It all starts now.....

-

I've been looking at tomorrow as the real, true beginning. I've been on break and getting things together these past couple of days but tomorrow it's back to work and back to routine. So while tomorrow is the real start, I've been doing well these last couple of days. I have had zero sweets. Zero. I have had no bread. I've been to Crossfit every day except Friday. I'm very proud of myself. I have also kept my eating under control. I did not track today but I did not eat a whole lot either. Off to a great start.

Tomorrow they are serving us lunch and it could be anything. I'm going to eat a good breakfast and just make the best choices I can. I'm not going to beat myself up if I make a mistake, but I'm going to do the best I can. I think I'll be fine.

I'm in 2 diet bets this month. The first one started today and is for 28 days. There are only 3 people in it, but I could still win $90. The other one starts tomorrow and the pot is $245,000.....Nice.... I think the way it works is that we are trying to lose 4% body weight by the end of the bet. All the people that do lose 4% split the pot. I think. All I know is that you win money if you lose the weight. I'm hoping that it will give me the incentive to stay on track.

I went shopping today and did some cooking tonight. I have been kind of set on the paleo diet for the past year or so and I just don't think that is really working for me. I plan on sticking to whole, real foods and avoiding processed food as much as possible. I bought Greek yogurt and Grape Nuts so that I can have yogurt and grape nuts in the morning when I get up. I bought some peanut butter cups so that I can take them with apples for a snack. I made myself a breakfast casserole with chorizo, eggs, and cheese. It is delicious. I have some paleo chili in the crock pot, that should provide my lunches for the week. I have guacamole cups for garnish and hummus cups for snacks. I should be set.

I plan on staying around 1500 calories a day and going to try and burn at least 2000 calories a day. I will be logging my food so that I can keep track of that.

Okay, I'm ready. Let the fun begin.

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.
