Must learn to be flexible

-


I just realized part of my problem. If things don't go the way I planned, I don't know what to do. I like to plan. I like to have things laid out and I like to know what I'm doing, when. When things don't work out as I planned, there are times when I just don't know what to do. For example; I have been planning to go to Crossfit tonight all week. I've been saying it all week because I know myself and would wuss out if I wasn't careful. So all week, all day, I've been saying Crossfit tonight. I even told Hubby. Then I decide to see if I can figure out what the WOD is, so I start stalking Facebook. And I stumble across a post that it is a Benchmark Bash tonight...Whhhhhaaaaaattttt? I don't want to go back with to a benchmark bash..... So I message Bucky and discover it's true. And he's not coaching tonight. Ugh!!! So the plan was to go to Crossfit tonight; go to the mall to cruise and grab dinner; Weight Watchers in the morning. Walking, walking, walking.... Once Crossfit tonight was out, I literally did not know what to do. Initially I just sat on the couch and was like, what am I going to do??? Luckily, I came to my senses and I jumped up and hopped on the treadmill. That is where i am right now as I type this. I am walking, typing, and watching Dr. Phil. I think after this I will head over to the mall for a bit. I like to cruise around during the holidays. There are cool things that they don't normally have. Also there are great sales. Though I am at a point where I don't want to buy anything until I'm closer to returning. I'm hoping to make some progress in the leaning down department before then. Anyway, I'm going to go to the mall, cruise for a bit, pick up some steak for dinner, and then come home.

So my lesson today is that I need to be more flexible. I need to not only have a plan B but to follow through with it when Plan A doesn't work out. I think I've seen this a couple of times before, but this is the first time I it has really hit me.

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.
