So, my NUT is suspecting I am getting to much sodium and it's causing me to retain water so I tracked it all last week thanks to MFP!
Although my sodium was not crazy, I saw lots of areas to reduce my sodium so that is my goal this week. So I have revamped my menu a bit.
#1 Goal reduce my sodium by 50%
#2 goal, add 15 min (for a total of 45) on to my cardio after weight training.
I have 10 days until my final appt before surgery. Sunday I hit my weight goal but I want to kill that number so there is now doubt when I walk in there that I am qualifying for surgery!
