dizzy all day yesterday. It has mostly disappeared at this point but that is another reason I took it easy today. I am not sure why that happened but I know what my limit is I guess! The challenge will be working out tomorrow as I will be back at home without a treadmill or a nice campus to walk around. Youtube videos it is.
