Stress

-

To say I've been stressed lately would be putting it mildly. I have been internally freaking out for weeks now. Money has gotten so tight things are not good, not good at all. Thankfully, I investigated ways to get out of the situation we are in and a path appeared yesterday. I'm not going to go into detail just suffice it to say there may be a light at the end of this tunnel.

Healthwise I've been doing really good. Eating has been pretty good. I've been working out and actually following the schedule for Bob's Inside Out Method. It's exciting that I've actually been following the schedule without trying to change it up and that I've continued after taking a day off. That is one of my biggest downfalls - taking a day off that becomes 2 and 3 and a week... it's horrible. But I worked out Monday, took Tuesday off, worked out Wednesday, took Thursday off then worked out today. Yeah me!!!!

I have noticed no difference on the scale though. I know it's only been a few days and I need to be patient, but the first few days is when I usually notice a change and then it stabilizes for a few days, then moves again. So why the stall? I believe it's the stress. I'm not stress eating - wow, how different - but I am constantly worried and that releases the stress hormone and that makes you store fat. Hopefully, now that I've found a possible solution, the stress level will decrease and I will start losing.

In other health news, we have realized that it is almost time for Hubby to start looking around for medicare supplement plans!! How is that possible? How can we be this old? It seems like just yesterday we were 20 somethings with years ahead of us yet. Wow!! Time really does fly when you're having fun.

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.
