I wanted to start this journal entry off by starting on the negatives, but once I realized what I was thinking, I decided I needed to re-direct my thinking in a positive way (instead of beating myself up and berating myself).
So, goals.
1. Reduce sodium intake. I tend toward low overall blood volume and pressure, so a low sodium diet is not appropriate for me. I don't think I need to use salt as liberally as I do, though, because I am afraid of the long term side effects. Plus, whenever I eat a can of soup at night (not reduced sodium) I wake up feeling like my face and stomach look puffy. I know it's temporary, but still, would rather avoid that if possible.
2. STOP SNACKING BEFORE BED. I have been giving into late night snacking cravings, even after drinking tea and water and already having had a light snack before hand. In terms of tracking my intake, I realize that I do not get sufficient protein during the day. I think I need to increase protein and cut out some of the empty carbs that somehow make their way into my otherwise reasonably healthy diet. I don't think my total overall intake is stellar, but something I can work on.
3. I played Wii Dance this morning - major energy boost!
