TGIF.......

-
It's been a long week and I have been totally uninspired the entire week. I've taken the week off and I'm noticing some effects of that desicision. I'm much more tired than I am when I exercise. I eat whether I'm hungry or not. I don't think I've felt hungry in 2 days. I'm eating more than I normally do. I fully expect the scale to show an increase tomorrow morning. I don't like the way I feel and it's got to end. I am convinced that the week of rest is overall good for my body though so I have followed through and been a slug all week.

Working through the Bob Greene book is proving to be very interesting. He has some issues you should discover about yourself before weight loss will be really successful. I really feel I've tackled most of these issues and faced my demons so to speak. My problem really is consistency. I will have major determination for days and then suddenly it will be gone. I need to develop a strategy for those times when determination leaves me. First thing I'm gonnna do is post some inspirational messages around my room here. I need to just power through those times of low motivation. That's what I really need to work on. I also need a reward system and I need a program for dealing with food. Some days I just really want something sweet and it's just really hard not to eat sweets. How do I deal with that? Maybe I make deals with myself. If I want a sweet I will need to exercise enough to work it off BEFORE I eat it. That may work. I really need to develop some new tricks to get me through this. I have only 20 lbs to lose and I really, really want to get rid of them. I have to focus on what I want most, not what I want now.

Wow, that's some heavy thinking for so early in the morning. Now it's time for some pictures....

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.
