COLONIALS WIN, RENEGADES LOSE, AND I AM GOING TO SEE SOME COLLEGE BASEBALL TODAY

The Colonial Heights Colonials picked up there 2nd win of the season last night and there 1st win in the CD knocking off Matoaca 77-72 in OT, the Colonials came from 9 points down to win. Next up for the Colonials is Petersburg in the 1st round of the CD tournament. After winning 12 straight games the Renegades have now lost 4 in row, the Gades fell to Huntsville last night 5-4, they will play at Huntsville again tonight. The VCU Rams can just about wrap up the CAA tonight with a win over Old Dominion, the game can be seen on ESPN2. I am going to see Virginia State play Bloomfield College in baseball this afternoon, they are playing a double header, I probably won't stay for both games because it is going to be a bit on the cold side. In case you were wondering Bloomfield College is in Bloomfield, New Jersey and there are known as the Deacons. Speaking of baseball the Colonial Heights Colonials will have there 1st scrimmage of the year two weeks from today. My PAIN index has dropped a bit today. MICKEY

WEIGHT LOSS TIP
Do not drink your calories. Soda, juice, coffee filled with creamer and alcohol can contain a ton of calories. By sticking to tea and water you can cut hundreds of calories each day. By simple cutting out a couple high-calorie beverages daily, you can lose several pounds.

Real confidence
The strongest confidence is quiet, inner confidence. The surest sign of inherent weakness and lack of confidence is the need to boast.

Practice humility and what you will build is confidence. The less you care about impressing others, the more impressed they will be.

Be honest and authentic, and your confidence will grow. The more fully you realize that there's no need to hide who you are, the more confident you'll become in every endeavor.

Approach each task with understanding and patience. Don't let arrogance infect your attitude, for arrogance is a feeble imitation of confidence that drives real confidence away.

Know where you are going and why. True confidence flows naturally from a clear sense of purpose.

There is a solid, genuine confidence within you, and it can empower all that you do. Live and act to nourish and grow that confidence, and it will surely serve you well.
