1,224 extra grams of sodium? Or is it even possible?
I ask as the Husband and myself are going to Red Lobster for our anniversary tonight. This is a 13 yr tradition for us and I am really looking forward to my snow crab legs and other stuff I normally eat on anniversary night.
Or should I just count this as my "spike day" for this week and just log it and dont worry about it?
Thanks for any input. And haters please dont bother making nasty comments. Im just looking for some input not a lecture.

    To my knowledge you can't cancel out sodium. You may be more thirsty than normal due to the high salt intake. I would say just count it as a spike day and go on as normal. Drink what your body wants, but at least try to get your regular water intake as always! You deserve a special day with no worries on your Anniversary! Have a good one!

    Just drink as much water as you can stand to help flush it through. Otherwise, it's your anniversary! Celebrate!

    Drink as much as you can! Any little bit of extra helps.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're good throughout the day than splurge a bit tonight for your annivarsary! It only happens once a year so as long as tonight doesn't lead to bad food choices tomorrow enjoy yourself! Log it, count it as a spike day or cheat day and celebrate!

    Have fuN!!!!

    Sodium also comes out in sweat with exercise.

    There's no way for us to know that. Just drink an extra glass or two of water if you want.

    Not sure about anyone else but a spike day is when I go a bit over on my daily limits, I try to limit to once a week and not go over by much

    Thank you everone for input. I already logged what I am going to have this evening and just kinda freaked when I seen sodium levels lol..ouch. Ive already drank my reccomended water intake today and plan on more before dinner and after. Going to try to get in at very least some treadmill tonight after get back (hubby just filled my mp3 player with some songs for me so I wont get bored-dogs may wail once I break out into song but thats another story) haha
    Thank you once again for input :happy:

    Happy Anniversary! Don't sweat the extra sodium that comes with this celebration.

    On second thought, do sweat the extra sodium by adding some "exercise," if you know what I mean. :wink:

    I don't know about drinking water, but it would be a good idea to try and match your extra sodium with extra potassium for the day.

    Happy Anniversary!

    The fact that you are even thinking about how to counter-act your anniversary meal indicates that you are working hard and are very dedicated, so that's awesome.
    Happy Anniversary! That definitely counts as a special occasion not worth stressing about food wise.
