Too Much Sodium = One Bloated Face

A few Sunday mornings ago I was on Fox Channel 32 for Bears Game Day Live. I HATE the early morning TV shows because I look like I'm still sleeping and in this case, my face was all puffed up...which is what happens when you eat as much salt as I did the night before.

You'd think I'd learn my lesson because I've done this before, but Saturday, I couldn't control myself. I had to eat baskets and baskets of chips and junk food at Soldier Field during the U2 concert. You'd think I'd be smarter realizing what all the sodium does to my body, but noooo!!!

Stick a basket of pita chips, potato chips, cheese and caramel popcorn, pretzels, and I have to eat it all. Then I wake up Sunday morning after barely sleeping because I was too jacked up to fall asleep after seeing a terrific concert and is it any wonder I looked so bad!
