Break - Finally!!

-

I can not believe how long it's been since I posted. For years and years I have posted at least once a day. Sometimes I would miss a couple of days, but lately I've been missing weeks rather frequently. I have not posted here in 2 weeks, that's crazy. Don't really know what that means exactly but we'll just go with it for now.

I've still been doing Crossfit 3x a week so that's good. But my eating has been out of control. And I don't even have a good reason for it, but it is what it is. I am now on fall break and it's time to get my sh*t together.

First thing is, I need to get my eating back under control. I have skidded off the rails and been eating like there is no tomorrow. So that is step 1. Next, I need to refocus on water. For the past 2 weeks I have not been drinking enough water and I can feel it. Also I have developed this terrible Snapple habit. I only have 1 a day, at most, but it is becoming an everyday habit instead of a once in a while treat. So that goes.

Last week, at weigh-in, I had lost 2 lbs. I was the lowest weight I'd been in a long time and I was stoked. Today at weigh-in I was up 3 lbs. Not thrilled about that. I have a goal this week of getting below 190. Last week I was at 191 but now this week I'm at 194. I know that is not "real" weight since I did not eat 10,500 calories this week - not in the entire week I don't think. And I feel like of doughy which leads me to believe this is all due to the lack of water consumption causing me to retain water and the crappy eating causing me to retain water. So between the increased water consumption that will happen this week and the clean eating, I should easily drop those 3 lbs gained and one of their buddies. Actually 2 of their buddies to get below 190.

I have a bunch of projects planned so I should be busy this week and not laying around too much. Though I do have 2 books I plan on reading, so there will be some down time in there.

Okay, now I need to get some food and water in me before Crossfit and then head out. It's going to be an awesome day, weekend, week......


I just went back in my archives to check something and realized I missed an anniversary. On September 26 I had been blogging for 8 years. 8 Years!!!! Yikes!!! That's a long time I've been on this journey. Something to ponder.

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.
