Time to get serious

-

 So this morning I am meeting with a nutritionist to help me lose some weight. I'm not excited about it but I do want to lose some weight. I've been doing pretty well since my doctor's appointment in February but I would like to do better. I would like something from the doctor so I could tell Hubby, I can't eat X, Y, Z. He doesn't seem to understand that completely and has no follow through. Not that I've given him a lot of good examples of follow through. I've started and quit how many diets/exercise programs in my life time? So I don't really blame him for dropping the ball, I've not been a good example of staying power. But you know what? When it becomes a matter of life and health it becomes a different ball game. Completely different ball game. I have not had a beer in over a month. Granted, I only had 1 a week but I just gave those up completely. I have not had any bread except for a soft pretzel - which I paid dearly for so I won't do that again. I have been a little slack on the sugar. This past week I ate an entire chocolate bar from France. It was so good. And, in my defense, it was 100% cacao so infinitely better for me than milk chocolates. But I didn't need to eat the entire thing. But I'm looking forward to talking to the nutritionist and getting some more insight into my health. 

We are also meeting the tax person today - oh joy!!! I need to make sure I have all that material gathered up for her. I kind of hate tax day only because for so long we owed so much money. We don't owe that anymore but I still am not looking forward to the verdict. 

Okay, I don't really have any more to say, so I'm going to cut this short today.

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.
