    Not necessarily. I'm regularly around 2500 to 3000 mg sodium and it hasn't hindered my 108lb loss at all.

    Well I went for a 30 minute aerobic walk which doesn't give me more steps today than a normal work day but was more aerobic. I know aerobic exercise helps lower tryglycerides.

    Might be shooting myself in the foot literally though. My feet are now killing me and C-reactive protein is a symptom of imflammation so I might be going in the wrong direction in the blood marker I'm most interested in changing. Of course I can't get a home test for that. I redo my lab work anytime between now and may 20th ish. I'm trying to wait closer to May 20th though so the result will represent a longer period of time.

    The soreness is NOT natural. I am not someone who has never exercised before.

    I have something wrong with my feet. I am on the referral list for a podiatrist and am just waiting to get an appointment and find out what. Since it came on rather fast through the pain scale I assume it isn't arthritis. It could be bone spur or a number of other problems.

    Well another 10 days or so. I haven't lost any weight. Weight varies naturally the highs are lower but the lows aren't lower. In this last week I had to go on an out of town trip for 4 days with a large group of teens. I was able to stick mostly to plan but did have sweets twice and refined carbs with extra calories. I also got in alot more steps a few of the days as well as extra stairs. It seems to have went well enough my new numbers are looking better. I still need to get the tri's lower. But cholesterol is not looking good. tri's are down. Even though I ate fatty fish more and exercised the HDL didn't go higher and the ratio while in the normal range went the wrong direction for the week to week but overall (the month values) I"m still happy with the results.

    4/19/2019 from about a month ago.
    Total Cholesterol 141 down 25%
    Trigylcerides 171 down 21%
    HDL 35 up 3%
    LDL 71.8 down 35%

    Ratio 4.03 down 28%
