It's absolutely brilliant outside today! I went out to do some of my homework and tried to get a bit of a natural tan, too. :) I've been using some self-tanning stuff for about 1-2 weeks now, and it's been working. I, however, prefer a natural suntan to lotions or booths. I'm no longer white/pale/pasty/Edward Cullen anymore, so I guess that's pretty good :D
I think I may have an idea to help me shed this weight/fat. I saw a forum post on lowering sodium intake that was pretty interesting. I decided to switch my sugar with sodium on the list of nutrient to watch(I already keep added sugar very, very low... worries there) and checked the recommended daily sodium intake. Most people get from 3,000-3,600mg daily... around 1,000 more than the maximum of 2,000-2,400. Yikes!
Anyway... I've been getting, on average, 2,200-2,700mg daily...damn. Most of it was from my hot sauce/chili sauce lovin'. So, I guess those will have to go. I'll just use my red pepper flakes(and get some non-salty chili powder and spices next grocery trip) I'm also decided to stop getting the cooked veggies in the school cafeteria, because they often have added salt/oils(I'm not even sure which ones). I'll just get raw carrots/broccoli/peas from the salad bar and cook them up in my dorm. A little olive oil in a skillet or a bowl with some water in the microwave.
I really, REALLY hope that I notice a change, in my belly/thighs or on the scale. Every little thing that I do helps...I hope :S
