Everyone has been curious...

Helen asked in a comment (and I've recieved multiple questions verbally) about the "growth" on my mom's arm in the one picture from my previous post (the 4th picture).



The answer is: A Body Bugg.





Here is a little blurb from their website and a link (at the end) in case you're now even more curious!


It utilizes a patented process for interpreting calorie burn called "sensor fusion" developed by BodyMedia, Inc. This process involves collecting a range of body-data using multiple physiological sensors instead of a single sensor, which is what other calorie estimation devices such as pedometers and heart rate monitors rely on. It's this multi-sensor approach that enables bodybugg™ to "see" the wearer's context (whether they are sitting, sleeping, jogging, walking, etc.) that makes bodybugg™ such a reliably accurate device for calorie expenditure estimation.


The Physiological Sensors:
- Accelerometer
- Heat Flux
- Galvanic Skin Response

- Skin Temperature


The data these 4 sensors collect, in conjunction with the wearer's specific body parameters (age, gender, height, weight) enable the most accurate estimation of energy expenditure on the market today outside of a clinical setting. Click here for details.

With Kendra's express permission...

I just returned from my trip to California...I was able to see my family, which is a huge blessing from God (more on that later!) and of course the 80 degree weather didn't hurt anything either! :) Anyway, for now, here are a few pictures of The Newest Dixon's Wedding! I have Kendra's express permission to post these, so enjoy!
