Quick update

-

 It is the next to last day of school and I could not be happier. Tomorrow will be a super long day as we have school and then graduation tomorrow night. But Thursday will be a super short day with only the awards ceremony and we will be done at noon. So yay!!!! 

Hiking on Saturday was awesome. It was a really nice trail and not very difficult at all, so that was good. I took it really slow and didn't push my knee at all. Of course, my knee was bothering me yesterday and is bothering me this morning. As soon as I was done with PT I stopped doing the exercises and now I can feel that. So last night I stretched and tonight I will do the entire set of exercises. 

My thoughts this morning are on weight loss. I've been 'trying' to lose weight and seemed kind of stalled at 215. I can't seem to get past that number. Now logically I know that I need to do more than I am doing but logic and reality don't always mesh up. I'm thinking that once school is over I'm going to hit the gym 4 days a week; Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday. Going to do upper-lower with a rest day between. I need to be much more consistent than I've been for the past year. I will also need to plan a way to be more consistent during the school year, but let me get the habit in place first. 

Then I need to focus on my food. I've been stretching the eating healthy thing. Yes, I eat salad with chicken on it but then I slather it in sugary dressing. I need to up my eating game over the summer so that I have some better habits in place when school starts up again. 

That's really about it for me. I need to basically just refine everything and not be so lackadaisical about it. 

In other news, tomorrow is the last day of school!!! Oh wait, did I say that already. 


And on that note, I'm out.

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.
