Sodium is killin me this week

[chinadoll]

My DH and I hosted two big barbecues this weekend and although I didn't cheat, I ate too much food and way too much sodium. Between the sausages, the diet sodas (which I don't normally drink, but it was hot and they were handy) and his deep fried turkey with all the spices and sodium in the rub, I have gained 3-4 pounds. I know it is just water but I was one pound from my mini goal and it ticks me off! I figured it would be gone by now but since we are leaving for the US on Friday we have been eating leftovers this week so I am turning into a big bloated salt block.

Lots of water and green tea today and tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

Here's hoping that you shed the water just as fast and easy as you took it on.

Drink more water and add a bit of raw parsley to your meals.

Thanks Forrest.

Thanks Niko. I generally drink about 100+ ounces a day but hadn't tried the parsley before. I am not sweating this but figured if any newbies see it maybe they will think about the sodium and not freak if the scale jumps up a bit. I am off to swim some laps now to see if I can work off some of the water.

Thanks for posting, Jill. I've had the sodium dilema before and your post reminded me to take it in stride, drink tons of h20 and rid the water retention.

Keep it up!
