Making progress

-

Well, I've been on AltShift almost 6 weeks now and things are going well. I have finally completely accepted the fact that I can't rush this. I have to take it slow and I must, must, must have a good base from which to work. That is what I'm working on now - my base. I'm am working on making 10,000 steps, meditation, 8 hours sleep, and eating the right foods everyday iron clad habits. I'm doing really well on that front, but they are still not rock solid and I want them to be. But I'm getting there. I have devoted the last few weeks to getting all this behavior locked in and I'm really close to doing just that. It has been a huge help having the AltShift Activate group and I think I'm going to do another round. I've made huge strides towards getting this nailed down and I really do not want to lose my momentum. I'm afraid if I end now, I will lose the momentum I have gained and slip back into old habits. I'm feeling too damn good to let that happen.

So I am feeling amazing. I have been walking back and forth to school and that is so awesome. I have lost some inches because clothes fit me better then they did a couple of weeks ago. I'm really feeling amazing. Happy. Mostly energetic. Much more positive outlook and I don't beat myself up anymore. That is so amazing. I could beat myself up for not doing this sooner, but I don't beat myself up anymore. No emotions. I do something that doesn't work and I learn from it, I do not get upset. So things are going well and I'm feeling better than I have in a long, long time. Can't ask for more than that.

It is now Saturday morning, I'm not sure when I started this, but it's been awhile. I did something completely amazing yesterday. I not only meditated in the morning but I got my 10,000 steps in. Woo hoo!!! This morning I have already meditated and am going to get my 10,000 steps in today too. Yesterday I didn't start trying until 4 pm. Today I'm going to start earlier. I don't want to cram them in before bed, I want to have them done by dinnertime.

Yesterday a friend, well I say friend but she's really an acquaintance, arrived from Hawaii and brought me this:


Is this not gorgeous? Right now, you can only get these at one store in Hawaii. She was nice enough to pick one up before she left and carry it with her to me yesterday. So we met her in Tempe, bought her lunch and talked trash about Hawaii. It was fun. She's moving to Boise but her son lives here in Phoenix.

That was my amazing day yesterday. Today is also going to be awesome. I'll check back later.

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.
