Well color me shocked

I have not been doing so well on my eating and working out lately. With finishing the thesis I have been eating poorly and not working out - spending far too much time on my butt in front of this computer. Last week I completely for got to weigh-in and I almost forgot today, but I remembered at the last second. And to my great surprise, I lost 1 pound in spite of myself. I can not believe it. I'm happy about it. I was going to write about how I wish I had lost more and I should have been working harder, etc. But you know what, I'm not going to think like that. I'm going to be happy about the pound and let it go at that. I could have gained and I didn't so that is a good thing.

Moving on.... I do need to have a plan though. If I don't have a plan not a whole lot gets done and I would like to really workout and eat well this week. So what shall my plan be??? I have no excuses now and a week to play. I want to run so I will be doing that and I need to lose some of this fat. The problem is it has been so freaking hot here. Yesterday afternoon just walking to the bathroom worked up a sweat. So I think I'll workout in the morning and then run in the afternoon at the gym. Either that or run at 6 when it starts to cool down. I could do that. I should get into the habit of working out in the evening since once school starts mornings really won't be an option.

Okay, here's the idea:

  • workout every morning - weights or body weight workout
  • run or walk in the evenings. 
That should work okay. If I workout in the morning my eating will be much better during the day.  So there is my plan for the next 9 days.

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.
