So yesterday turned into a day of rest for me. This typically happens on Friday and I am totally ok with that. My husband and I are endeavoring to start a major construction project so we spent quite a few hours at the supply store last night gathering the things we need to get started today. I can honestly say I am not sure we will hit the gym today. I do know that we will spend hours working on the renovation and that I will squeeze in some yoga at the very least in my living room tonight.
In other news, I have been reading labels lately, a lot. Can I just say there is tones of sodium in the weirdest things. Yesterday, I go to make lunch and start looking through my very bare cupboards (I need to get groceries) and decide that we'll have some beans. Not a great choice but it's in the cupboard. Well I get it going on the stove and look at the can. and OMG it has 45% of your daily sodium needs in one serving. The beans are sweet so I expected sugar not salt. But then, as I was standing there I had a flash back to Jamie Oliver's Eat to Save Your Life (here's the You Tube video of it) . At one point during the special he is cooking a spaghetti sauce and he demonstrates how easy it is to hide salt within the sauce. It just drove home the point that I really need to pay more attention to what I am eating. Sodium for me is huge, it makes me bloat up and nobody wants to be bloated. So that was the last pack of pre-made beans I'll be eating and thankfully it was the last can in the cupboard.
Are you surprised by what you find on nutritional label sometimes?
Have a fabulous Saturday!
Cheers!

Salt is one of the sneakiest culprits that can derail your success. I started paying attention to it a few weeks ago and I have been FLOORED by how much salt is found in some processed foods.
ReplyDeleteI think your renovation project sounds like it will keep you busy and burning calories even if you don't make it to the gym!
Have a good one!
