Some small victories

-

 Since my last butt kicking post, things have been going fairly well. I've been walking the canal every morning, granted it's only been 3 mornings but that's better than sitting on my butt. On Tuesday I did a strength workout before I had to pick Hubby up from the airport. Yesterday I did not do an afternoon workout as we had plans. We went to dinner and a haunted tour of the brewery we love to go to. That was fun. This morning I got up and went for a canal walk. I know once I return to school on Monday I will not have time for a morning canal walk but I'm trying to figure out how to squeeze something in. I would love to do a short Supernatural workout, I enjoy those and the music gets me going. Which I think means I will need to get up at 4am instead of 4:15. It's really not that big a deal as I usually wake up at 3:45ish anyway. It will just be a matter of getting out of bed and getting moving. If I can get everything done before I wake Hubby at 4:30 then I can jump right into the headset. I'm going to give it a go on Monday. 

I have noticed that my legs are getting sore. I did notice yesterday that I was walking at a good clip on the canal. I usually don't rush, just walk. But yesterday I was going pretty good. Then I noticed that I could feel the muscles in my legs all day yesterday. This morning they were a little sore but I pushed it on the canal again. I kept up a pretty decent pace. At least I'm starting to feel something happening. 

On Monday I followed my macros exactly. I had AI write me a meal plan for the day that met my macros and I stuck to it. On Tuesday I woke up in fat burning mode. I actually woke up in fat burning mode on Monday morning too. Both days I hit my macros dead on and both days I woke up in fat burning mode. Both of the nights before I didn't have any carbs for dinner. Hmmmm...... I know that 2 days does not make a pattern, but.......... 

Anyway, a few small victories is better than none. Now I'm off to work on things.......

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.
