Holy Mother of All Things Salty...

I. EAT. TOO. MUCH. SALT.

The exercise in recording everything I ate was tedious, but very eye opening. Today was not a typical day b/c I had to have the kids to a dentist appointment early and I did not allow enough time for breakfast. I just had coffee. So at lunch I was hungry for more than my usual sandwich. The loaded baked potato I made was LOADED with sodium! Granted, I put more FF cheese and turkey bacon on it than any human should eat in one sitting, but I'm glad I did b/c it forced me to realize that I am doubling (sometimes QUADRUPLING) the serving size indicated on the package. I had to get out the calculator to figure some of this crap out.

Oh, cheese. If will be my downfall. Also, Coke. Why do I have to love it so much? And bacon, even the turkey variety, is evil. I need more liquid...water would be good but I hate it. Yuck.

After my bad lunch, I panicked and ate a vitamin and cereal for dinner. My eating is just not good. Looking forward to hearing comments. I sent my Food Journal via email to both of you.
