The last few days.

-

 have been a bit of a train wreck and I need to get things back in line. Let's examine....

On Friday we went to lunch like we always do. Hubby had a pretzel and I ended up eating half of it. Then, after picking up Lola from the vet, we swung through McDonald's to get ice and Hubby wanted an ice cream cone, so I got one too. I did feel like crap after I ate it and ended up doing 60 minutes of Supernatural. A few hours after working out, my left calf became extremely painful. The muscle feels really tight, almost like a cramp. It is not exactly painful, it is just that I can't walk normally because the muscle is not moving properly. So I'm walking all wonky and I know that will screw with my back. I have to focus really hard to walk somewhat normally so that my back doesn't end up hurting. So I'm walking slowly and purposefully in order to try and walk normally. I did end up going to Costco with Hubby and while walking through I decided to get some sweets. I initially picked up something that was really sweet and had a lot of sugar, even though it was paleo. After a few minutes I put those back and said no, I don't want sweets. Right after which I picked up these things called Aussie bites


They are oats, apricots, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, honey, coconut, quinoa, chia seeds, and some other things. Decidedly a decent snack. Snacks in general are not the greatest, but this has lots of good things. As snacky things go, this is not horrible. But then I ate 8 of them. 8!!! Really?  I sort of felt like my old binging self. I wasn't hungry. I didn't need them. I'm not sure I even wanted them. But I ate them. Actually I ate 8 of them. 



So 2 days in a row I ate an excessive amount of junk food and lots of sugar. Time to regroup. I need to get away from these things. Hubby will freak if I throw them away even though he hates them and won't eat them. But I am thinking of freezing them in pairs and that way I will have to put some effort and forethought into having any of them. But I think I'll just probably throw them away. 

Okay, so that nonsense is completely over. I'm done with junk. We are going to dinner tonight with friends at Joe's Crab Shack. That is a place to get good, healthy food. As for the rest of the day, there is no need to eat junk so I won't. 

I got on the scale this morning and it was the highest it's been in weeks. I think there is a correlation and I need to pay attention to that. 

Okay, I'm off to hobble to the kitchen.

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.
