A change of attitude

-

 Hmmm...not really so much attitude as perspective I guess. I went to the PT on Friday like I posted about yesterday. I did not use my Voltaren cream yesterday and my knee felt amazing all day long. Which only reinforced my thoughts that exercise is the key to everything I want as I continue my journey though life. See, it all comes down to the fact that in 5-6 years I'll finally be able to retire. When I do that I don't want to sit home and do nothing just waiting to die. I want to do things. I'm thinking we might splurge on a camper van and just drive around. Stop and sleep wherever we feel like and just cruise. Maybe do that one to two weeks at a time, whenever the mood hits. There are so many things I want to see in this country and then maybe once a year take a trip overseas. I do not want my physical body to hold me back from doing the things I want to do. Also, I have worked hard all my life, I want to enjoy my last few years. Okay, enough maudlin stuff, let's talk about good stuff. 

So last night I did my PT exercises and it took me about an hour. Of course, I think I over did the number of reps on some things. So I need to figure out how to get all this in with the time I have at night. Unless absolutely necessary, I will leave school by 3:30pm. That puts me home a little after 4pm. That gives me approximately 4 hours until I have to start winding down for bed. If PT takes an hour that means from 7 - 8 is PT time. Dinner is usually around 6pm. That leaves me from 4 - 6 to get my workout in for the day. I think I will alternate Supernatural and my body weight/half ball cards that I just ordered. So I'll walk Mavy and ride my bike from 4-5 and from 5-6 I'll do my workout. 6-7 is dinner hour and then it's time for PT. This will only happen Monday - Thursday, or the school days. Friday, Saturday, and Sundays I'll sprinkle these things throughout the day. I'll have to start walking Mavy in the mornings soon due to the heat and I may do that even on school days, take him on a short walk in the mornings. My ultimate goal is to up the activity levels, get stronger, and lose some of this bodyfat. 

Okay, I'm good for now. Need to go and do some reading, my book is getting good.

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.
