Wrap up of Week 1:

-
Not a bad week if I do say so myself. I pretty much just kept track this week. Once I saw how bad it was going I did try to reign my eating in but otherwise I just ate like I normally do. Here is the summary:

Average daily calories: 1925
fat: 67
protein: 106
carbs: 207

Average daily exercise calories: 450

Overall, not bad. There are definetly a few places I need to work on. I need to become more consistent in my diet. My daily calories ranged from 1700 to 2100, whick is not really that bad but I'd like to be around 1700-1800 everyday. I would also like to increase my activity calories to around 600 per day. Since I took 2 days off this week that shouldn't be too hard.

The whole point of this week was to see what exactly was going on with my eating/exercising and now I know. This coming week I will try to tweak it some so that it's more in line with how I want it to be.

I have to say though, I did not stuff myself once this week; okay except for Sunday breakfast. Other than that I was full or most times just satisfied and not stuffed. Sometimes at lunch I felt a little full but since I mostly have salads for lunch, that passed pretty quickly.

Well, I'm declaring this week a major success. Now I need to plan for next week (which starts today) and get ready to head off to WW........

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.
