It's been a good week

-

 I was supposed to journal gratitude every day this week and obviously I didn't. I feel like I'm working on other, bigger things. 

This was testing week at school and the students were online for this week. They would come in the morning to test but then go home and work online. It's working okay. Not great, but okay. 

But me, I'm freaking awesome. So I have worked out every morning this week. Monday and Tuesday I did Supernatural. Yesterday, ....... wait for it..........I went to the gym. Yes! I got up yesterday morning and went to the gym. Thank you! Thank you! Please, hold your applause. Wednesday is the one morning during the week that I don't have a 7:30 class or any duty. That means that if I'm a few minutes late it's okay, no one will care. So I got up at my normal time, did my meditation, and then headed off to the gym. I was at the gym by 5 am. Side note, the gym is freaking packed at 5 am. There were way more people there yesterday at 5am then there are on Friday at 6 am. Just saying. Anyway, I went and I conquered it. I was so proud of myself yesterday. I really did feel like a rock star. More important is that I know it can be done and not be too much of an issue. 

I decided suddenly to take a rest day today. My body is sore. Not so sore I can't walk or function, but I can definitely feel my muscles in most of my body. Time to give it a rest. My plan was to rest on Saturdays, but I may switch that up and take a rest day on Thursday. Unless there is something going on. I have to be careful not to get so stuck in what days I work out and what days I don't because then I become too rigid and that leads to failure. The plan is: the gym Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Supernatural the other days with a rest day in there somewhere. I can swap out a rest day for any Supernatural day. Not a gym day. Gym days need to be sacred. 

Okay, that's really about it for now. I have found myself with a ton of energy and an eagerness to get out of bed in the morning. I look forward to my life and I'm always eager to get it started. 

Oh, I almost forgot. After the doctor appointment on Friday, she put me on some blood pressure pills. I started them on Sunday and bam, my blood pressure dropped like it's hot. Last night my pressure was 115/51 - holy crap that is good. We will see if she wants to keep me on it or not. 

Okay, that's enough for today. One more day of school and then it's the weekend. It's supposed to be hot this weekend - yay!!!!!

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.
