Finally!!!

Fall break has begun. I'm so glad. Actually, this break came really quick. The days at Damien fly by. I love it. I am ready for a break though. I usually have big plans over the break and this time I don't. I have a few things on my to-do list; finish grading, go in and do some things in my room, clean up this room; but that's about it. My focus this week is going to be to keep moving. I feel like a slug and I don't like that feeling. So I plan on moving. A. Lot. Crossfit in the morning, walking on the treadmill while working, walking the dogs at night. Moving, moving, moving. I just need to shake some of this weight off and I know I can do it if I don't spend the entire week on the couch. Oh, don't get me wrong. There definitely will be couch time, but I am going to try and limit it to 1 hour a day. What I am really looking forward to this break is not having to go to school everyday, not having to get up early, and not having to plan lessons. That is the stuff I need a break from and that's what I'm going to focus on.

I just put my Fitbit on again and i went back and looked at some previous days. One Sunday I hit 12,000 steps. I'm guessing there was Crossfit in the morning and dog walking in the afternoon, not sure what I did in between but I kept moving. If I shoot for 15,000 steps a day for 9 days, that will be a total of 135,000 steps. What if I went for 150,000 total steps that is about 16,666 steps per day. That's what I'm going to shoot for. 150,000 total steps over the next 9 days. I may start walking to Crossfit. That's a fabulous idea. Walk to Crossfit. Walk to the store. Walk everywhere. That is an awesome idea. Why take the car? I'll just use that extra time to lay on the couch. Oh, I am sold. My car will only move if I have to go outside Kaneohe. This is on like donkey kong.....

Okay, I'm off to start break.....

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.
