I love long weekends....

-
I am so looking forward to this weekend - you have no idea exactly how much. Not that I have any big plans, I just need some time to myself without being sick. I feel like I lost last weekend because I was sick all weekend. Over the next 3 days I want to get some spring cleaning done. I need to clean out my pantry, god knows whats all in there. I need to clean up the studio, it has totally gotten out of control. I need to clean my computer room/bird room - it's getting crowded in there. I need to go to the pet store to get some dishes for the new bird. I need to clean and restock Sammy's cage with branches. I need to scrub the living room floor. I want to go through all my clothes and get rid of those that I don't wear anymore. I also want to list some stuff on Craigslist and get it out of my house. I'm in the mood to clean, purge, and lighten up. I can't wait.

There's been no workouts the last 2 days. Swimming on Wednesday really wiped me out, plus my nose has been excessively stuffy since then. Tomorrow it really starts in earnest. I'll have 3 days to get some good activity in and I plan on taking advantage of it. I'm going to do my scheduled workouts plus I'm going hiking and possibly an ocean swim early one morning. I'm really looking forward to it.

Tomorrow I also return to Weight Watchers. I haven't been there in 2 years, it was around this time in 2006 that I quit going. I tell myself that I know the program, I don't need to go to the meetings, I can do it on my own. But the truth is there is something about going to the meetings that helps a lot. So I'm going to give it another shot. A little accountability is a good thing. On my training plan is a 25 mile bike ride and I will start it by riding to my meeting.

So yeah, I'm going to use the weekend to clean up, regroup, refocus, and shake this cold completely. I'm looking forward to it. Hope you all have a great long weekend.

I didn't go through WW to lose my weight, but I understand needing the support of a group. It makes a difference when you're surrounded by people who understand what you're going through, even if you're not starting from scratch. That's pretty nice that you can ride to your meetings!

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.
