VIRGINIA BEATS LONGWOOD, VCU ALSO WINS

The Virginia Cavalier basketball team opened it's season up last night with 85-72 win over the Longwood Lancers, the Cavaliers will travel to South Florida on Monday to face the Bulls. The VCU Rams also opened there season up with a win last night beating Bethune-Cookman 77-51 and understand the Rowdy Rams fans were wound up last night. The Virginia football team will be in action at home today against the Eagles of Boston College, I think it is going to be another long day for the Cavaliers. Martin Truex Jr. captured the pole for this weekends race at Phoenix edging Kurt Busch for top spot. In it still very overcast here in Colonial Heights this morning and there is a bit of drizzle in the air as well, when is the sun going to come back out. The Colonial Heights football game scheduled for last night against Hopewell has bee moved until Monday night at 7:30pm, also both of the schools down at the beach in the North Carolina High School playoffs games were moved to Monday as well. I did go to Wal-Mart this morning but I got our donuts at Dunkin Donuts and they were very good. MICKEY

Sleep 30 Minutes More a Night
That extra half an hour, whether you sleep 5 hours or 8, can refresh you enough that you will make better food choices (in other words, no quick sugar fix for breakfast in search of energy) and won't feel lethargic and skip the gym, says registered dietician Esther Blum, author of Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous. More restful sleep (7 to 8 hours is best) also boosts your metabolism. And since your body builds muscle while you snooze, getting zzz's equals better muscle tone.

EGGS
Benefit: Weight loss
Substitute: Egg Beaters egg substitute

When it comes to breakfast, you can’t beat eggs. (That was too easy, wasn’t it?) Seriously, at a cost of only 72 calories, each large egg holds 6.3 grams of high-quality protein and a powerhouse load of vital nutrients. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that people who replace carbs with eggs for breakfast lose weight 65 percent quicker. Researchers in Michigan were able to determine that regular egg eaters enjoyed more vitamins and minerals in their diets than those who ate few or no eggs. By examining surveys from more than 25,000 people, the researchers found that egg eaters are about half as likely to be deficient in vitamin B12, 24 percent less likely to be deficient in vitamin A, and 36 percent less likely to be deficient in vitamin E. And here’s something more shocking: Those who ate at least four eggs a week had significantly lower cholesterol levels than those who ate fewer than one. Turns out, the dietary cholesterol in the yolk has little impact on your serum cholesterol. Bonus tip: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
