Improvements and updates

I've had my BodyMedia Fit (BMF) for about five weeks now. I still love it, which is not to say it's been without its kinks. My display wasn't syncing well to the armband so I replaced the battery. I still had problems. I spoke to customer service and they were very helpful. They covered my shipping to send my original back and they sent me a new one. There was a glitch in their system, so I actually received TWO replacement displays. I still need to send the second one back but almost every person I've spoken to there was helpful (the one that wasn't was named Steve. MY Steve is much better) and they emailed me another UPS shipping label for the second one. The new display syncs better and I've been really pleased with the customer service. Better yet, my BMF has served its purpose: I'm back into the low 140s and weigh less now than I have since college. I'm aiming for just below 140 and will maintain there. I think that's a good weight for me.

Speaking of a good weight for me, there are bathing suit pictures of me on Facebook. I didn't cringe. I didn't untag myself. I didn't criticize every thing I saw wrong with myself in the pictures. I LIKED THE PICTURES. I have never liked the way I looked in a bathing suit, ever. So this is huge news for me. My body is not perfect. But I accept it for what it is and I am proud of how I look now. I've made a lot of progress and I'm proud of what my hard work has accomplished. For 3 kids in 3.5 years, I look pretty dang good. :)

I had a business opportunity that sounded great. Teaching three days a week at a new fitness place in Grass Lake. I was excited, until I saw the facility and met the woman in charge. Nothing was ready. The room that I would have been teaching in was just walls and a tile floor. No mirrors, no fans, no stereo. The woman in charge seemed scattered and all over the place, NOT the sort of person you want to go into business with. Then she mentioned I'd have to bring my own stereo and fans, she wanted me to paint the wall, and honestly expected to consistently have 15 people per class (at this point she had not advertised or researched or anything) and make $900 a month. The signs couldn't have been more clear if they were neon and flashing. Moral of the story: not every opportunity is a GOOD opportunity. Trust your gut.
