Weight Watchers

-

I was so focused on finding someway to get my eating under control that I completely forgot about my issues with WW. And I do have issues. Almost everything else I can get around, but I have a huge issues with numbers. When counting points, I try to get the lowest points possible. In the past, that has led to me being hungry, tired, cranky, etc. Not good. I found myself doing yesterday. I was counting points before I ate the breakfast Hubby prepared for me and realized that it was way too high in points. Luckily, I came to my senses in time and ate a decent breakfast, but I did give the dogs some of it. Same thing happened with dinner on Saturday night. I tried to go for the lowest point thing, but again, came to my senses and ordered something reasonable. I need to switch my thinking when it comes to points. I need to think the same way I do about calories. I have got to eat my 27 points as a minimum. Lower than that and things get ugly. Have to work to keep that attitude. The good news is, I ate my activity points both Saturday and Sunday and yesterday dipped into my weekly extra points. Must remember, food is fuel and I must fuel my body or it will not work right.

On a good note, I have been tracking my points since Saturday morning and am feeling a difference already. Walked the dogs for almost 2 hours Saturday and yesterday and yesterday I felt no back pain at all. None. Huge. I know for a fact that the back pain is directly related to my weight. When the pounds creep up a little, boom, back pain. When I eat without stuffing myself and the pounds creep downward, boom, no back pain. It is related to the size of my stomach.

The first 2 days back on WW were a little tough. Whenever I switch eating modes I always feel like it's not enough. Absolutely ridiculous, I know, but true. Forget the fact that there are days I can go without eating for 10-12 hours and it not bother me at all. As soon as I start a new eating modality, boom my brain freaks out. Knowing that was a huge step forward though. Yesterday, after walking the dogs, I wanted something to munch on. I asked myself if I was hungry, and I wasn't, so I didn't eat anything. Amazing....

Last night I packed my food for today with the intention of hitting 24 this morning. Okay, that didn't happen. But I am on the treadmill writing this, so that's good at least. As I made my food, I logged everything into WW so it's all there today. All I need to do is delete it if I don't eat it or change the amount, whatever. Need to do that every day/night. Also, think I need a second cup of coffee this morning. I guess I'll take it with me.

Okay, so the WW journey is off to a good start. I just need to gain momentum and keep it moving forward. I know the plan works if I work the plan.

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.
