The time is right

-
Yesterday everything ended. I am no longer waiting. I am no longer stressing over things. I am no longer..... So here begins a new mindset. Now is the time to start. I have to make a change and I have to do it immediately. First, a couple of things. My back has been bothering me and I think it's because of the size of my stomach. It is huge. Also, my foot is bothering me some and I am so sure that is due to weight I can't even consider any other option. And tired. So, so, so tired. And really tired of being tired. So here's the plan starting today. I'm working out every day and staying active on top of that. Today I start with Jillian and a trip to the beach with Bella. Then it's off to work. No time to rest there. Tomorrow it's up early, workout with Jillian and off to work at 7:30. Home by 4:30 and it's walking the dogs and resting. Monday it's an hour workout, probably Bob, cleaning house, running up to school, maybe taking Bella and hiking a little. The point is to keep busy and not spend hours at the computer or sleeping on the couch. I'm done with that. Then there is food. For today and tomorrow I'm just tracking calories and keeping it under 1500. Monday I need to go shopping and Wednesday I need to hit the open market. Fruits and veggies is the mantra. And tracking every bite that goes in my mouth before it gets there. My goal over this 2 weeks is not so much to lose weight, but to get back into the healthy lifestyle habit. Cut out the junk, stop the sleeping on the couch so much, and move my fat ass. Starting Oct 1 I start Couch to 5k again. I want to run a 10k on New Years Day and that will give me 3 months to get there. I am tired of putting things off and waiting to start and blah, blah, blah. I only have the here and now so I need to make the best of it......

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.
