Hi Pat,
I used to love eating veggies until recently. About a week ago there was a worm in my frozen vegetable dinner and have had a hard time eating any veggies since then. You suggested drinking them, and I purchased a 12oz bottle of V8 this morning, it has 70 cal and no fat, but has 720 mg of sodium, and I haven't drank it yet, because I'm afraid I will go into sodium overload. Well I plan my meals out in advance and my sodium intake is already quite high, how can I incorporate this juice into my plan if I'm already over my daily sodium intake? Below you will find my nutrional Info for the last 7 days. Please disregard the 1st 2 lines as I don't know what or where they came from.

I've been on the program since 6/23, starting weight 178, goal weight 145, current weight 171, I'm 41 and excercise 6 days a week with 3 days of ST. I've lost 7 lbs total, but for the last 2 weeks I've been stuck at 171 and the program suggest I lower my cal/fat intake. I was on 1600/17, but have gone down to 1400/15, so therefore you can see the changes in the log that show where the change started. With the sodium being so high, I don't want this to add to my weight loss issue of not losing. As you can see, I drink plenty of water and get lots of exercise, I tend to meet my daily lf/lc goals, but the lbs don't seem to be coming off, but I have noticed the inches are coming off because my clothes fit much better as I also feel better.
Please advise on how I can get the veggies in without going into sodium overload and not going over my cal intake to much?
Thanks in advance.
