I have had very slow progress this month. I think I may have lost a lb!!! I am logging everything I eat and noticed that my sodium intake is sometimes double the recommendation.

I was chatting with a friend who described himself as a professional dieter. I complained that I have been eating below my BMR but am not seeing as much change as I sould be on the scale. The first thing he said as how’s your salt! According to him, the 4-5 lb fluctuations could be as a result of sodium intake throughout the day.

My goal for the remainder of the month is to REALLY watch my sodium intake. But, it’s SOOOO hard to cut salt. I cooking for myself and am still having a problem.

I know that my water intake is not what it should be. No matter how I try, I can’t seem to down more than 3 bottles on a good day and one on a bad day–and I love water! I will just have to try to finish a bottle before every meal.

At any rate, I am still trying . . .
