Movement generates movement

-

 I set my goal at the beginning of the year to get back up to 10,000 steps. I knew that it would be a journey because I haven't hit 10,000 in well over a year. Oh, I would hit it here and there, but never with any consistency. Challenge accepted....... So my mindset has switched to movement. Get movement. My knee is still hurting if I walk a lot, but it's not so bad that I can't fight through it. Yesterday Hubby needed help taking down and putting away the Christmas decorations and I volunteered to help. He would have done it on his own, but I volunteered. My steps the last 3 days have been 5100, 6600, and 7200. Those last two have been Friday and Saturday a notoriously low step count day for me. Today is Sunday and I have school work to do so I'm going to have to make an effort to get my steps up, but I truly believe that I can do it. 

The Oculus is proving to be a lot more fun and beneficial than I thought it would be. I've joined a workout cult group that is super fun. The program is called Supernatural (weird) and it has boxing, what they call flow which is just hitting targets with a bat, meditation, stretching. It's really good and I like it a lot. I've done the boxing and that's okay. I really, really, really like the flow - that's my favorite. I have not tried the meditation or the stretching yet. I might try those today. Maybe instead of playing games I do that. Fun. 

I don't really have much else to say. After we put away the Christmas decorations yesterday, the top of the fake fireplace was empty. Hubby and I had zero ideas of what to put up there, but we went and cruised through At Home hoping for inspiration. We got it. What I love about the two of us is that one will get an idea and the other will run with it. He picked up a giant, white sea star and said maybe this. I immediately locked on to all the ocean things we already have and what we could use with it. We then spotted a light that looked like it was thrashing around in the ocean for quite a while and got that too. Came home, set it up and boom, it looks awesome. I'm not sure if we work so well together naturally or if it's the fact that we have been together for so long.

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.
