Time to start logging the benefits

-

 For almost a month now I've been avoiding alcohol, sugar, and wheat. I've been working on getting more activity into my day. And I've been paying attention to what I eat. The result? I'm really starting to feel good. I have lost a little weight but more importantly, I feel like the fat around my midsection is breaking up. It does not feel so hard and firm anymore. I actually feel like I can pull my stomach in. Even more importantly, I have more energy. I'm not dragging my butt through the day. Okay, I still get a little tired at the end of the day, but overall I feel pretty darn good. I've managed to come home Monday and Tuesday and get a great workout in on Supernatural. Of course, I haven't been walking Mavy because he is limping like crazy, so he's on restricted activity. But I'm feeling good and I like it. 

I'm still on the mailing list for DMSC and I find it interesting. He is doing a Weakless seminar and this morning's email says that in order to make self-care fun, you have to be weakless. You have to be willing to do hard things and expand your comfort zone. Then view self-care as a challenge and do the hard things. I kind of agree with that, you definitely need to expand your comfort zone and be willing to push yourself. But I don't completely agree. You have to build up some wins, some good feelings before you are able to really start doing hard things and challenging yourself. Also, he uses things like taking a cold shower or a cold plunge. But to me it's more like getting to the gym regularly for a few weeks. That is pushing my comfort zone and makes me feel like a rock star. 

Also, this popped up during my meditation, I've kind of lost respect for him. He downplays the importance of the Covid vaccine and I think that is just dangerous. I'm also not sure I agree with him anymore. It's like, he's been preaching the same things since I found him and hasn't changed a whole lot. In the meantime I've  grown and learned, mostly about myself, and know that some of his teachings don't work for me. 

Okay, clearly I'm dwelling on something I left behind. Probably for fear of missing out and wondering what is going on that I might enjoy. But the truth is I made my choice and I'm actually quite happy with it. I'm doing things that make me feel good and I'm not beating myself up over them. I don't get 10,000 steps every day, but I'm on my feet a whole lot. I'm not perfect in my eating, French chocolate yesterday, but I'm great 95% of the time. I'm eating fruit, which I love. I'm eating lots of veggies. I'm eating a way that works for my body and makes me feel good. I should not feel bad about that. So I think I'm going to unsubscribe from his mailing lists. I think it's time to make a clean break. 

I'm off to get ready for school.

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.
