ANDREWS TEAM BACK IN ACTION TONIGHT AT 8PM, TGIF

The Central Chesterfield All Stars will be back in action tonight at 8pm against Tuckahoe at Ironbridge Park. This is the same Tuckahoe team that they beat 16-15 the other night in a very long game. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be racing at Watkins Glen this weekend. The Virginia Cavalier football team will have its first practice of the season today, the Cavaliers will open the season at home on September 5 against William & Mary. I sure am glad that is Friday, I have been in the warehouse 3 of the 4 days so far this week and I am quite sore, maybe I will go out on the truck today since it is Friday. MICKEY

Digestive System: Lemons can stimulate your digestive system, helping it to eliminate waste. Specifically, drinking hot water with lemon juice can help to alleviate nausea, heartburn, constipation, hiccups, and even, parasites. Further, when lemon is mixed with hot water and olive oil, it may help dissolve gallstones.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. -Robert Collier

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD, ANDREWS TEAM WINS AGAIN

Well today is Dad's birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD and today he is 69 years young. I don't know what he is going to do for his birthday but I am sure he will eat some cake, again Happy Birthday Dad. Andrew's baseball team beat Ashland last night and Andrew had 2 hits in the game, they will play again Friday night at Ironbridge. The Colonial Heights Optimist team didn't fair as well last night falling to Hopewell 6-2 in the BIB Tournament. Well we didn't get as much rain yesterday as the weather service thought we where going to get yesterday however there is pretty good chance we will get some today. Also there appears to be heat wave early next week, it could be the hottest it has been all year early next week. Also at work yesterday I did go out on one of the trucks so I didn't have to stay in the warehouse all day, the bad news it that we didn't get back until 5:30pm. We went to Urbana, Tappahanock, Reedville and Kilmarnock. MICKEY

It takes more than a week to undo all your hard work, so don't be afraid to take a break if you're feeling tired and sore. A few facts to consider:

-Aerobic power can decline about 5-10% in three weeks.
-It takes about 2 months of inactivity to completely lose the gains you've made.
-Extremely fit exercisers will experience a rapid drop in fitness during the first three weeks of inactivity before it tapers off.
-Muscular strength and endurance lasts longer than aerobic fitness. Muscles retain a memory of exercises for weeks or even months.

Detox and Beauty: Adding lemon to water, and drinking the combo throughout the day is great for your body and for your skin. Both lemon and water are important in eliminating toxins. Further, because lemon acts as an alkalizing agent in your body, it helps to neutralize the PH levels in your body.

ANDREW'S TEAM WINS, FELLOW BLOGGER ON THE PA

Andrew's LL team beat a team from the Tuckahoe LL last night 16-15 in what may have been the longest game in LL history. I think it took about 3 hours to play 6 innings. Fellow blogger Keith was on PA last night at Andrew's game, I wonder who nominated him for that. After another day at the warehouse yesterday I am very sore this morning, my legs and side are very sore. The CH Optimist will be back in action tonight against Hopewell, a win tonight will put them in the final 4 of the tournament. It is going to be a hot and humid again today, there is a good chance we could get some t-storms this afternoon which could produce allot of rain in a short period. There is a fellow blogger with a birthday tomorrow, stay tuned to see who it is. MICKEY

There's no hard and fast rule about how many rest days to take or when to take them. The key is to listen to your body for signs of overtraining and to your mind for signs of boredom or exhaustion.

HAMLIN WINS AT POCONO

Denny Hamlin ended a 50 race winless streak yesterday at Pocono holding off Juan Pablo Montoya for the win. I was able to see the end off the race after work. Tony Stewart continues to lead the point standings by 197 over Jimmie Johnson and 199 over Jeff Gordon. Andrews Little League team will be back in action tonight at Ironbridge Park, they won Sundays game 13-3, Dad says the game is a t 6pm but that has not been confirmed. Yesterday at work I stayed in the warehouse all day which makes for a very long day, hopefully today I will be back on a truck going somewhere. I have posted a link below to all the photos Al took on his visit to Camden Yards Sunday. MICKEY

Enjoy the Little Things: Instead of concentrating on your exercise objectives, focus on the little things that make fitness worthwhile. Maybe it's the way you feel after you've finished a workout, the extra three minutes you stayed on the treadmill, or the fact that your favorite suit fits better.

