Off to a good start

-

 So yesterday was good. I went to the gym. Walked Mavy. Then worked on craft stuff all day. I'm trying to figure out how to resin the earring I cut on the laser. I feel they are too blah just wood. I feel they are too blah just painted. The resin really adds a pop to them but it's hard to get it right. So I worked on that most of the day and I am definitely making progress. 

At the gym I pushed it. Really pushed it. More than I have in quite a while. I did 3 - 1 minute plank holds. 3!!!! For a long time - possibly years - I've been telling myself I can't do it for 1 minute. Yet yesterday I did it three times. So yeah, it's all in the head. So that was good. I'm waiting for the DOMS to set in - not yet. 

Oh yeah, I went to the gym at 6am. It was dead. There were like 3 cars in the parking lot. 3. It was awesome. It made me think that I could go to the gym early, early on work days and get a workout in. I'm thinking of Wednesday mornings because I don't have a first period. I can go there at 5ish, workout, and come back and get ready for work. I think it would work fine. I'm going to try it, maybe this week. We have testing this coming week so I have to be there at 7:30 on Wednesday, but I may try it anyway. I'm going to gym again today in just a little bit. I realized that I need to get the gym done early before I have a chance to get involved in anything or before I have to start doing things. So the gym it is. 

Food has been good.    Friday and yesterday I was careful about my food and didn't eat any junk. So that was good. 

Today will be sort of busy. I'm going to gym in just a few minutes. Then I'm taking Mavy to Apache Junction and we are going to walk among the wildflowers. Then it's back home to laundry and more crafting. Sounds like a good day and I'm going to get it started.

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.
