Body Bugg arrived this week...
Saturday, May 30th 2009
I'm both excited and disappointed.Excited because I love tools that help me with the details.
Disappointed because it can't be used without a subscription -- which is at one end (at highest cost) a month-to-month subscription, and at the other end (at lowest cost) a yearly fee.
So, I travel north to work four days next week, and will begin real "testing" of the device during my six-months "free" subscription period (included in cost of device). If I'm happier...

When I had a kitchen I never imagined how hard it might be to keep healthy habits without a fully functional kitchen!
The luxury item I miss most: filtered water. The basic item I miss most: a kitchen sink.

Revisit Self-Sabotage...
Wednesday, May 20th 2009
revisited the self-sabotage entry for Silver level.In grief, do I self sabotage because I feel some twisted guilt that I am alive when my middle sister is not?
She'd be so sad for me if that's why taking care of myself has dropped off my priority list.
Better this week - moving well, eating more greens.
I will picture middle sister cheering me on to success. Something she always did for me!
