Start now

In spite of my cheery and upbeat post yesterday, I didn't do much. I spent about 4 hours grading finals and I still have 2 more to do. Ended up not eating lunch until 3 pm and that was cheese, salami, and crackers. It was good but not much and kind of late. Also, drank 2 Redd's Wicked Mango - yum!!!!! But then was a little tipsy for the afternoon. Didn't walk the dogs; my excuse was rain but I just didn't feel like it. Didn't run; my excuse was my foot, but really I just didn't feel like it. Took two naps; my excuses were 1) I needed a break from grading and 2) I needed to rest from the Redd's. Do you see a pattern here? Because I sure as hell do. That is why this motivational piece spoke to me so loudly. No more fucking excuses. I'm over it. I need to start being accountable and taking responsibility for the choices I make. The Choices!!! Not the Excuses!!!!

So, enough of that. I'm still sore from Saturday's WOD, the abs are screaming and you use your abs for almost every movement you make. Awesome sauce!!!! I had been debating about heading to Crossfit this morning, but I think I'm going to pass on that. I'm going to roll out my left leg/foot and put on my new shoes and jump on the treadmill for a bit. I want to run, but we will see how that goes. I will also be walking the dogs today, whether it rains or not. They are going crazy and I'm tired of my crappy excuses. Unless hubby goes to watch the game. Hope not, but if he does, I'll deal with it.

Also, going to start working on my room today. I'm going to go to Target to see if they have storage stuff on sale, which I'm pretty sure they do. Then I'm going to head over and start working on my room. I want to organize the storeroom, hang new things, straighten it up and organize it more. I cannot stand it the way it is and I have to do something.

Also, I joined a private group with a coach from Crossfit to help me get back on track and lose some weight. I did this when she was here and I was starting to feel amazing and see results, but for some reason or another I stopped. So now she's doing it from across the country. I'm excited about that because I need a little guidance and motivation. You would think I would be an expert after all this time, but I am not. So I am excited about that. Had to weigh myself this morning and it was the highest weight I've seen in easily 20 years. 214.4!!! Yikes!!!!! Definitely time to reign this in and get it under control. I have 15 months to lose 65# now. Yikes. I can do this.

Okay, I'm a little hungry, so going to grab a banana or something and jump on the treadmill. Then it's off to run my errands and head to school. Ciao baby.....

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.
