"Hello, my name is Michelle and I am a bodybugg addict." (Crowd says, "hello Michelle")
It has been 24 hours since I have officially taken off my bodybugg and removed it from my house. I get up every morning between 5:05am and 5:15am to the sound of my phone trying to vibrate off my end table. Today my phone went off and not 5 seconds later I had a text message from Carmen saying the bugg did not download and is showing she burned no calories. Within 15 seconds came another text, and then another, and then another. By time I stumbled to my bathroom I had 5 text messages from an a panic stricken calorie tracking girl and thought to myself, "I have just transferred my OCD bodybugg habit to one of my Best friends and now she has it!" :)
As I made my way downstairs to start my normal routine of my day it occurred to me, my routine was broken. Normally I would get my tea, yes GREEN TEA, and then I would go and download my bugg, post my results on facebook, plan my meals for the day and then play around on facebook as I completed my waking up process (which really meant I was waiting for Teresa to post her bugg updates so I could compare to hers) With that gone today, I was lost. I had nothing to download, no meals to calculate and no waiting to compare to Teresa's stats. I had nothing to do!
(Luckily there was a HUGE bag from the Coach store to distract me, but only for a few minutes since I could not open the package until my husband woke up.. but that is another blog)
That is pretty much how the rest of my day went. I felt at a loss, like something was missing. No downloads to check, no steps to check, just me myself and I. I found myself at one point in the kitchen and I was feeling like I needed to snack and it crossed my mind, "If I eat that I am going to have to account for it" and then I remembered that I didn't have to account for it... or anything! Slowly, I started to feel this weight lift from my shoulders as the day progressed and I thought less and less about it and as I sit here tonight typing this I have to say.... it feels pretty damn good to be free of something that watches me like a hawk!
I did the work. I gave it my all, I achieved several goals and I am walking away... far away. I am thankful for my time with the bugg and it will be a stepping stone I will use for future clients to come but for me, I am done with it and I feel GREAT!
The question that now lingers is... what do I do with my mornings as I am waking up? ;)
