COLONIALS, KNIGHTS AND CAVALIERS ALL LOSE

The Colonial Heights Colonials played a much better game defensively yesterday against Clover Hill but the offensively the Colonials were no hit in a 7-0 loss to the Cavaliers, th Colonials are now off until Tuesday when Meadowbrook visits Colonial Heights. The Thomas Dale Knights lost to Manchester 6-3, the Knights hit 3 solo HR's in the game. The Virginia Cavaliers lost to Stony Brook yesterday 6-2, they need to win these games if they want to host a NCAA baseball regional this year. After being off for the last day and a half I am heading back to work today so my PAIN index may be on the rise by tomorrow. The New York Rangers need to win tonight or Sunday against Philadelphia to guarantee them a spot in this years NHL playoffs, they could still get in if they lose both but they would have to have some help from some other people.

Don't wait too long to run again. Bad runs are usually pretty rare, so don't assume that you'll feel the same way the next time you run. So don't get discouraged and stop running for a week because you're afraid you'll have another tough run.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. ~Peace Pilgrim

DID YOU KNOW
Onions get their distinctive smell by soaking up sulfur from the soil.

Don't forget the mental training, too. Getting through a tough run makes you stronger mentally. If you're training for an event, such as a marathon, these tough runs will help teach you how to deal with rough patches during your race.

Respect the time. You should slow down the conversation between you and your doctor if you feel it's moving too fast. Politely ask you doctor to slow down because you need to understand. Keep off-topic conversations to a minimum. Remember, your doctor has more patients waiting to see him.

Go ahead
Go ahead and switch on the power to your life. Look back just long enough to remember what you treasure most, then go ahead and expand upon those treasures.

When you feel an excuse coming on, crush it under the weight of your desire to move forward. When you meet up with a challenge, delight in your ability to improve your way through it.

This is your opportunity to taste life's sweetness more fully than ever before. This is your moment to make a positive difference that will forever add value and meaning to the universe.

This is a day in which you can experience your passion from a new and empowering perspective. Surprise yourself and be delighted at how authentically beautiful you are.

Choose with your thoughts and actions to lift yourself up. Then make it all exponentially more wonderful by lifting up another, and another.

Go ahead and fully feel the white-hot energy and marvelous uniqueness of being you. Go ahead and let your own special beauty explode into every corner of life.

Body Mass Index. BMI is a simple measure of a person's fitness or weight condition. BMI was invented in the 19th century by Adolphe Quetelet. It is defined as an individual's body weight divided by the square of their height. A BMI of 18 to 25 is considered optimal. A BMI under 18 equates to being underweight while over 25 indicates being overweight.

Don't be shy. If your doctor uses a word or medical term you don't understand, ask for an explanation. Don't let the point get passed you. Politely stop your doctor and ask for clarification. Repeat it back to the doctor in your words to be sure you understand. If you let it go, you likely won't come back to it. Ask at the very moment you don't understand.

Heart Disease
Transfats (produced when vegetable oils are artificially hardened to produce margarine) have been linked to heart disease. Fast foods are often high in transfats.

Diets Aren't the Answer
I've said it before and it bears repeating: Making small changes in your diet every day is the easiest way to successfully change bad eating habits. Focusing on one thing at a time, one day at a time, will ease the pressure and allow you to ease your way into a new healthy lifestyle.

Celebrate the consequences
Do you pay a price for your actions, or do you reap great rewards from them? Do you fear the consequences of what you do, or do you eagerly await those consequences?
It all depends on the actions you take. The destination at which you arrive is determined by the direction in which you most consistently travel.

Instead of cursing the negative consequences, simply avoid the actions that cause them. Instead of wistfully wishing in vain for the things you seek, just take the actions that will bring those things into your life.

Everything in your life is the result of one thing or another. You can't avoid consequences, yet you can determine which ones you get.

Put yourself in a position to celebrate the consequences. With positive purpose, focus, effort and persistence the very best of life's results can be yours.

Most of what happens to you happens because of you. Use your actions to move solidly toward those consequences that you'll delight in celebrating.

THOMAS DALE KNOCKS OF THE COLONIALS 13-8

The Colonials baseball team cam out swinging yesterday jumping out to 3-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning yesterday at Thomas Dale only to have the Knights score 5 in the bottom of the 1st inning. There were a couple of highlights for the Colonials yesterday offensively, Derek Mears 2-3 with HR 4RBI's and B.J. Solomon went 2-4 with a HR 3RBI's. It doesn't get any easier for the Colonials tomorrow when we face Manchester the #1 team in the Central Region and on of the best teams in the state. The CH girls soccer team tied Thomas Dale 2-2 last night while the boys soccer team lost 5-1 at TD. The softball team also fell at Thomas Dale 7-0. The Virginia baseball team will open a series with Maryland today weather permitting. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be at the Texas Motor Speedway. It is going to be warm today here in CH with highs in the mid 70's but there is a pretty good chance of rain today as well.

Health Benefits of Potatoes
Potatoes are one of the most popular vegetables because they are nutritious, easy to prepare, and very versatile. They’re rich in complex carbohydrates that can supply energy, but not all that high in calories. One medium-sized potato (about 3 inches in diameter) has about 150 calories. That same potato has about 5 grams of fiber, which is important for a healthy digestive tract. They’re also a healthy source of vitamins and minerals.

Potatoes contain more potassium than any other fresh vegetable in the produce department – even more than bananas. One potato has almost 900 milligrams, which is about 20% of what you need every day. Potassium is important for body growth and cell maintenance. It’s also necessary for nervous function and for normal muscle contraction - including the heart muscle. Potassium is also an electrolyte that helps to balance the fluids in your body, which is important for healthy blood pressure.

Potatoes also contain substantial amounts of vitamins C6 and B67, which are vital for blood clotting, wound healing, a strong immune system, normal nervous system function and for converting the food you eat to energy. There’s also a substance called kukoamine found in potatoes that may help to lower blood pressure, although more research is necessary to know for sure.

The Colonial Heights baseball team fell to Dinwiddie last night 9-3 and it doesn't get any easier for the Colonials today when we travel to Thomas Dale. The CH softball team beat Dinwiddie last night 5-0. The CH softball team and boys soccer team will also be at Thomas Dale tonight while the girls soccer team will be at home. The Virginia baseball team beat Norfolk State yesterday 6-2, the Cvas will now return to ACC play on Friday against Maryland. I also understand that Andrew's baseball team will have its 1st game of the season Saturday night 6pm, I think the game is at Ironbridge Park.

Eating is one of the great pleasures in life and you can enjoy it without guilt when you allow yourself treats now and then.
