Well I did not expect to lose weight this week, but then again I frequently do at this time of the month. Oh, and my blood pressure has been perfect. Fasting blood sugar when I bother to take it is in the low 90s or lower.
SW: 319
Last week: 317
CW: 315
Breakfast: berry oatmeal
I haven't stopped using salt, but I'm being more aware about it. Today, I used low-sodium vegetable broth in my pot of soup. I imagine it will be bland to my tastebuds, but I trust that it will taste better when I get used to it, so I'll just keep reducing salt.
Yes, the soup is boring, but still satisfying and edible. We'll see how it goes.
Lunch: veggie soup (salt-free tomatoes, potatoes, onions, celery, spinach, low-sodium veg broth, garlic)
Snack: bowl of blueberries
Snack: pickle
Dinner: Started with salad with oil-free dressing, then 50/50 whole wheat pasta and veggies (broccoli, tomatoes, garlic, onions, basil). Grapes for dessert.
Snack: diet sparkling water, virgin Mary, pickle, cold leftover soup
Checklist: okay except 8 (virgin Mary) & 10
