It is 101 days since I began my 365 Day Daily Food Diary.
This month I have been tracking the sodium and processed sugar that I consume each day. Eleven days in, I should know better than to assume that I have any idea how much sodium or processed sugar there is in something BEFORE I decide to eat it.
Unfortunately, once again I have proven that I obviously do not know better yet – and my assumptions continue to be my diet downfall. Today’s fail…. 1135 mg of sodium in ONE Paratha! That is almost half a teaspoon of salt in one 7″ flat bread. (2300 mg/ teaspoon) How is that even possible? I need to start reading the complete Nutritional Value Label on foods before I eat – anything. 🤦
I made one good decision yesterday. I chose a really good aerobic workout yesterday morning. It was a full 42 minutes long and it was intense. Fortunately, Dan came home with groceries when I was at the halfway point so I had to take a break to help him put them away. 😋
