And we're back....

This is my first full week of work since December. It was tough. Between recovering from the cold and it being the first full week of teaching in over a month - it was really, really tough. I planned on getting up every morning and running. Didn't happen.  I planned on going to the gym in the evenings. Didn't happen. I planned on going to WW tonight. Didn't happen. I did do fairly well on my eating.  I didn't track everyday but the days I did were awesome. I haven't been overly hungry so it's been easy to eat well. I did realize - again - that I need to make sure I eat enough. A couple of days I went light on lunch and could really feel it when I got home.  On the days I was sure to eat a decent lunch I had no problem with my energy levels. So I really have to pay attention to lunch. Next week we only have to teach for 3 days. One day is a workshop type thing for the students and they will leave at 1:15.  Then on Friday we have a teacher workshop. All the Catholic Schools get together. It's boring but at least we get done at noon.   We will be listening to a speaker. Maybe she'll talk about sanibel island but more likely it will be about teaching.

Since I failed at everything this week I have developed a new plan.  Starting on Monday I am going to run at night after we walk the dogs. It's light enough now that running until 6 or 6:30 is not a problem. On the nights I don't run I will do some weight training at home.  I clearly am not going to get up in the mornings for now so I will do my workouts at night.  I think that will work better.

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.
