Two Days and Counting

Today is the second day without salt. The above image is the same one displayed on the Sept 15th blog post because Sept 15th is the day I stopped adding additional salt to any food.

Today is the second day without any added salt. I’m holding tightly to skepticism regarding whether the abundant salt I’ve enjoyed adding to my food has been any significant factor in the too-frequent episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

It has also been two days in a row without any all-night occurrences of the fluttery behavior, but far be it from me to rush to judge salt as bearing any guilt whatsoever in leading my heart astray.

Today’s workouts weren’t much. A SkiErg session of 200 Calories at an easy average pace of 2:31/500m. The last 100 Calories included five moderate 10 Calorie intervals that were each done at about 2:20/500m. Smooth going for the heart with no irregularities or abnormal heart rate. The rowing session that followed was a very tiny one due to time constraints of the day’s other scheduled activities. It was only 500 meters at a moderate pace. But unlike the 500 meter session of two days ago when heart rate was so wild that it wouldn’t even register for a heart graph, heart rate and rhythm was normal and painted a normal graph within normal range for the effort.
