Going down

-

Last week my weight was up, way up, 195!!! And I felt every ounce of that. This week I started school and while I tried to make good choices in the food they offered, there was pizza one day and I was hungry and I ate way, way too much. But I have been biking everyday and for the last 2 days eating vegan in during the day and meat only at night. Stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down to 192.2. Wow! That is the lowest I've been all summer. I honestly believe, that for me, the food is the most important part. If I can get the food under control everything else will fall into place. If I eat well, I feel better. If I feel better, I want to do more things. If I want to do more things, I get more active. It all just fits. So I'm going to focus on eating. Right now, while I'm adjusting to returning to school, I'm kind of tired and we need to start walking the dogs again, so that will take up my evenings. I'm just going to focus on food and the activity will come. It will. I do want to start running but maybe for now that will have to be restricted to the weekends. Who knows. I refuse to stress over it anymore. I'm just going to do the best I can and live with it.

In other news, have you been watching the Olympics??? Awesome, awesome stuff. That Gabby Douglas was absolutely amazing. Lochte, Phelps, and Douglas in swimming. Awesome!!! I even watched the equestrian stuff a bit. That is just beautiful to watch. Dressage is so elegant, those horses are so graceful. It's almost like watching ballet. I even love the equestrian apparel, there is something about those clothes I just love. Who knows?????

Okay, time to start my day. Bella has a vet appointment this morning and training class this afternoon. Busy Saturday.....

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.
