What if......

-

What if I stopped all this nonsense about eating and weight loss and size and everything........

What if, instead of beating myself up I showed myself the love and understanding that I show others.......

What if, instead of focusing on what I do wrong, I focus on what I do right......

What if, I just accepted myself, like I do my students, and just tried to do my best each day.......

What if, I showed myself the love I show others......

Time to start living the what if..........

I should end the post here, but I'm not. I need to write. Whenever I am making transitions, I tend to write more.

So the last couple of days, I've been getting these weird sensations in my body after I drink my coffee. Today I think I only drank about 1/2 a cup before I just put it down. My insides were like electrified and humming....I have no idea how to explain it. I may have to give up coffee.... Kind of a bummer, but not the worst thing in the world I could give up.

Choices...it all comes down to choices... what do I want and how am I willing to get there. So I need to start making better choices...these good choices have to start first thing in the a.m. No more laying in bed and making deals with myself; I'll get up in 10 minutes and only do 15 minutes on the treadmill; bull crap!! I will program into my head that I will do it and I will do it. No excuses, no exceptions.....

Choices for food need to change...I love the paleo meals I make...I love eating meat....so why do I struggle with making them?? Who knows....but it boils down to choices....I will chose to eat food that nourishes my body and does not pollute it. I have looked at food purely as nourishment in the past and it really served me well. I have a strange mind and finding out how to view things really helps me to handle situations.

I read a great article last night by a guy who struggles with life, like everyone does, and he had some really good points. He said everyday we should practice improving our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and well-being. Physical: move some everyday. Doesn't have to be hours or an excruciating workout, just move. Emotional; don't let others bring you down. Be honest. Mental; make lists. Lists of all kinds of things. Things you want to do. Things you've done. Things you'll never do. Businesses to start. Blogs to write. People to meet. Etc...just make lists. Finally, spiritual; mediate, pray, be grateful, whatever form spirituality takes for you; do it. Every. Day. If we do these things every day, just imagine how much greater life would be. How much positivity and joy would you have in your life? Definitely something to work on and strive towards.

So this whole thing is going to take a mental shift. Stop beating myself up. Stop berating myself for things I've done. Stop making poor choices. That's it. Time to start doing that.

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.
