CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT IT'S OCT 1


I can't believe today is October 1, this year has been flying by and before you know it Christmas is going to be here. Speaking of Christmas I have done some shopping but no where as much I would have liked to have, I am sure some of you bloggers haven't even started thinking about Christmas. The National Hockey League starts is season tonight with 4 games with the rest of teams opening up there season over the next 2 days, if you have Direct TV you probably won't be able to see tonights games because the are the Versus TV Network and that channel has been dropped by Direct TV in contract dispute. I have received everybody picks for this weeks games with the exception of 1 person and that person is not a blogger but has said his picks would be in by this morning, I will send out the master sheet later today. I did go to the JV football game last night and I did see fellow blogger Al at the game taking photos, it was tough night for the Colonials. MICKEY

Grab the heavy dumbbells.
Even when exercisers lifted identical volumes (such as 10 pounds 10 times or 20 pounds 5 times), those using the heavier dumbbells burned about 25% more calories when they were finished. The reason: Heavy weights break down more protein in the muscle, so your body has to use more energy to repair and recover--that's how lean muscle tissue is built. And the boost can last long after you’ve put the dumbbells away. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that working out with heavy weights even for as few as 3 to 6 reps increased exercisers' sleeping metabolic rate—the number of calories burned overnight—-by nearly 8%. That's enough to lose about 5 pounds in a year, even if you did nothing else.

Use cash. When you’re paying for things like groceries, gas and other routine items, there’s nothing easier. You can’t overdraft it, and you won’t have to worry about fees and interest. Once it’s spent, that’s it. Done.

Long-range goals keep you from being frustrated by short-term failures.
