Salt is more important than sugar.

Salt is more important than sugar.

I believe this is the key. As a kind of proof, today I weighed about 316.7 later in the day, after eating a ton of ice cream last night. Yesterday I was around 319. In other words, I lost weight eating tons of Cold Stone. 

I believe flushing out the excess salt is what my body has been trying to do for months now, but I have been haplessly cutting it out from completing that process. I've been reading and have a ton of notes, it has likely also been giving me intermittent headaches. 500-1500mg seems to be a good cutoff point. Undoubtedly, I've been consuming much more than that.

I can see it all around me as well. Salt leads to excess water. Excess water causes bloat. Americans are nothing if not bloated. It also causes puffiness, and I see that puffy occasionally in myself and in many others.

This is the key. Intuition has led me here, and truly, an inkling of the solution to my weight woes has been on the outside of my mind for weeks now.

I wanted to make real progress this year on my weight, and now I'm on the cusp of doing that. Have already lost 20 pounds thus far, which isn't bad, but I see much higher potential.

I wonder what else I'm not addressing.

Some other updates: since returning back from new york in december, I've been working 3 jobs. Tough task some nights, long nights those are, but the dough is decent enough. It has helped me save up enough for my next breakthrough: I bought a house, my first! Closed on it 4/28. Visited nearly a dozen before I found the right one, even had a false hit but that may have worked out for me in the long run. 

Thats about it right now. I'll be heading to San Francisco in two weeks for the first time, just seeing the sights and things like that. Should be fun!

Then, the next week after that I get to move into my place.
