Too much Sodium!!

  • I'm stuck in a hotel room all week while I'm visiting my husband whose currently working out of town. I had to stock up on frozen dinners because I cant cook here but I did not want to fall off the wagon by going out to eat everyday. I am still staying within my calorie range but the sodium is outrageous! Luckily I dont have a scale with me here to look at the damage I'm doing, but I'm scared to weigh myself once I get back home. Should I expect to see weight gain or maybe just no loss? I'm wondering if I drink enough water if that will counteract the sodium intake or will it just make me bloat?? I need help!
  • I would drink extra water, it certainly wouldn't hurt. If anything it'll give your kidneys a good working out. As far as the other questions, I really don't know.
  • If I drink plenty of water on high sodium days I don't seem to get dinged as bad. You might want to wait to weigh in till a few days after you get home anyway just to be safe though.

    Yeah I think you're right. I might just skip that weekly weigh in and drink plenty of water for the next week or so
