Hey everyone (again)!
The Open went okay - I had just one couple stop in, which wasn't too bad considering there was NFL football on for the first two hours. I discovered (actually I think I knew this already) I need to learn to be a little more assertive in getting people's contact info! This couple seemed to really like the house, and I found out they are definitely planning on purchasing in that town, AND they have a house to sell first...but I let them go without getting any names!
Oh well, it was good practice, and there are only a few houses for sale in that particular area so there's still a chance things might go my way.
Marcie - some of us on here are avid followers of the "Biggest Loser" TV show, so several weeks back we decided to hold our own "BL" contest each week, to celebrate the Chick that loses the most from Monday to Monday. So if you want "in," just post your beginning weight for the week after you weigh in (center or home is okay) on Monday, then remember to post again at the end of the week. The BL gets to be the "queen"
for the week!
Roxy - Hi! I'm glad you found us!!! You will hear lots of testimonials to the importance of watching your sodium intake here! Aphil is correct that from a "dieting" standpoint, sodium is a concern because it can cause you to retain water (as well as the long term effects of a high sodium diet!). For the average person, the half a pound or pound that might show up on the scale a day or two after indulging in a salty treat isn't a huge concern, but of course, when you're focusing on fractions of a pound at a time, losing 4/10 of a pound is cause for celebration and at the same time, gaining 4/10 is tragic!
So you'll see that avoiding sodium in all its forms - low sodium tuna, no "cured" foods like bacon, sausage, ham, no commercially produced soup - is something that LAWL promotes strongly. BTW, how long have you been doing LAWL - are you a veteran, or are you just checking it out, or somewhere in between?
Tams - according to my
purple card, 3 large eggs equal one protein. However, I'm still on the "old" plan and they are a 2x/week limited, so I don't know if they went unlimited on the "new" plan or not, or if maybe they changed the servings...?
I'm off to the grocery store to see if they have the Knudsen's juice or something comparable. If I don't go now, I know I'll forget AGAIN! I'll probably check in again right before bed to see if there are any new posts, otherwise I'll "talk" to you gals tomorrow!
