It is health that is real wealth & not pieces of gold & silver. Gandhi

Things look so different now, stopping by Arby's for a Jamocha Shake never made me "think" before. Now, it's like how many "points" which translated means how much "sodium" which is our focus. So is it worth it... obviously my husband thought it was as he stopped by there on the way home today. So how much... Arby's, like most fast food chain places (I can't even call them restaurants as their food is ANYTHING but nutritious) has a Nutrition Calculator on-line. They break it down like this: Vanilla Shake Mix / 350 mg sodium & Jamocha Syrup / 43 mg sodium which is 393 mg sodium total. The total daily amount for my husband is 2,000 mg... so you do the math on if this was a good choice, or not...

Sometimes it comes down to enjoying the things in life that make you happy, the small things that just make you smile. Then you just balance out the rest and continue moving forward.
