Wed 22 Aug

Sleep was somewhat better last night; I had a long restless period in the middle, but I think I slept okay on either end. At any rate, I certainly feel better rested this morning. Scale is still up at 137 which likely means the work weigh-in won't be successful, but since the scales are at least a couple of pounds different, it remains to be seen. We have a birthday lunch today at Chili's. I went to the website for nutrition information last night and was appalled at the sodium content of almost everything. The "best" choices are around 750-800 mg, and the worst one I saw was a single serving with 5500 mg of sodium! It should require a warning to consumers. I ended up with a nice low calorie lunch but still a salt bomb.
