Back from a business trip out in the high desert. Lots of time by myself, interesting thoughts. At least to me.* * *
However we live, we live by the choices we make. What is relevant in my life, who I am, who I was, who I become are based on the choices I make. [Real awareness that I have this freedom because of where/when I was born. It's a privilege that many in the world do not enjoy.]
If I'm not happy with what I surround myself with, I have to make different choices. M...
Friday again...

Just finished a call to baby sister, in early to work.I'm doing okay. Work at the office is in a sweet spot of sorts. Able to be productive, some rewarding things, not beating myself up over what I can't do, plans for future to improve some things that have been frustrating. Good enough for a job.
Being active - Went to the gym 2x this week (meeting self-imposed goal), rode bike a couple times, did an at-home exercise DVD and some outside walking.

A little more than a week ago I was home sick, having late breakfast with hubby. Knock on the door was the county sheriff.

Anger Management?!

I had one of those eye-opening moments last night, one that made me stop and wonder "how often do I respond this way?!"Last evening I was working in my garden when my hubby came home. Once he'd gotten himself settled, he came out to the garden and was willing to help. We're still in slug season, so I pointed out some slugs I couldn't reach and asked him to do away with the hungry little beasties. And then I got angry with him for the way he was killing the slugs.

Body Bugg week 1
Sunday, June 7th 2009
Completed my first week on Body Bugg, down about 1.5 pounds! Yay! (Good and bad with that. Weight down, but body fat % up - sodium? lack of activity because of unusual 12-hour and 800 miles of commuting I had to do last week? Probably.) I had my complementary beginning phone support from the Body Bugg people on Saturday afternoon. Really looking forward to digging in to the BB process. My hopes are good that the challenges will be faced, instead of hiding behind chocolate cake binges!...
