Day 2 of 30

I'm a Biggest Loser fan. When it first come on 6 years ago (I think) I thought it was absolutely the stupidest idea ever. I did not watch the first couple of seasons. Then I think I caught part of the 3rd season and thought it was pretty good. I watched the 4th season and really enjoyed it. By the 5th season I was hooked. I was so happy when Alli won. Yea!! A woman!!! Then they did the first families and it was pretty good. Now the newest season is couples, I think that's what it's called. Anyway, the thing I love about the Biggest Loser is not that the people lose an incredible amount of weight and change their lives and do it all through eating and exercise. No. Those great reasons are not the reason I watch again and again. The real reason I watch is Jillian. I would kill to have her as my trainer. I love the way she pushes the contestants and won't take excuses. I love that because most people are capable of much more then they do but they don't push themselves. It takes someone like Jillian to force you to step outside your comfort zone and push your limits. So Jillian is the reason I turn back to the Biggest Loser over and over and over.......

Well, a couple of weeks ago it hit me that I just work out better with DVDs. During strength training I do not push myself as hard as I could. In fact, if I'm following a routine that is written on paper, no matter how hard this workout may be I will not break a sweat. That's how easy I take it. But if I'm following a DVD I will do exactly what they are doing if it kills me. I realized this and then thought, why fight it?? If it works for me go with it. So I started looking around for some new DVDs. Wait for it....You know it's coming..... I found Jillian's DVDs. I bought a 5 box set and then a separate one. I actually thing I purchased a duplicate of this set. It should be here in a couple of days so I'll see. I did the first workout today, Cardio Kick boxing, and it kicked my butt. That's what I want. I'm very pleased and can't wait to try the rest of them.

I'm excited and I'm tired. I think I'm heading off to bed.

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.
