More on binge eating

-
Today has been awesome. I went and worked out - did weights for an hour - and felt fabulous. Leaving the fitness studio I decided I needed to eat really healthy today. I headed off to the store and stocked up on cereal, almond milk, salad stuff, and fruit. Then I came home a proceeded to eat like a champ. I have not felt so good in a long, long time. I've eaten right around 1000 calories so far today and I'll probably have 300-400 for dinner. I've burned around 1500 so far today and I haven't done much and the day is not over. That is a good day.

I've been thinking about why I did what I did yesterday and something hit me that I hadn't considered before. Yesterday morning I was really hungry and went to McDonald's for breakfast. I never do that. When I want to eat out for breakfast I go to Starbuck's - they have this fabulous oakcake that I seriously crave sometimes. But I went to McD's for some unknown reason. I got, well I should say I ordered a sausage muffin with egg, what I got was one with ham - bleh!!! But I ate it. That seemed to start the whole binge. For lunch I had some braised beef from the cafeteria but then I went and bought a Reese's candy after I ate. Then all that garbage on the way home. It really is like McD's started something. I read The End of Overeating a while back and I really think what he says in the book is true. I have eaten Starbuck's for breakfast and never craved sugary stuff all day long. I ate McD's on Friday and all I could think about was sugar and fat....mmmmm, yum! That is crazy. I know that a steady diet of junk makes you crave more junk, but I have never experience something so quick and so profound. Wow!!! It really makes you think. So, not only is sugar out of my diet but apparently fast food of any kind also. It's not like I eat a ton of fast food, in fact I don't think I've been to McD's 3 times in the past year - oh, I lie. I have gone a couple of times recently to get their smoothies, but that's all. I gave up fast food years ago just because I realized how bad it was for you. Ugh!!! I set myself up for a horrible day without even realizing it. Ugh!!!!

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.
