Decisions were made

-

 So during this great road trip I have come to some decisions. I have got to take better care of myself. I just have to. Now that my eye surgery is over, I have no reason to not workout. We get back on Friday and I will start working out on Saturday. I'm going to do weights and Supernatural. I have a good 2 1/2 weeks to build up a habit and get myself in shape to workout regularly during the school year. The plan is to work out every day except for one - that will be my rest day. Supernatural will happen 6 days a week and weights will happen 3 or 4 days a week. The plan in my head is to do weights in the morning and Supernatural in the afternoon. I want to do at least 30 minutes of Supernatural every day. I also may switch it around, Supernatural in the morning and weights in the afternoon, but it's happening. I want to do weights every other day which is completely doable as long as I push myself to do it. So when we return there will be no excuses accepted. I will workout everyday. 

Now, why were these decisions made? Well, during this trip a number of things occurred. First, my knee is bothering me. It's weird, it's not 'painful' per se but it is creaky and annoying. I don't like that and I don't want that. Also, my shorts are tight. My underwear is tight. It's very uncomfortable to wear. I get home and night here and take things off. So yeah, don't like that at all. Finally, my t-shirts are choking me. Seriously! The neck of my t-shirts are tight and I do not like that at all. And I'm tired and lazy. That I really don't like. I want to feel awesome!!!

So this trip has been fun. I can't wait to do more trips, but I want to feel amazing on the trips and not old and creaky. So as soon as we get home it starts. I'm also going to track my food intake every single day. I don't think I'll worry about following any eating plan, I'm just going to stick to my no sugar, no carbs, no alcohol and see where I'm at for a week or two. After that I will start tweaking things. 

Okay, we are getting ready to head out for our 2nd day in Yellowstone. Time to finish getting ready.

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.
