Stress!!!!

-

This week has been so stressful, it is insane. I generally try hard to keep stress in my life to a minimum, and generally do pretty well with that. But this week has been the lead up to the prom. Being a control freak and having to rely on high school girls creates a very stressful situation for me. All this week I have had a headache that just will not go away. My eating has been crap. Either I haven't been eating at all or I've been eating junk. I find it interesting how I deal with stress. As I said, I generally keep stress to a minimum by either doing Crossfit and eating right, or just trying to tackle things head on. Oh, and knowing when I can't control things and letting them just happen. So seeing how the stress this week has manifested in my body is incredibly interesting. I can't imagine how people live with this all the time. And people do. Yuck....

Part of the stress was trying to figure out how to fit in 14.4. I was thinking I could do it this morning, or maybe tomorrow. Then I thought I could do it on Monday morning since results don't need to be in until 3pm. All these thoughts running around adding to the already high stress level. Then 14.4 came out. 14 min AMRAP: 60 cal row (about 1000 meters), 50 toes to bar, 40 wall balls, 30 cleans, 20 muscle ups. WTF!!!!! Seriously!!!!! I looked at that, knowing that the row would take me 5 mins or so and I would be drained and I can't do toes to bar, let alone 50...Screw it....I'm passing on this one.... I can't do that many of anything and the added stress was just not worth it. I'm over the open.... So that was one less thing to stress about.....

So tonight is the prom and after setting up last night, I can already feel the stress leaving me. I was hungry last night - haven't been hungry most of the week. I slept really good last night and my neck is starting to relax. I think once it actually starts at 6pm tonight, I will be just fine. Then it will just be a matter of getting through it and cleaning up. Then I can really begin my 2-week spring break. I am so looking forward to that. And I am so thankful that this prom is right at the beginning of break. I would hate to waste a week of my break feeling like this.

So I will get through tonight, tomorrow will be a bit of a recovery day. I may do Crossfit, I don't know. Then Monday it is back to real life. Crossfit, ultra low carb, and taking care of myself. Yeah!!!!

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.
