Back from a great weekend with the DIL's. Lots of shopping, lots of diet talk, lots of eating out...everywhere I turned it seemed I had the potential to go back to my old lifestyle, but for the most part I stayed on track. Although I had a few indulgences, even they were very small compared to the old days.
My DIL's and I talked a lot about healthy eating over the weekend. It seems everyone has a different idea about what is healthy. Some are only concerned with calories, some with exercise, some with clean eating etc. It was interesting to get their perspectives. As we talked I was able to focus my thoughts about what my idea of a healthy lifestyle is. I told the ladies I want to fuel my body with the least processed, most natural foods I can, but at the same time I don't want thinking about food to consume the majority of my waking moments. So I may use frozen veggies, and buy my Greek yogurt instead of making my own, but when making food choices I will attempt to make the best choice at that given time.
I find that I must not be recording my foods correctly on my food log. For instance I had three hard boiled eggs for breakfast one morning. I logged that and it records it as having 417mg of sodium. I don't add salt, and according to other sites an egg has 62mg of natural sodium per egg. So to my way of thinking I should have ingested 186mg of sodium for 3 eggs...Why the difference. The same thing happens when I put cooked trout on the food log. FS says 5oz of trout has 419mg sodium in one place and 28mg of sodium per fillet in another...which is right (and how many ounces do they consider 1 fillet?) I have not idea which one, o if either one, has the correct amount. Since I don't have issues with high blood pressure (just the opposite) I don't worry too much about sodium. I don't eat very many processed foods, don't put salt on my foods, and choose lower sodium whenever I have a choice. All of this just makes me wonder if the things I record are even close to being correct...but as long as I'm losing weight and I don't have issues with diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure, I think I'll keep recording as I have been and ignore the sodium column.
Happy Monday everyone!
