I was worried about the constant EMF exposure and I actually think it was making me short of breath–I must be EMF sensitive. So I solved that mostly by powering the watch off except when I was taking my walks or doing my exercises and/or when I wanted to check my VO2 max or heart rate variability.
That means it won’t record all my steps, but since I’ve had the watch I have an idea what my walks (with the dog) amount to step-wise. I’m naturally walking about 7,000 steps and to hit 10,000 need an extra walk.
The watch has gotten me moving more. Not sure if it’s worth the price tag and wouldn’t have bought it on my own, but keeping it when it didn’t work out for my dad might end up being ok. Ended up getting it for $300 since I got bonus points for opening a new credit card.
I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…
