The 5 days of eating are over

-

It started on Friday night with a dinner out with friends. Continued on Saturday with a wedding lunch. Took a break on Sunday, but picked up again on Monday with a lunch out with friends and an evening Christmas party. Then ended yesterday with Christmas itself. When I was getting ready for bed last night I said to myself, that's it, I am done eating junk. Woke up this morning with a great attitude and ready to get back on track.

I laid out some of my 2013 goals yesterday and I actually have a few more. All of my goals this year revolve around doing what makes me happy. Crossfit and paleo make me happy so I'll be doing it. Getting my finances in order, make me happy. Being focused and organized make me happy.

Starting today though I'm going to wean myself off some of the restricted paleo stuff. For example, dairy. I've been drinking full fat milk but once what I have is gone - no more. No more dairy. I've also been fudging on some of the condiments, well that all stops too. I'm going to get stricter and stricter as time goes by so that by January 15th - when the next paleo challenge starts - I'll be living at level 10 and totally ready to rock that challenge.

I feel very energetic and optimistic today. I think just the act of having a plan helps pick one up and gives things a good spin. I'm off to get ready to run.

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.
