What a difference

-


can make. Since Wednesday of last week, my eating was a tiny bit out of control. I had McDonald's 3 times!!! I haven't gone to McDonald's 3 times in 6 months, now I do it in less than a week!?!?!?!?!! I also went to a local burger place, twice. Then there was movie night, with soda and popcorn. What else....Oh yes, desserts, desserts, desserts. So it's been a wild couple of days. Yesterday I woke up feeling pretty crappy and decided I needed to get a handle on things. So I did. Clean eating, Crossfit, rest, what a difference. By last night I felt awesome and this morning I felt incredible. It will keep building the longer I stay away from the junk.

I had an epiphany last night. I was lamenting some things in my life when it hit me, as a younger person I never, ever considered the future. I completely lived in the moment with no regard to the future. None. Not as far as my health was concerned, or money, or jobs or anything. It's kind of disheartening to make that realization. I'm not sure why that was, but it absolutely was. There are some things going on now that are repercussions of things that happened, or didn't happen, a while ago. I can remember thinking at the time that we would deal with it when it came up. Stupid, I know. It really made me think. Is it too late to change things? I know I can stop doing that, and I have, I actually did years ago, but can I fix the past? It's a sobering thought. Here I am 54 years old and never considered the future before. I wonder why I had that mindset. Could it be the times I grew up in? Face it, I grew up during the 70's and was a young adult in the 80's, not exactly times when you planned ahead. Those were times of living for the moment. Hmmm...makes me think.

Anyway, I went to Crossfit this morning, I love the 6 am time slot. I wonder if I could make it work during summer school? The unknown variable is always the traffic. If it's good, no problem getting to school in time. If it's bad, yikes!!!! Anyway.... I have some school work to do and some heavy thinking to do.....

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.
