Lost my focus

-

I cannot focus on more than one thing at a time. For some reason, I just cannot maintain focus on different things. I try very hard to compartmentalize so that I can focus on one thing at a time, but that doesn't always work. This week it did not work at all. Let me lay out my sins:


  • I only went to Crossfit twice
  • I did not walk the dogs at all
  • I did zero school work
  • I did not pack my food two days
  • I ate sweets three days (I think)
  • and water was as scare as in the dessert
Now, you might ask what I did instead. What was so important that I could lose focus on the things that I have deemed IMPORTANT (in all caps)?  And I would respond nothing. I did not do anything with the time that should have been spent doing these things. I took naps, watched TV, and played games. 

LAST NIGHT'S DINNER WAS POT PIE AND NUTTER BUTTERS!!!!! Yes, I'm shouting at myself. 

Okay, time to shake it off and refocus. This week is going to be tough as we have visitors form the mainland for the week. Since it is Hubby's son, I am expecting to spend a lot of time alone. He is going to want to go out and spend as much time with him as possible. I don't blame him at all, but I can't do that. He has the week off work, I don't. So this will be a tough week in that I will be presented with a lot of situations that are not optimal. But I need to face them and deal with them. 

My focus this week is going to me moving and eating. I need to get these under control and I need to do it now. I feel like a fat, bloated whale. 

On that note, I will probably not get to Crossfit today as I need to clean house and wait for the Terminix guy. So I will use this time to my advantage and move. Once that is done I will do some school work. I have three assignments due tomorrow so I need to get working on them. Tomorrow I will go to Crossfit, finish any assignments not done, and prep food for the week. I do not expect to be perfect every time, but I do expect to try my best and I haven't been.

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.
