I fell off the wagon and it ran me over!!!

Yesterday was the worse off program day I've had in a long, long while and by writing here first thing in the morning I hope to avoid it becoming an off program couple of days or week or month or whatever......

I woke up yesterday with the best intentions. I planned on riding my bike to WW but after getting up and moving my heart just wasn't in it. I was really dreading the 30 mile ride. So I decided to drive to weigh-in and take a 6 mile walk after. By the time I got to WW I was exhausted (and I'd done nothing!!!). Took my walk really slow; but that's also because I'm on the final book of the Dark Tower and I'm dying to see how it ends. After my walk I met Charlie at the Yacht Club for lunch. I WAS STARVING!!!! We shared a hamburger and a spinach salad and a giant cookie.... It was great but I was still hungry. On the way home I stopped at the store and got Fudge Mint covered Oreos and 4 Neestle crunch bars. I ate 2 bars on the way home and 6 cookies with milk once I got home. I then took a nap and when I woke I felt like I had been drugged. I felt better in the afternoon and we had dinner about 7 pm. Later, about 9 pm, I started in on the cookies and milk again. I went to bed around 10 and that was it for the night.

This morning I feel much better. I want this mess to stop now and I need to do whatever is necessary to make that happen. I will get rid of those cookies and remaining candy bars to avoid temptation today. I will eat reasonably today; Charlie will be working so there's no reason not to eat well. I will go shopping for the week and cook as necessary so I have good stuff to eat. Althouh I won't be exercising today since my knee is acting up; I will exercise everyday next week. My knee has been bothering me for almost a week now. It feels like there is bone on bone action going on inside. Looking up the symptoms it seems to be an inflammation of the patella tendon in front or the lining on the back of the knee cap. In either case treatment is an anti-inflammatory and rest. So today it's motrin all day and no exercise. Tomorrow exercise begins again. It doesn't really hurt when I exercise, I can just feel something is not right.

Okay, I feel better, stronger, and more able to pull myself back up and get back on track. Today will be a good day. I will work on cleaning up my room and getting ready for my craft business to begin.......

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
