1,350 Calories ingested today, no exercise.
Today could serve as a model day for the rest of my life. Plenty of roughage, protein, fluid intake was satisfactory and there was plenty of flavor with the meals. Aside from the sodium, something I have to accept unless I want to cook everything from scratch, I must get used to it. I don;t cook with it and I do not add salt to anything on my plate, ever.
* The pastry was offered at an early morning family meeting at my parent's home. I ate around four bites and left over half of the offering on my plate. It tasted okay but just a taste was sufficient. At this point in my life I regard such treats as a poison.
* I cannot do a lot about the higher sodium in the prepared foods like Annie Chun's soups. Like I said from the beginning this is not scientific. I'm reducing calories and as such am substituting foods I desired in the past with healthier choices. Salads and Chicken over hamburgers and potatoes.
