Grown into it??

For as far back as I can remember my weight has been an issue with me. I remember being a teenager and stressing over my weight and how my body looked. I was thinking about that this morning since I'm feeling particularly chunky after a couple of weeks of sitting on my butt. Have I been dealing with this for so long that it has just become who I am?? I don't like that idea but I think it my be true. I'm not sure exactly what to do about it but recognizing it is a huge first step. I will need to ponder this much more.

Later that same day: I have thought about it and I don't like it. There was a time when I was the athlete. Everyone looked at me as the runner, swimmer, biker. That was an image I liked. That is the image I want back. I'm definitely not feeling it this week with returning to school and trying to get back into the swing of things. Also, my eating has been atrocious these last few days. School feeds us and quite frankly, it's not that great. I haven't been drinking enough water due to meetings and such. Tomorrow it's back into it. Back to eating right and drinking plenty of water. Classes start so we'll be back on a regular routine. I'm feeling better today then I did yesterday and much better then Monday. So I'm slowly adjusting, by next week I'll be fine. So back into it again. I want to break this cycle and be the person I want to be. ...

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.
