Just a quick check in

-

I started my stretching challenge on Sunday and I think I'm going to like it a lot. We did hamstrings and OMG was it hard. I could hardly get into the positions but that's okay. I have a lot of room for improvement. I have a rather long list on my habit tracker and I was a little concerned that it would discourage me, seeing such a long list, But it's not. I went around last night knocking things off that list one by one. I think it will work because right now I have to be very intentional to make sure I get things done. Once these habits set in, it will be a lot easier to keep them going. Shoot, look how easy it was to fit 10 minutes of journaling in every day. I made that a habit pretty quickly. 

My current habit tracker list: 

  • a.m. stretch
  • 20 mins reading
  • Blogging/writing
  • Science of stretching
  • 7,500 steps - had to walk around the pool a few times to get this done
  • 3 days working out
  • Check CTY
  • Review Weekly Focus
  • Mundane Task - this week's weekly focus assignment
None of these things take a long time, I just have to make sure to get them done. What I did not do last night was sit on the couch mindlessly for an hour and color. While coloring is fun, it as becoming something that I had to do. Ugh!!! I want to focus on things that are good for my mental and physical well-being not games. 

So there we are. Now it's time to get ready for work.

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.
