Day 5: Sodium Overload

So day 5 wasn't great. If I stay within the confines of our house, I do okay. There is no soda, candy, or real fatty foods that are here. Well, we do have sausage because that is one of the few proteins that our son will eat without argument. For the sake of saving time, I made our breakfast at the same time. Pancakes and sausage links. I could have skipped the sausage, but I didn't. I figured that that would be okay because the rest of the day would be sensible. Besides, when I glimpsed at the calories they were reasonable: 170 calories. That's less than 2 100 calorie packs. So I had 1 pancake and a serving of sausage. Mind you, I never looked at the fat content-14 grams-until after I ate them. Subconsciously, I'm sure that was my plan. For lunch? A salad? No, not today. I had 2 oz of ham, a babybel cheese, and brussel sprouts(am I pregnant again? btw...no). So, for dinner I didn't cook because I was going over to my Judi's parents house because we were dropping off the truck that we borrowed. We ordered Chinese. I only ordered wonton soup and an egg roll. It was filling. I was in sodium overload. My fingers swelled and I felt bloated. Not good, not good. So far, today, day 6 has been better. I've been drinking a lot to cleanse out my salt laden tissues. Not real thrilled about yesterday. I can't fall off of the wagon already-I just jumped on.
