COLONIAL HEIGHTS AT HOPEWELL

The Colonial Heights baseball team will travel to Hopewell tonight to face the Blue Devils at 6pm tonight. The Colonials look to rebound after a tough loss to Dinwiddie. The CH softball team and boys soccer team will be at Hopewell as well while the girls soccer team will be at home against Hopewell. The Thomas Dale baseball team will be at home against Dinwiddie in key CD match up today. The Virginia baseball team is off until May 8 because of exams. My back and shoulder is a bit sore this morning from throwing allot of BP this week so my PAIN index remains elevated. I don't know why but I think I had the best nights sleep that I have had in a number of months last night, I slept like a rock. Traffic on the blog has been extremely slow this week for some reason, has everybody been reading Facebook and not Mickey's Place. MICKEY

Fitness does not have to be expensive. Ultimately any money you spend on a serious fitness routine will come back to you tenfold in health and fitness benefits and happiness. But if you are on a tight budget there should be no problem. All you need is a rope to jump or a flight of stairs to climb. And let us not forget the endless natural terrain that Mother Nature provides for us to run and hike and rollerblade on.

You Can Walk Off Weight
Exercise such as walking is an important part of any weight loss program. You must still watch how much you eat in order to lose weight. But walking helps you build healthy lean muscle, lose inches of fat, and pump up your metabolism. Of long-term successful weight losers, almost all maintain a program of walking or other exercise.

Walkers Live Longer
The Honolulu Heart Study of 8000 men found that walking just two miles a day cut the risk of death almost in half. The walkers' risk of death was especially lower from cancer. Other studies have had similar findings - if you keep walking, you improve your chances of a longer and healthier life.


The joy of being
If you're willing to admit it when you're wrong, you'll be able to improve and get it right. When you accept that you don't know it all, there's so very much that you will learn.
Spend more time listening than you do talking, and it will add greatly to the effectiveness of what you say. Let go of the need to prove how smart you are, and your wisdom will deeply grow.

Keep in mind that there are many other points of view, and that will make your own perspective more valuable. Assume that there's room for improvement, and the improvement will surely come.

Stop worrying so much about who or what you appear to be. Instead, put your energy into fully expressing the unique and beautiful person you truly are.

There's no need to strive when you're fully alive. Let go of the trying and live the rich, exquisite joy of being.
-- Ralph Marston

Stay connected. Having regular social contacts with friends and loved ones is key to avoiding depression, which can lead to premature death, something that's particularly prevalent in elderly widows and widowers. Some psychologists even think that one of the biggest benefits elderly folks get from exercise the strong social interactions that come from walking with a buddy or taking a group exercise class. Having a daily connection with a close friend or family member gives older folks the added benefit of having someone watch their back. "They'll tell you if they think your memory is going or if you seem more withdrawn," says Perls, "and they might push you to see a doctor before you recognize that you need to see one yourself."

RANGERS IN TROUBLE, KESELOWSKI WINS A WILD ONE

The New York Rangers were hammered by the Washington Capitals yesterday 5-3 and believe me the game was not as close as the final score indicated. The Caps dominated the Rangers in every aspect of the game, they will play game 7 off the series tomorrow night with the winner advancing to the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Brad Keselowski picked up his 1st career win yesterday at Talladega winning a wild finish when we he and Carl Edwards came together causing Edwards car to become air born hit the catch fence and flip, Dale Jr. came home 2nd. Next week they will at the Richmond International Raceway. The Virginia baseball team lost to N.C. State yesterday 7-6. The Thomas Dale baseball team will be back in action today against Petersburg. Andrew's Little League team didn't get a hit last night and lost there game 10-0, dad said the pitcher for the other team was the best pitcher that he has seen in the league all year. My PAIN index is a bit higher than this morning because I cut the grass an I inhaled a bunch of pollen doing so. It looks like the weather here in CH will continue to be warm for the next 2 days with highs in the 90's before dropping back into 70's by Wednesday. MICKEY

Being active is the enemy of unwanted weight. If you are not active and not doing anything you may just reach out for food to kill boredom. Want to get fit faster? Then keep moving and be active. Just walking up the stairs when you have the chance instead of taking the escalator can make a difference. By constantly moving you are burning fat and keeping your metabolism revved.

Optimism
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Move around. "Exercise is the only real fountain of youth that exists," says Jay Olshansky, a professor of medicine and aging researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "It's like the oil and lube job for your car. You don't have to do it, but your car will definitely run better." Study after study has documented the benefits of exercise to improve your mood, mental acuity, balance, muscle mass, and bones. "And the benefits kick in immediately after your first workout," Olshansky adds. Don't worry if you're not a gym rat. Those who see the biggest payoffs are the ones who go from doing nothing to simply walking around the neighborhood or local mall for about 30 minutes a day. Building muscle with resistance training is also ideal, but yoga classes can give you similar strength-training effects if you're not into weight lifting.

Floss every day. That may help keep your arteries healthy. A 2008 New York University study showed that daily flossing reduced the amount of gum-disease-causing bacteria in the mouth. This bacteria is thought to enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in the arteries, a major risk factor for heart disease. Other research has shown that those who have high amounts of bacteria in their mouth are more likely to have thickening in their arteries, another sign of heart disease. "I really do think people should floss twice a day to get the biggest life expectancy benefits," stresses Perls.

Value in the giving
There have been times when the kindness of another person has changed your life for the better. And it's easy to see that kindness has the power to reach far beyond itself.
In the most difficult of moments, kindness heals and reassures. Kindness gives comfort, and hope where there was none before.

Kindness can inspire confidence. It changes for the better the perspective of those it touches.

When you seek to make a difference, kindness is a great place to start. Just the simple desire to give it is all you really must have.

So give kindness, freely and without hesitation. Whether you get it back does not really even matter, for its true value is in the giving.

Live with kindness, and you'll always see life's very best possibilities. For in kindness, is the heart of who you truly are.
