Week 3?
I just finished week 2. So pleased that I am doing this! I'm looking ahead to week 3, and I am worried! In my mind I thought week 3 would be 2 minute runs, but it looks like they have sneaked in a 3 minute run.

Sodium and Sugar totals
I'm wondering if anyone else is having a hard time balancing the end totals on mfp. According to the preset totals, my sodium intake should be 2500 for the day (sounds like WAY too high!), and sugar is 27 for the day. I just filled in my breakfast and snacks, and sugar is in the red already. Any suggestions??
