Sodium Gains

Who in their right mind would eat Chinese food the night before they were going to weigh-in for a challenge?? Ahhh… that would be me. Talk about bad choices. We had gone out bowling for Little Mr. Sandra’s 12^th birthday (which is actually today) and when we got home the vote for dinner was to order food in. And their choice was Chinese food (I was out numbered). So although I didn’t eat too much of it, it was sodium laden enough that I showed a 1lb gain yesterday morning from the previous Sunday. I should have shown at least a 2lb loss this week (I went the wrong way).  Sometimes I wonder at the logic that goes on in my head…

So since today is actually Little Man’s B- Day, we are getting together with his Grandma and big sister who is here from Ontario.  The restaurant we are going to has pretty healthy choices for meals so I should do pretty good keeping my calories where I want them. But for water on the weekend… I didn’t drink as much water yesterday as I should have because my bottle on my cooler ran out and I refuse to drink from the tap. Yes I am fussy but if I can’t stand the chemical taste of it, then I won’t drink it. Today I’m on track (easy at work to do) and will be picking up 2 bottles after work so that I always have one on hand when the other runs out. They are 18 liter bottles and I go through at least 2 a week.

I had a massage last night at home. She came over and worked on my shoulders and neck to see if we could get rid of this headache of mine. It truly is starting to get quite annoying these days. Even taking Advil or Tylenol does not seem to be helping at all. She said that my muscles were the tightest she has seen on me yet. Needless to say I am a little tender today but I really needed the work through. Freakin headaches….

I hope you all have a FANTASIC week and are all caught up in your Christmas shopping!
