Time to restart

-

 I have rested my leg now for 7 days. It is feeling amazing. I can walk normally. My knee doesn't hurt. My back is still bothering me but I will make an appointment with my chiro for that. My feet still hurt when I first put my insoles in and walk, but that goes away. I think I just need to wear my insoles more. Once I have them in for a while they no longer hurt and I feel great. So I need to work on that. Otherwise I'm good. I can stand up and walk without having to hobble for the first few steps, I can just get up and go. So I think that it is time to get back into the gym. I'm going this morning and doing upper body. Tomorrow it will be lower body and I will just have to be careful with that. I also need to tackle Supernatural and I'm a little nervous about that. I'm thinking of doing it in shoes and not moving much. Hmmm....doing that this afternoon and I will have to think on that. 

I need to clean up the eating too. I'm going to fast today since Hubby is playing golf. I need to reset my mind and my body and get back on the clean eating wagon. That's what I'm doing, eating clean. No processed food, or little processed food. Why do I have to label everything? Why can't I just eat like a human being and be done with it. 

I also need to work on my mindfulness. I'm getting tempted by the ads for diets and workouts and things like that. So I need to do a complete and total reset. Today it begins. The gym and the fast. Time to get back into the good way I was feeling. 

In other news, I found this guy who does calisthenics and has this program to learn to do things like push-ups, pull-ups, leg raises, squats, etc. They are very basic movements and each has a progression to work through until you get to the point where you can do a real movement. It's not so much a full blown workout, but ways to do normal human movement. I'm going to work on these and add them to into my PT exercises. 

Which leads to the PT exercises. I'm going to start doing them tonight. I was going to start them last night but I ended up staying up too late. So tonight it begins. I'm going to do them every single night until everything is all back to normal. So that makes me think, should I just do those or should I go to the gym also? I'm just not good enough on sports medicine to know what is the best thing to heal completely. I do need a complete reset and to get back on track with eating and exercise. Maybe I should start with my PT and the calisthenics for the remainder of this week? Hmmmm, I think I like that better for this week only. Do my PT exercises, do the calisthenics, and do some gentle Supernatural. See how that goes for a few days and then I can add in the gym. I think I like that. I want to heal completely and I do not want to spend anymore time limping and in pain.

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.
