This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boar’s Head for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you are trying to lose weight and are drinking lots of water like you should be, most likely you want to watch your sodium intake. While sodium is necessary because it plays a major role in the regulation of your blood pressure, too much can bring on health risks and most likely water retention which can be NOT fun when you are trying to lose those inches. 

For those of you that are watching your sodium like I am trying to do and enjoy deli meat and cheeses, you will want to try out Boar’s Head lower sodium deli meats and cheeses. Boar’s Head has an awesome line of YUMMY deli meat and cheeses that are made with high quality ingredients and packed with NATURAL flavor.

Choosing lower sodium products that meet health goals without sacrificing flavor is the best of both worlds. Combining Boar’s Head lower sodium meats and cheese with fruits, vegetables and whole grains is a healthy start.

For instance, doesn’t this Lower Sodium Turkey and Lacey Swiss Sandwich sound good?

This sandwich is made with their Premium 47% Lower Sodium Oven Roasted Skinless Turkey Breast. I think it looks delicious. This is just one of the YUMMY sandwiches that are featured on the Boar’s Head website. I have tried this oven roasted skinless turkey breast and LOVE it!

Here are some of the other lower sodium products you will find on their website:

• Bologna
• Black Forest Boneless Ham
• Smoked Ham Steak
• Gold Label Imported Swiss Cheese
• Lite Beef Frankfurters
• Muenster Cheese, American cheese & more.

When it comes to shopping, I always try to find the best deal. If I am looking to buy something online, I will not only search different sites for the lowest price, but I also almost always look for some type of coupon or promo code to get me some kind of savings. Even if I am getting FREE shipping or 10% off, any types of savings is a score for me! You have to be silly not to try to save money… 🙂

I just downloaded this neat browser extension Coupons at Checkout that allows you to find coupon codes during checkout. I usually will look for coupon or promo codes right before I checkout, so this new extension makes finding these coupon/promo codes easy. With select merchants you will find suggested codes to save you money when you are checking out.

Using Firefox I downloaded the Coupons At Checkout browser plugin and visited the Target.com website.

Once I placed the cursor in the enter your promotional code field, the Coupons at Checkout plugin popped up and showed me some codes I could use to try to save some money! What is neat is this plugin has coupons to 100,000’s of online merchants including Dell, Amazon, Target, Toys “R” Us, The Home Depot and many more!

For those interested, Coupons At Checkout is FREE and compatible with PC and Mac computers, and with all of the most popular browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

When I graduated high school back in 1994 I signed up for college right away. I had lots of dreams and I knew that I needed to go to college to further my education. So I went to a local community college for a semester and then decided to go onto a vocational school that seemed like the best choice at the time. Not only was it probably not the best of choice, it was rather quite expensive. Once I started having kids, my dreams of going to college were put on hold. I worked  job and going to school full time was not in the question if I wanted to spend quality time with my family.

Now that my youngest son just turned 5 and will be starting school this year, I decided it was time to get my butt back into school. I went online to that local community college that I once went to years ago and enrolled in the Spring 2013 semester. I picked some classes, bought my books and software and have been officially a college student for 2 weeks now!

I currently go to school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and can be excited for the weekends now like my kids. Normally every day can be like a weekend when you work full time from home, now I know what TGIF means to those that work and go to school… 🙂

What am I taking?

• Since I am a website designer and blogger, I thought it would only make sense to take a HTML web design class. I know basic HTML, but since technology is always changing, I want to learn more about XHTMl, XML and most of all, HTML5 that is currently being developed. Right now some of the newer versions of the browsers are already preparing and ready for HTML5. 
• As I mentioned before, I like to design websites so I am taking a Dreamweaver CS6 class. I have used this program to make some of my sites, but I only know the basics. I want to learn how to use some of the advanced features of this program and turn those work in progress websites of mine into something I am proud of. 

Right now I am only taking 2 classes, but will start a Photoshop CS5 class next month. I didn’t want to overwhelm myself when starting school last month, so I decided to just start with a couple classes to get back into the groove of going to school. It has been over a decade since I last took a class, but something I have always wanted to do since my there are so many things I need to learn with my career choice.

Want to see my school mascot?

Now that I have been back in school a couple weeks now, I am looking forward to getting good grades and being able to take at least 4 classes in the Fall 2013 semester. I like the classes that I am currently taking since I am already a little familiar with the subjects, but I am really wanting to take  digital photography class next semester so I can make better use of my Nikon D5100.

I also want to wear one of the cool college sweatshirt hoodies like I have been seeing so many others on campus with, even if the mascot is a silly beaver!

If you are active on Twitter and have some fans, chances are you would like to sometimes schedule a Tweet or Tweets to go out when you aren’t available to post them manually. For the longest time I didn’t know there were services out there that allowed you to do this. Once I found out you can schedule tweets, I use a free service to send out tweets for certain things I am trying to promote so that if I get busy I won’t have to worry about hopping online to Tweet my followers.

Below is a list of the FREE services that allow you to schedule a tweet in advance:

1. Buffer – Uses an algorithm to determine the best time of day for your tweets to be sent and automagically posts them for you through the day.
2. Dynamic Tweets – Allows you to schedule up to 20 tweets per month at no cost. There is an option to schedule unlimited Tweets for a fee.
3. Future Tweets – Use this service to schedule recurring your tweets daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
4. Gremln – This service not only allows you to schedule tweets, you also control your other major social media networks, including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, from one dashboard.
5. Hootsuite – Offers a great set of tools for managing y0ur social network profiles including the AutoSchedule feature that enables smart scheduling to maximize reach and impact of your tweet.
6. LaterBro – A service that lets you send your Facebook and Twitter updates at a later time.
7. Pluggio – Allows you to manage multiple Twitter accounts, get more followers and schedule up to 10 tweets per month.
8. SocialOomph – Not only can you schedule tweets with this service, you can track keywords, purge your DM inbox, purge your tweets and more!
9. Stumble Upon Short URL Service (Su.pr) – This is my FAVORITE service. This is a url shortening service with the ability to simultaneously syndicate your content to multiple social media websites. This service lets you know the best suggested time to send out your tweets too!
10. Twuffer – Easy to use service that allows you to schedule your upcoming tweets anytime of the day or night!

Now these are just 10 of the FREE services out there and I am sure there are a ton more. I personally use the Su.pr free service to schedule my Tweets each day because this helps me get more FREE traffic from StumbleUpon too!

For those that schedule your tweets, what service do you prefer?
