A little more tough love

-

 So my tough love from the other day worked. I've been focusing on my business for a few hours every day and my Etsy store is just about ready to open. The goal is to get it open today. I can do that with some dedicated effort. So that has really worked out well. After I get the Etsy store open, I'm switching my focus to Amazon and getting that thing up and running. But that's for later in the week. 

Today I want to talk about my health. And my real lack of attention to it. 

I got my Lumen in March. It is now June. That means I have had my Lumen for 3 months. Has anything changed in that time? NO!! I started the Aloha Challenge in April. Has anything changed since then? NO!! So I am all talk. 'I'm gonna do this....and I'm gonna do that....and this will be great' blah, blah, blah. I don't have any follow through. WTF?????

I am home for summer break. I have been for 2 weeks and I will be for a few more weeks. This is the perfect time to really work on the Lumen and my health since I have nothing else taking up my brain space. I have the time to workout. Multiple times a day if I wish. I have the freedom to eat what and when I want. I'm done. I'm done with excuses. I'm done with the laziness. I'm done freaking feeling like I'm not doing enough. I. AM. DONE. 

Okay, so much like my post about my business, let's see how I can work this out. 

I will walk the canal every single day. I enjoy that and it's a great way to start my day. 

I will go to the gym Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. That's 4 days a week, that's a good number of visits. 

On Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, I will do Supernatural. I enjoy that. It's low impact and not as strenuous as a gym workout. So I will do that. 

My standing desk has been raised and it is not going down again. It is up for good. I still have my table that I work at that is sitting. So if I have something to work on I can sit, otherwise, computer work is all done standing. I got a cool little rocker board to stand on that is actually quite comfortable. And it rocks. 

I will get 10,000 steps a day. Every. Single. Day. I have a walking pad and it's going to come out so I get my steps in. 

None of these things take a huge amount of time. It's just a matter of getting them done. I still have plenty of time left in the day to create and read and watch TV. Plenty of time. 

Okay, that's it. I'm doing it. Starting now. Off to walk.

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.
