Moving forward

-

Hmmm...that seems to be another theme with me. Anyway, now that a whole lot of that nonsense has been settled - at least for now - it's time to move forward and put this all behind us. Sidebar: am I wrong for not completely trusting these people? Am I wrong for thinking that their break with reality can happen again and that I need to watch for it? I got the impression that some people think I am wrong but am I really? Back on topic. Yesterday was a good day. Probably one of the best in a long, long time. I went to WW in the morning. Then cleaned the house and did some laundry. Spent the afternoon taking it easy - okay, napping on the couch. We walked the dogs, had dinner and watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It was really a great day and it felt awesome to be "normal" again. I'm looking forward to another nice day today.

I leave for Indianapolis in 3 weeks and I need to lose some weight so I can fit into some long pants I have. It's going to be cold there. Right now it's 32F with light snow. Hello!!! I'm from Hawaii!! I'm not going to last 10 minutes there. So I need to fit into at least some of my long pants. I don't want to buy new since I don't wear them much here. Towards that end, I will be following WW religiously for the next 3 weeks. Tracking everything I eat. Focusing on fruits and veggies. Weighing and measuring everything. If I can drop 5-7 lbs in the next 3 weeks, I will have 4 or 5 pairs of pants that will fit me. I get plenty of cardio between riding my bike to work and home and walking the dogs, but I need to add in some weights. I'm going to investigate some weight programs and try to find one that is not too long that I can do at night. I figure if I can do weights while I watch TV that should work.

Other than that, I need to finish the laundry, clean the bathroom, get clothes ready for the week - I have to iron my pants, I can not stand them when they are not ironed - and I think I need to get a nap in. Oh yeah, I need to find a vlc free download for my laptop. There are some things that won't play on my laptop and someone recommended that to me. I'll have to go research it and see if I can find it. Sounds like an awesome day to me..

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.
