I've had a bit of a wakeup call. Friday a friend of mine from church, was rushed to the hospital. Today I find out that tomorrow she will be getting bypass surgery. She is my age. :( Earlier that week I was having pains around my heart. I've been sick, so I thought it might be my lungs........ but how do I know? I don't, so I will be making an appointment for a physical this month.

So today I ordered Chinese. Nothing really greasy, but still caloric, and salty. *rolling eyes* at myself.

I decided to make this week count for heart health. I will not just count calories, but focus on reducing fat and salt.

If you'd like to join me as I try this, and try to finally break through to under 200 pounds, I'd be happy if you'd post your thoughts, your days ups and downs. I certainly would enjoy the company.

    @purebredpolly‌ : I haven't been checking this board as it has kind of fizzled out. It's hard to find the board as the Search function doesn't work! MFP has made navigation of their site a real hassle. Where they should be getting better, they are getting WORSE!

    How are you doing on your fat and salt reduction?

    2run, I've really struggled with the fat and salt. Salt, and fat taste so good. I just do not know how to cook to make things taste good without them. I realized I need a new approach. I've just ordered several light cookbooks. I'm hoping they will help me get healthy ideas going.
