Moving on.....

-
Well, the recovery process goes on. Roads are being prepared, buildings are being inspected and life goes on. As you can imagine that's all anyone is talking about. My boss left yesterday for Kona and she said it's a ghost town. Lots of athletes arrive on the Monday before Ironman so they a week to acclimatize to the weather and conditions. Well yesterday afternoon there were still only a handful of athletes there, basically those who were there before Sunday. I'm sure they will all be getting there today or tomorrow.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Things are going well with me. I have been focused on weight loss for 2 weeks now and am down just about 4 lbs. I must qualify that with stating that there was some water weight loss. But, I have been restricting my calories by about 1000 calories a day (through exercise and diet) so 2 lbs a week loss is conceivable.

My hip pain is getting worse. I was just reading back through my blog and the first time I mention it is Sept. 9th. That's over a month. If I've had this this long I probably should go to the doctor and have it checked out. There are times when it's worse than others, like today - it's just killing me. Okay, I'll call the dr. today.

I need to get to work. I have nothing to say and I'm boring myself :)

LOL! You tell it so straight-but you are not boring to me. As for the weight loss--way to go. It takes time, that's all I can say. You want it to happen so fast, since you are being good with food and/or even suffering, but 2 lb. a week is about right and doesn't leave you weak. The main thing I did was really watch everything I ate for about 2 months and after that it becomes routine.
As for the hip pain, I've been through that too. It could be a tight muscle causing this or it could be something else, so best to get it checked.

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.
