Thank you for the cardigan post! I thought I was the only one who pondered the question. I’m sure I’m overthinking it, but I always leave the bottom 2 and top 2 buttons undone…at least I’m not the only one!!

Random question for all the dieters out there: what do you eat the day before you’re trying to get a good weigh-in? I did WW a few years ago and remember plateauing a ton but being able to get enough forward momentum by eating very “clean” the day or two before a weigh-in, so even if the number was artificially low, it was enough to keep me committed. Problem is, I don’t remember what I ate beyond yogurt and fiber one in the morning, and then a lot of lemon water throughout the day. What’s a good low sodium lunch and dinner? (Or maybe I just avoided soy sauce, popcorn, and pickles? Hmmn.) Any ideas greatly appreciated… I’ve been plateaued for weeks and just need to see a new number on the scale!
Question: What’s a good low sodium lunch and dinner?
Answer: Anything you prepare yourself using non-packaged ingredients and that you don’t add salt or seasonings/condiments containing salt to.
Broiled salmon, a roasted sweet potato, and a light salad is an easy option.
Hive! I need some input. I just bought my first condo and am trying to figure out financing asap. Already preapproved and am putting 20% down, so have been told I’ll “get the best rates,” not that I know whether that’s true or not. I’m not sure I’ll be in this place more than 10 years, but I’m still leaning toward 30 year fixed since the interest rates don’t seem to be that much lower for a 10 year ARM. I’ve been talking to two mortgage brokers my agent recommended, both of whom are giving me similar rates and I’ve looked online (where rates actually seem to be higher), but am wondering if I should be shopping around more? Any advice about fixed v. ARM? Would love to hear anyone’s two cents who has been through the process recently.
What’s the difference between fixed vs. ARM? To me, the security of a fixed rate was worth a lot…
As far as shopping around, you might check a local credit union if you are a member.
I just bought a house and I was happy to grab a 30-year fixed. Interest rates are at historic lows and no way would I go for an ARM at this point, especially given that the rates aren’t much different anyway.
