GOOD LUCK TO ALL

I just want to wish everybody good luck in this Mickey's Place College Football Pick em Contest, especially are new players Murph, Julianne, Les and Derrelle. It should be an interesting year for sure, we have 2 games in our contest tonight. Down at the beach tonight undefeated Manteo will be at undefeated First Flight, both teams enter tonights contest at 2-0. I have to say that yesterday at work was a very long day, the boss decided it was time to clean the freezer and needless to say it took quite some time so I was a bit late getting home again yesterday. Hopefully today I will be able to get off at my normal time at 3pm. Also yesterday the CH JV football team beat Thomas Jefferson, I don't know what the score was because the game started at 5pm, I may be able to make next weeks game with Park View South Hill. Also fellow blogger Scott's dad is in the hospital, maybe Scott can give us an update on his dad when he gets a chance. MICKEY

Learn to Relax - If you are an emotional eater, learning to relax will help reduce stress which often times can lead to a binge. Use guided imagery - just close your eyes and imagine yourself at your favorite place. This might be at the beach, in the mountains, on a cruise, or on an exotic island. Another tip to relax is to listen to music. Studies show that when you relax you're decreasing the production of cortisol which can lead to carbohydrate cravings.

Refuse to be satisfied with the status quo: Always look for new and innovative ways to do things, and find creative ways to solve problems, perhaps by blending ideas. Reinvent yourself, push your boundaries and do the unexpected. Mediocrity breeds more mediocrity and greatness breeds more greatness.
