9 days

-

without coffee. I went through the withdrawals, which thankfully did not last long, and I have been drinking hot cocoa in the mornings. Absolutely no coffee has crossed my lips. Until today. I was cleaning out my fridge and saw I still had this:


I decided to take a sip to see what would happen. My thoughts were that tea and hot chocolate have caffeine and they don't bother me, maybe I'm over it. I'm not. I just took one sip and I could feel that feeling starting to come on. That sucks. I think I was hoping that this would pass, but it looks like that is not going to happen. I'm not 100% positive it is caffeine, but coffee has 95 mg, green tea (which I drink fine) has 25 mg, and hot cocoa has 5 mg. So I think it is the amount. Also, I drink the tea towards the end of the day, not in the morning on an empty stomach. That may make a difference. Of course, I just drank the peppermint after breakfast and it happened. Ahhhh, screw it..... I just need to stay away from coffee. Fine. Okay. I accept it. I don't like it, but I accept it. Ugh...... I really, really hate the f*cking being an adult thing...... it freaking sucks so much......

In other news, my return to Crossfit has been successful and relatively pain free. I went on Saturday and did the WOD. Sunday I went to the mobility clinic. Monday I did nothing. Yesterday, Tuesday, I went to the 8 am and did the WOD. So proud of myself for not going crazy, taking it easy on the weights, and not pushing myself too hard. I'm sore today and feeling good.

I am going to start running. I know I've said that before and I haven't followed through, but this time I mean it. I'm going to start running tomorrow morning. I'm going to do couch to 5k. I want to start tomorrow so that my feel get used to the running before school starts. I'm also going to visit Sports Authority today and see what shoes I can buy just for running. Want to see what they have on last minute sale.

Okay, I'm done for now. I think I'm recovered from the coffee incident so I'm going to lay down for a few minutes and regroup. I need to do something today, I can't just sit on my butt all day.

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.
