Jill's diary

Haha! I hate my belly, too. Although it is much improved over what it used to be. :D

Sodium is usually the culprit when it comes to water retention. Keep track of your daily sodium consumption. It it's higher than 2500mg a day, you should reduce it.
 
I dont even add salt to my food, dont even have it in the house... didnt eat anything processed today but............

fitday says ive eaten 3,589.9 miligrams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Click on the foods you've entered. It will break down where all the sodium comes from. You'd be surprised at how much sodium is in some foods naturally. One thing to be aware of is that fitday is not always accurate in its sodium calculations. For example, I buy these skinless/boneless chicken breasts. Fit day calculates the sodium at 700mg per 4oz of chicken. But the label on the bag says it's only 300mg. Fitday assumes I add table salt when cooking it.

wow!! they do figure you add table salt! How rude!! :rant:
 
breakfast
cup yogurt...plain
handful of blueberries
1 egg

lunch

ground beef (1/2 hamburger)
1 cup cooked green beans
1 stalk celery
1 carrot

snack

1 cup yogurt with sprinkle blueberries

dinner

2 eggs
1 cup spinach
1 cup broccoli
 
yup! I work out for 20 minutes in the am (okay...for the last 2 days anyways!) haha
 
Aww..shucks, it's nothing, really. :D

I figured out your sodium issue. It's your eggs. Are you logging them as fried? It's assuming you're adding table salt. I always log my eggs as raw--even if I fry them.
 
oh okay!! thank you!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I should start hardboiling them?

how dare they ASSUME anything!!

If you're not salting your fried eggs, just log them as raw. Hardboil them if you like, it's up to you which you prefer. :)

I just checked my sodium for today, and it was slightly over 3000mg. It assumed my potatoes, ground beef and ham was salted. It wasn't, so I'm pretty sure I really ate closer to 2500mg today.
 
Thank you popcorn, and everyone! ((((group hug!)))):grouphug:

Breakfast:

6oz. hot italian sausage (ok, I must find healthier proteins, but this is what I have for now)
2 glasses skim milk (I was thirsty!)
banana

got my period today.

exercised my 20 minutes this am, 3 for 3! I really really want to do this every morning before I start my day, I just know if I don't it out of the way, i wont do it...and anything later in thr day will be extra! a bonus, right?

Have group therapy tonight, two weeks ago I announced my desire to lose weight, missed last week cause I couldn't miss the LOST season opener!
 
ok, quick plan reminder to self:

find healthier, low sodium proteins!
 
Chicken breasts/Turkey breast/pork tenderloin/eggs/dried beans or low sodium canned beans are all good options...


good for you for exercising 3 days in a row - that's a great accomplishment - hope it keeps going for you..
 
yay! Thank you, now I need to get someone to take me to the store!
