I was really disappointed when I stepped on the scale at TOPS last night and saw that I had gained three pounds since I had been there two weeks prior. And I was the one who had issued the challenge of a no-gain meeting! I wasn't the only one who gained, but that didn't take away my disappointment.
I knew we were having a guest plus a visit from our Area Captain at last night's meeting, so I went out of my way to prepare a good program. It was about sodium.
In the preparation of the program, I realized just how foolish I have been, knowing full well that I have high blood pressure and heart problems plus edema for which I take medication. Yet, I've done very little to control how much sodium is in my diet. That was kind of a wake-up call for me. Now I'm thinking that if I start eating with that in mind that maybe, just maybe I can start to drop some of my excess baggage that I've been carrying around.
