Working like a dog

-

That's what I've been doing. This week I worked Sunday and 2 nights at my part-time job. Also, it's the last week of school so I've been getting tests ready and doing final reviews and such. A busy, busy week. As a result I've been a little tired and out of it. But as the week draws to a close I find my energy and spirit improving...Hmmm....imagine that :)

Anyway, I have made some interesting discoveries these 2 weeks working 2 jobs. First, I don't get hungry at night. I just don't. The first night I worked until 10 I didn't eat anything and tried to eat when I got home. Mistake. I couldn't go to bed and I felt like crap. The next time I worked late I took a sandwich and ate it around 7:30. that was better but I still wasn't hungry when I ate. Last night I didn't eat at all and I didn't eat when I got home. This morning though I was hungry, really hungry. So what I'm discovering is that the more tired I am the less hungry I am. I'm eating less. The problem is that not eating makes me even more tired. So I need to work to find a balance between eating and tired.

At work the other night someone asked me if we had promise rings. I wasn't even sure what a promise ring was. I work at a Catholic school so was thinking it was a promise not to have sex, but I don't think that's it. Anyway, I found this website, makemypromisering.com and saw what they were. So now I know. Cute.....

With all that's been going on this week, not a whole lot of working out was happening. But that all changes tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day of school and starting on Saturday I go into full on Biggest Loser mode. I plan on working out a lot and eating right and losing a ton of weight over the next 7 weeks. I'll go into more details this weekend, but needless to say I'm excited to be done with school and work on me for a while. I really think it will work this time because I won't be just laying around. I'll be teaching summer school and working so no time to sleep on the couch. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

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.
