Oh boy... I am still lying in bed right now and am afraid to step on the scale.

My hands feel like they do when I have too much sodium. I just checked my app and saw that my sodium yesterday was 3,297.7mg. That’s 220% of my daily allowance. I should be having no more than 1500mg.

Therefore, even though my calories were within range yesterday, I fear that there may be a fluctuation upwards in my weight today due to how bloated I’m feeling (plus I’m due to have that time of month happen now).

I also see that I’m eating foods that are loaded with sodium (obviously) even though I do not add salt to my food. It appears the main culprits are breads and pasta. Hmmm. I also bought a new vegan chicken patty from Aldi’s and that’s loaded with sodium. The regular veggie ones I normally eat have much less sodium. May also have to completely cut out the Better Than Bouillon veggie base from my daily soup as well. I only put in 1-2 teaspoons in for an entire Instant Pot worth of soup that lasts me for about 4-5 servings, but apparently I need to cut corners everywhere when it comes to the sodium intake. From now on I’ll just have to add extra herbs and spices to make up for having no added sodium/salt in my soup.

Anyway, I’ll be back a little later to actually weigh myself. Just prepping myself for the inevitable water weight gain.

Great news! Even with my bloating and such, I still lost weight! 1.5lbs. to be exact! This was an encouraging way to start the day. I'm still going to carefully watch the sodium, though. I definitely need to focus more on plant-based whole foods and less on processed vegan foods, that's for certain. Seeing how I still have about 3 more days left of my homemade "too much sodium" soup in the refrigerator, as well as numerous processed food items I just bought the other day at the grocery store, I am going to keep eating everything (mindfully) until it's finished up (aside for the long shelf-life frozen items, obviously), as well as make sure to keep drinking lots and lots of water. That means for at least 3 more days I'll be over my sodium limits, but at least now I can be a lot more aware of my meal planning. The next time I make soup? No soup base or salt added. Next time I go grocery shopping? Green peppers, hummus (I'll make my own), and avocado for my daily veggie sandwich. I'll save the processed vegan patties for "special" days when I'm feeling a little more indulgent. As for bread and pasta, well... I know I shouldn't be eating them that much anyway. I'm still going to need to find a substitution that I'm content with, since I do no care for rice and prefer pasta, and eating bread again (I was gluten-free and wheat-free for a long time) makes me happy since I love eating sandwiches every day.
