Inspiration

-
You find it when you least expect it. I stumbled on this blog about 2 months ago and have been lurking and reading it ever since. Today he hit 200 lbs lost! How awesome is that? How did he do it you might ask. What program did he use? Did he hire a trainer? Use one of those prepackaged food programs? Use a fat burner supplement? No! He did none of those things. He started moving more and eating less. He did it all on his own with just his own willpower and determination. For the last couple of weeks he's been tantalizingly close to the 200 mark but it was taunting him. Did he give up?? No way!! He started running!! I mean what a fabulous inspiration this guy is. If he can do it anyone can do it.

So now with that, having been such a slacker myself lately, I am using him as inspiration to get back on track. The food has been okay but I haven't been journaling everything. The exercise has not been good. It's been really hot here. Yesterday it was 92!!! The hottest temperature ever recorded in Hawaii was 95!!! It's shaping up to be another scorcher today too. It's 6:30 and I'm already sweating. So I'm going to work out here pretty quick before it gets much hotter. I just wanted to share this guy with you. He really is an inspiration. 200 lbs - all on his own!!! Way to go!!!!

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.
