ANOTHER WARM DAY, TGIF

Well we are going to have another warm but rainy day here in Colonial Heights. It is suppose to get up into the upper 60's to low 70's and there is a pretty good chance of rain as well. Enjoy today because it looks like it is going to be in the 40's all of next week. The CH girls basketball team had a pretty rough outing last night falling to Meadowbrook 76-28, tonight the boys team will play at Meadowbrook. The NFL playoffs will resume on Saturday with the Seattle Seahawks visting Green Bay to play the Packers in the 1st game followed by Jacksonville visiting New England. In Green Bay tomorrow it looks like there be a chance of light snow and the temps will be a balmy 30 at game time. The Richmond Renegades are off tonight and will back at home Saturday night against the Knoxville Ice Bears. This week sure has flown by, it just doesn't feel like it Friday already but I am not complaining. MICKEY

You can never plan the future by the past.

Health and Diet Tip
Your weight is just a number on the scale. Since muscle is denser tissue than fat, you may weigh more than the average person. But you also may be fitter and healthier than someone who’s the same height, but weighs less. Your healthy weight is the weight at which you feel good, have plenty of energy, and don’t have any obesity-related illnesses including hypertension, type 2 diabetes and arthritis.


Fitness Tip
Forget laughter, exercise is the best medicine. In a survey of more than 46,000 people, exercise scored better than other remedies for allergies, depression, high cholesterol, insomnia and respiratory infections. Participants also favored exercise over alternative therapies such as herbs and acupuncture.
