HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK, IT'S MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK

Well today is former blogger Mark Carsley's 55th birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK and where they heck have you been. Mark use to visit Mickey's Place on a regular basis but hardly make any comments anymore, have you forgot your password. I sure am glad that it is Friday, it has been a long tough week. The Ch girls basketball team lost on the road at Prince George last night 55-32 while the CH boys team lost at Atlee 67-46. The Boys team will be back in action tonight at home against Prince George. Can you believe that it is raining again today, well I guess you can and its suppose to rain again on Sunday as well. MICKEY

One Dimensional: In order to truly lose weight, you have to eat well AND be active. I’m not saying you have to run a marathon, but as we get older, our metabolisms NATURALLY slow down. The more active you are, the more calories you burn and the higher your metabolism will stay. Be active. Even if it means taking stairs instead of the elevator, walking at lunch hour, walking to work instead of taking the train…just move.

Milk
Instead of fruit juice, reach for moo juice in the morning. Drinking milk at breakfast can help you eat less at lunch, Australian scientists say. In their study, overweight people who downed about 2 1/2 cups of skim milk in the morning consumed 8.5 percent fewer calories at an all-you-can-eat lunch spread than people who drank the same amount of fruit juice. Both beverages had an equal number of calories, but the milk contained 25 grams of protein while the fruit juice had virtually no protein and 63 grams of sugar. Those may be big servings, but the principle remains: Protein helps you feel fuller throughout the morning.
