3000

-

The other day I posted that I wanted to burn 3000 calories a day according to my Garmin. On Friday, I was just going to just see how much I burned and then on Saturday I was going to really try for 3000. Okay, not as easy as it sounds. Here are some screenshots.


This first one is the total calories burned. Notice that I have never even come close to 3000. I have never even hit 2500 calories. Yikes.


This one is the number of steps. Notice that Saturday had the most number of steps for the week, and yet Friday had the highest total calories. Huh????  Saturday I went to Crossfit in the morning. I know that the Garmin doesn't register Crossfit correctly, but this is crazy. So, I still want to try to reach a certain number of calories burned per day, but I think I need to work up to 3000. Also, clearly I need to walk more.

Yesterday, Saturday, was a most exhausting day. I returned to Crossfit and while it was awesome, it near about killed me. The WOD was:

21-15-9
Burpees
Push Press 30#
3x double unders (since I couldn't do double unders I just did singles)

Also, the strength was floor press. I was really afraid that returning, I would be really weak. But I got 90# on the floor press, so it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

As soon as I got home, Hubby was ready to go to Costco. So it was in the shower, and off to Costco. We had a hot dog before going in, thankfully because I was hungry. Then walked around Costco for an hour. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store for the weeks supplies. After that I laid on the couch and passed out for an hour. I was tired. I woke up and was hungry. We had some poke and I had some salami and cheese, then it was time to walk the dogs. 3 dogs, 3 walks. I had developed a pain in my left heel. I was afraid it was plantar flaring up in that foot now, but I don't think so. It was like my achilles tendon was pulled. I stretched and used my Cryoderm on it a couple of times. It feels pretty okay this morning, I'm just glad I'm not doing Crossfit today. Then it was time for dinner, clean up, and off to bed. I was exhausted.

I didn't sleep very well last night. Between the really strong gusts of wind waking me up and the dogs stealing my blankets, I did not sleep very well last night at all. Plus, I am sore. I knew that was going to happen and it has. I'm not as sore as I thought I would be, but it is early. There is a mobility clinic today and I'm on the fence about going. Maybe I will, I don't know.

Okay, that pretty well wraps up the last couple of days. I'm going to try and hit 2200 calorie burn today. It's going to be a stretch, but I'm going to try. I think I'll jump on the treadmill for a while. Clean the house. Do some chores. Jump on the treadmill again. Walk the dogs. Things like that. Maybe even hit the mall a little, not sure why but maybe. Okay I'm off.

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.
