It all started so good.....

-

but fell apart about midway through. Let's recap and see what I can learn from this.

Friday's post was not great but I felt much better after writing it. Saturday went well. I walked to Crossfit; did the WOD; walked home; and walked the dogs later in the afternoon. Felt amazing.

Sunday was good too. Got up and walked 5 miles even though I didn't feel like it at all. I did not walk the dogs in the afternoon because Super Bowl was on and I had some drinks. But still, a good day.

Monday was awesome. I got up and did 20 minutes on the treadmill. Then came home from school and walked the dogs. Awesome.

Tuesday was another awesome day. Up and on the treadmill for 20 minutes and a dog walk in the afternoon.

Wednesday was another really great day. Up and on the treadmill, then Crossfit in the afternoon. I even went to Crossfit after coming home for a bit. Huge success.

Thursday was where it all started to fall apart. I overslept and didn't have time to get on the treadmill. Then when I came home and was too tired to walk the dogs.

Today, Friday ended up taking the whole day off from work and doing nothing but sit at the computer all day long. Granted I was doing important stuff and I got a lot of work done, but still, all I did was sit there.

As I write this, I realize that the week was actually pretty darn good. I got 5 days of workouts in. 5 solid days. And I hit my macros on almost every single day (today is not included in that). So really, I had a pretty darn good week. I need to look at the bigger picture. I was okay not doing anything yesterday as I decided that I needed a rest. It was today that had gotten me down. I took a day off for no apparent reason, other than i have 60 hours of sick time accumulated. And I really did use the time productively. I beefed up my resume and sent it out to about 5 or 6 places for teaching positions. That is awesome. Something that I needed to do and getting a job lined up will help ease my worry about this whole move. So I can't say that the day was wasted. I know myself, and once I got it in my head that I needed to start looking for work, I wouldn't be still until I had started. So now I have begun and i will continue to work on it over the next few weeks. I really want an online teaching job. I'm sorry I didn't try harder at that Phoenix job, but that didn't pay very well at all. I'm already feeling better having started the process.

Okay, I actually feel pretty good about this week now. Focusing on yesterday and today really made this week look like a failure, when it reality it was a rousing success. So I'm feeling better. I did lie on my food diary and that is just wrong. I'm not cheating anyone but myself and lying is a silly thing to do. But sitting around the house today really screwed up my eating. Tomorrow will be much, much better.

Feeling good. Progress not perfection.

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.
