Something seems to have changed

-

 Maybe it was the road trip. Maybe it was just the timing. But something has changed in my head. I am bound and determined to get my sh*t together. I'm tired of wanting to do things and then not doing them. It's time to get on with it. 

Working out. C has made a real great start in his working out. He gets in the pool every day and does his workout. That's awesome. Now, why can't I do the same thing? There is no reason, I just don't. So that's it. Working out every day. Developed a schedule a few weeks ago, now I'm going to follow it religiously. 

Eating. Okay, on the road trip the eating was hit or miss, mostly miss. But that was poor planning on my part. I made assumptions that were patiently incorrect. But, that's behind me. Every day is a new day, every meal is a new meal and what happened in the past is completely irrelevant. So I'm thinking of fasting today until dinner. Just to get a kind of reset and start over. The weird part is that I have not been hungry the entire time we were gone. I mean seriously not hungry. I did not understand it but that's what happened. Last night I ate a big dinner, well big based on what we had been eating, on purpose. I figured a big dinner, at home, would be a kind of reset. That did not work. So today I will fast. Also, I have developed a snacking habit that I need to break immediately. So I'm fasting today and doing a reset on the food. No food until dinner.

Things I want to do. There are things that I want to do and I just don't do them. I want to train Mavy. I pay for Susan Garrett and haven't really used the info in 2 years. I really, really want to train Mavy. I want to make shirts. I love making shirts and now tumblers. Staying on top of my schoolwork. That is critical and something that needs to have a top priority. I have placed too much of a priority on rest and playing games and watching TV. Do I really need to do more of that? I don't think so. 

So, how do I fit all these things in? I make them priorities. I think every Sunday I'm going to make a list of things I want to do the following week and then work on it through the week. Some things need to be planned, like workouts, but other things can fall where they may, like Mavy's training, that can be done anytime I have 3 minutes. Work will be done at work - I will really work to make that happen. And TV is just not going to be important, neither is sitting on the couch and playing my games. But reading will be. Reading will be my go to relaxing activity. Also, I can watch TV as I do other things here in my room. 

And all of this is not to say that I won't have down time, I will. I will just be more judicious with it and not have so much of it. One of the side effects of not doing much is that I don't sleep well. If I rest too much during the day, I have trouble sleeping at night. So this will help my sleep also. 

Okay, first order of business is to prepare for the day and get Mavy walked.

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.
