My life, take 2

-
Yesterday did not go as planned. I did get my workouts in, weights and a short bike ride, so that was good. The food was not so good. By the time I was done working out and showering and everything, it was almost 11:30. Hubby and I decided to just go run some errands and then go to lunch. I was adamant about where I wanted to go because I did not want to get something fried and goopy. There's a local chain that has this great veggie sandwich that I love, so I insisted we go there. Everything was going fine, I didn't even have a beer at lunch, until the manager, a friend of ours, bought us dessert. Brownies with chocolate sauce and ice cream. This is not good. Luckily we got it to go and I was insistent that I wasn't going to eat it. Chocolate does terrible things to my body and generally it's not worth it. Plus, I've been eating way too much junk lately. Well, it got home and began to call my name. Hubby tasted it and next thing you know the bugger is gone. We ate it. I pretty much felt like crap the rest of the day and this morning is not fun. Let's just say I'm suffering from intestinal distress. Ugh!!!!

One thing that did hit me yesterday, or last night, is that I've fallen into old patterns and mindsets. I ate the brownie thing yesterday afternoon and so I thought to myself that I just wouldn't eat dinner. That's wrong. That's not the way to do this. My initial thoughts this morning, since I feel so crappy, were that I would fast today. When I thought about it a little more I realized that's not the thing to do. My eating habits have been crap lately. I think the most important thing is to get back into good eating. So instead of fasting I'm going to eat right today. Good, healthy food in small portions. I'm going to eat at least 4 times today and I can almost guarantee by the end of the day I'll feel better.

Instead of 'working' on weight loss this week, I'm going to focus on getting back into my regular routines. Eating right, working out, sleeping 8 hours. Those are the things that will not only help me lose weight but will make me feel good. So that's the plan and it starts today.

Keep in mind too that you shared the brownie - so you didn't consume all of the calories you possibly could - moderation is a key to healthy eating - starvation and deprivation don't work in the long run.

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.
