Would you be ready?

Would you be ready for the lights to go out? I've thought about this one for a long time. Most people today are not ready for an event such as this. Would you know how to feed your family? How about find water? Cook food WITHOUT electricity. Electricity is in EVERYTHING we do now. It's hasn't even been 60 some years that we went from an truly agricultural society to a technological society. If my phone dies I am toast. I should write things down like SSN's, birth dates, other important info but it's so easy to store it digitally. Society will fall. Read Lord of the Flies, watch The Postman or The Mist and you will see how society will act. 

What do you do? Get some strike anywhere matches and a few quart baggies.  Put the matchbox in one baggy. Fill another with DRYER lint. Get you some steel wool and a few 9 volts(they stay good FOREVER). All of these can be used to make a roaring fire.keep each of these separate, especially the steel wool and the batteries.

Do this now, read up on how to purify water. The simplest way is boiling, hence the fire. Read up on building or finding shelter. You don't know if your house will remain safe. 

Always carry a bandana not to align yourself with the Crips or the Bloods but it is a fast way to drink "clean" water. I put clean in quotes because you are not safe from water borne diseases but you won't drink mud. The bandana will also protect you from the elements such as wind and sun. 

Cover yourself from head to toe in layers. People are generally nice until something is taken away from them. So learn to protect yourself. I am not advertising this TV show it just got me thinking. There is more to survival in the wilderness.

I am so wrapped around her little finger.

Bella on her glider swing.

Walked in today from Kung Fu classes and Venus says that Bella is having a hard time going to sleep. She was asking for Daddy. I go in and...she is excited to see Daddy. She reaches out, puts her hand on the side of my head and whispers, "I love you Daddy." Awww, I melted! She then says, "I have a surprise for you when I wake up. I drew a picture for you." She is growing up too fast! I can;t believe that she will be THREE in a couple of days. 

BTW, She figured out how to use her tricycle today.

On a side note, I weighed in at 163lbs today.

24 days? Thats all it takes?

As many of you know, I once was in the Fitness industry. I NEVER, repeat, NEVER endorsed supplements. Here I am several years later and I can say I'm a believer. I started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge back in March of this year. I started at 181lbs and dropped to 164lbs.  This was doing nothing more than my normal routine and following the plan to the letter.

I wondered what would have happened IF I would have done extra workouts or started to run? Mind you the 24 Day Challenge is not a magic pill that you sit on your coach and the fat melts away. You have to eat right AND do some exercise. 

These products are endorsed by the likes of Drew Brees and Colt McCoy.  Visit www.sparkignited.org and look at the list of athletes that take and endorse these supplements. 

I say the proof is in the picture. I could not find a good enough picture of just before I started, but i can tell you that I was at or near 180lbs in the picture with the brown shirt.  The other picture, those shorts can slide off me.  If you would like to drop a few pounds visit www.sparkignited.org to order products.

There is another side, you can save AND earn some $ by becoming a distributor too. Ask me how.
