So far today, I've done alright. So far I've gotten 4 cups of water, 3 fruits/veggies, 8.5 hours of sleep, relaxed, logged all my food so far, taken my vitamin, am blogging right now, and I know I will not drink today.

I'm having trouble with the fiber in relation to the sodium limit though. Everything has so much sodium! I never realized it before. I had some brown rice at lunch and normally salt it like crazy, but today I didn't use any salt at all. I've already had 1,490 mg of sodium today, but only 10 grams of fiber. I'm going to try to eat an apple at work tonight, because it's the highest fiber produce with the least sodium that I can think of, but it still will only give me about 4 grams of fiber. To get to 25 grams I'm going to HAVE to use a supplement. I'm just scared at how my body might, ahem, react... Haha. The sodium and fiber are going to be a definite challenge for me, but I'm going to do my best. Well, it's time for me to go pack some dinner for work tonight. Bye!
