Now home

-

 We got home on Thursday night. While I still am very motivated to workout and to stop feeling like crap, I haven't started yet and it is Saturday. We came home on Thursday night to a complete disaster with our pool and back yard. The people had come and put in our new patio floor and cool deck and my god, the yard and pool was a complete disaster. The pool ended up having to be drained, cleaned, and refilled. It took all day yesterday to drain and clean it. It required us to actually go down in the pool as it drained and wash all the stuff down. We also scooped up the crap and took it out in buckets. It was an all day thing. Then getting into the deep end was quite a challenge. That deep end is quite steep. Getting down there and out of there was fun. Thankfully, Hubby tied a rope to the patio post and we could use that to help us up and down. I went down there during the end because Hubby was hurting. I finished it up and headed out of the pool when I felt suddenly dizzy and nauseous.  I had Hubby get my water and I had to sit on the steps. After a few minutes I was able to get in the house and cool off. Later in the evening Hubby started getting cramps and was in a lot of pain. We really have to be careful and remember that we are not 20 years old anymore. Anyway, that was our day yesterday. While I did walk in the morning, I didn't do much of anything else the rest of the day but work on the pool. 

Today was a whole different story. I slept in - think I'm still catching up from the trip  - and just could not get moving. I didn't even walk Mavy this morning. I did however, finally get my classes figured out. I went to look things over and ended up figuring out the things that were perplexing me. So while I did not get any workouts in, I did get some things accomplished. Then we had to go shopping and ended up at lunch, having a beer. Came home and jumped in the pool, that is still filling, and it felt amazing. 

So I'm looking at starting my new routine tomorrow. Hubby will be golfing and I will have no reason not to get things rolling. I think the plan will be to walk and do Supernatural in the morning and lift weights in the afternoon. I am also going to log my food for the week. Even though I won't be changing my 'diet' I'm going to record it and see where I stand. 

I did get on the scale this morning and the number hasn't changed although I feel like I've gained a ton of weight. My measuring tape has run out of batteries but I have ordered them from Amazon. I will take my official weight and measurements on Monday morning. 

Okay, that's it for the moment. Tomorrow it all begins in earnest.

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.
