Making progress

This is who I have to beat/change/defeat however you want to look at it, me.  In many ways, I am my own worst enemy. I get these ideas in my head and let them control me. I let things happen that shouldn't happen. So this is the person I need to beat. Me!!!

Having said that, and keeping that in mind as I try to change my way of thinking, yesterday went well. I needed to go to school for a couple of hours to get some stuff done, and I walked there an back. Yay me!!!!  Then I did some desk stuff I needed to do and at 3:30 went to Target just to cruise around. Now I know that I can't go spending money all the time, but once in a while is cool while trying to break bad habits. I spent 90 minutes cruising Target, Ross's, and Famous Footwear. Spent money I didn't need to. But, I got 10,000 steps. Yay me!!!! Got my food all in the right shifts too. Yay me!!! 

Another thing I've fallen into is putting meditation off until the last minute before I go to bed. I get it done, but I usually have to delay bedtime while I meditate. So I'm going to start meditating before I get on my computer. So here's the routine: I come home from school, talk with Hubby for a little while, mindlessly eat some food (always on shift though), then turn on computer and TV, and sit mindlessly for an hour or so. Many times I doze off in my chair. So I'm going to change that. Before I turn any electronics on, I will meditate. I think that will provide a nice transition from the workday to home. When I go to the gym after school, I will still meditate before any electronics get turned on. I'm even going to hang a post-it note on my monitor that says Meditate!!! I like this plan.

I am a creature of habit, I just need to make sure they are positive habits.

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.
