Food, Glorious Food - or something
My eating habits are for the birds, and I will be the first to admit it.
I've decided that while I may not be ready to work on a "real diet", I can at least try to cut back on some things that aren't helping.
What does this mean? My biggest downfall is caffeine. Followed by sodium-laden foods (mainly those ready-to-eat foods). And don't get me started on sugar...
So, I've decided to try keeping track of my caffeine and sodium intakes for about a week, to see how (and where) I can improve - also, where is all of that damn sodium coming from anyways?
Since I'm a total caffeine addict, I've decided to try cutting my caffeine down by about 25%, to wean myself off without having the insane withdrawl. And the sodium? I've decided to go with the "normal range" of 1100-3300 mg. Eventually, I will drop down to the lower limit of 400-1000 mg.
If nothing else, it could probably help my blood pressure stay in a normal range. I'll see what happens, and where it goes.
