Let's get this daily chat/challenge going! Trying new things--made a black bean burger for the first time ever and loved it! Hubby wanted to do burgers for guests, and I wanted to "be good" without attracting attention. IT WORKED! That plus veggie tray kept me within calorie range!

Have not lost a pound this week, but I did not gain! That is something.

My personal challenge is that I have been setting a goal to lose 1 pound per week until the end of the year!.. I am hopeful that the Dash diet with reduced salt and fat will help me reach those goals.

Shopping at our local Farmers Market helps me to eat fresh and natural. Many veggies locally grown that are not found in our supermarkets help keep sodium levels low. Natural potassium is so much better than the table salt!

I came back from vacation with weight gain. I did not eat a lot and did a lot of walking, so I think it is the sodium. My BP was 141/80, a bit high, not awful. Today I am back to normal weight and 125/70. See what eating out does? Even if you try to choose wisely.
We had a great time in Las Vegas.

I would say EVERY DAY water is a challenge. I imagine it always will be. It's not a habit that comes easily for me.

walked to pharmacy for blood pressure test,was 127/77 with 3/4 teaspoon salt added daily. I will measure the amount I need to use daily in my food. With no salt 80/50,very dangerous,was told has caused problems with heart & kidneys and will get worse and lead to problems with my brain. I raised it in 12 hours.

My cholesterol and healthy fat and salt is too low. I need to eat lots of salty foods and increase my % of fat to fuel my brain and organs properly and raise my blood pressure or I will get a stroke or heart attack at the gym from lack of blood to my heart or brain. I have to change my gym routine. My blood pressure needs to go to 120/80, the healthy range, mine is 100/65,some days 80/60 if I have no salt. I need lots of salt for my body to function and need to have lots of water. My Dr. was wrong on telling me to exercise at the gym, my gym instructor who works at 4 hospitals was wrong. Now I will use my knowledge and keep on investigating my health over the internet. I was tested at a pharmacy.
