Frozen Yogurt, it's not just for breakfast anymore

-
For the last 4 days I have felt like the Goodyear blimp and I'm not sure why. I hate when I get this feeling, especially when I've done nothing to bring it on (at least I think I haven't). I know my water intake is down a little, but it's 2L instead of 3L. Could that make that much of a difference?? And on Thursday my eating was screwy, but yesterday I made a point to eat good, whole food at regular intervals. That didn't help. Ugh!!! I'm not sure what to do to get rid of this feeling. Oh well, I guess I'll just keep eating right, drinking water, and working out and hopefully this too shall pass.

The Bodybugg continues to provide a whole lot of fun, interesting facts. I know how many calories I burn at rest. When I'm walking. When I'm working out. When I'm eating. It's big fun. Yesterday I managed to create a deficit between calories burned and calories eaten. Not as big a one as I wanted, but a deficit none the less. Actually, because I had school yesterday morning I didn't get a chance to work out. If I had worked out I would have easily gotten my 500 calorie deficit for the day. So I'm good. I'm pretty on track and if I just stick to my plan I'll be fine.
The program provides a meal plan for you based on a your preferences and a whole bunch of questions you have to answer. I have a problem with some of the meal plans though. Here is today's:



Notice what's for breakfast, 1/2 a cup of frozen yogurt?!?!?!?! Now I'm not sure why they would recommend you start your day with a frozen confection, but I do know myself. If I started my day with frozen yogurt that would set me up for a free for all binge all day long. I realize it's just a computer program that doesn't know the difference between frozen yogurt and oatmeal, it's only looking at the numbers, but that's just a little crazy. And seriously, what am I supposed to make with lunch?? Shredded cheese (which I'm not a big fan of cheese at all), Wheat Thins (which will send my blood sugar on a roller coaster ride), yogurt, strawberries, and carrots. There is way to many carbs and not enough protein to balance it out. I would rather eat a huge salad with hummus and goat cheese. That would be a much more tasty and satisfying lunch. So, yeah, not following their meal plan, it's too weird. And there's way to many processed foods in it. I just don't eat that much processed food anymore and I'm not going to start now.

Okay, I've rambled on enough for now. I should get my butt moving. I have lots of studying to do and errands to run today.

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.