Create opportunity
Opportunity is greatest when it seems to be gone. In times of difficulty, there is much room for achievement.

This is a time to create great value. This is a moment ripe with new opportunities for moving ahead.

Just when you feel you have no more to give, that's when you can rise to a whole new level of effectiveness. When previously reliable actions bring disappointing results, outstanding new possibilities are already taking shape.

When all hope is gone, new hope asserts itself more strongly than ever. Along with every obstacle comes the energy to transcend that obstacle.

Your very nature is to create new value. Out of difficulty and challenge, you can create achievement and prosperity.

When there appears to be no opportunity, that in itself is a great opportunity. It's a great opportunity for you to create an opportunity of your own.

BOY DID IT RAIN AT THE BEACH

I hadn't seen it rain that much in a long time at the beach, yesterday afternoon at the house we got over 2.50 inches of rain in about a 3 hour period. Before it rained you could cot the humidity with a knife. There for a while I thought I might have to saty an extra day at the beach because I couldn't get back to the car. Rain also washed out yesterday Nascar race at Pocono, they will run that race today at Noon, I might be able to catch the end of the race after work today. I din't hear anything about how Andrew's baseball team did yesterday, I think they are off today before playing again tomorrow night. It's going to be pretty hot here in CH the next few days with a high in the low 90's today before rising into the mid to upper 90's Tuesday and Wednesday. I think they need to add a extra day to the weekend because they are just not long enough. MICKEY

Split It Up: If your entire workout routine seems daunting, divide your exercises into smaller, more manageable chunks. That way, it's more likely that you'll complete your activities.

Dieting No-Nos
Regardless of how much you want to lose weight and how fast you want that weight loss to occur, you should never put your health at risk by dieting. While some crash diets may help you to detoxify your body and lose weight in the process, others are extremely dangerous. It is best to avoid any diet which restricts your vitamin and mineral intake, for example diets which recommend only one or two types of foods. Diets that limit calories below 1,500 a day or that simply make you feel bad are not a good idea.

CH WINS IN BIB ACTION, WENT TO THE TALE OF THE WHALE

The CH Optimist team beat the Matoaca Indians last night 7-1 in BIB Tournament action at Shepherd Stadium, with the CH will face Hopewell on Wednesday night. Andrew's team lost 4-3 yesterday in the Central Chesterfield Invitational, they will play again today. Fellow blogger Al will be in Baltimore today with rest of the family to the Orioles face the Boston Red Sox and from what I understand they will be selling oxygen where his seats are. Well it was a cloudy day here on the OBX yesterday and we did pick up a little rain as well but not much, down around the MP 16 area they almost picked up 2 inches of rain but here we got .05 inches. We went to The Tale of The Whale for supper last night and I got the ribs and they were very good but they were a bit messy as well but they were good. Well I will back in the Heights later today.

Give yourself a goal
Do yourself a favor and give yourself a goal. Make it meaningful, make it exciting, make it challenging and then make it happen.

Set your goal a little bit beyond what you already know you can do. Then when you reach it you'll not only have the achievement, you'll also have an increased level of confidence.

As long as you're making the effort to live this day, give it a purpose. Give yourself a goal, and transform fleeting time into lasting accomplishment.

From where you are, you can go anywhere. One by one, the goals you set will get you there.

Working steadily and persistently toward a goal will energize all aspects of your life and bring the awesome power of focus to your efforts. There's truly no feeling quite like it.

Challenge yourself forward with a great and meaningful goal. Give yourself a goal, and make yourself some real treasure.

I AM BACK AT THE BEACH

After another tough week at work I decided I needed to go back to the beach for some more R & R. I think the rain followed me down here last night, it rained on and off all the way down here. This morning it is 77 degrees with a slight breeze blowing from the west and it's partly cloudy. The water temperature is cold 63 degrees, now that is cold for the 1st day of August. Andrew is playing in a baseball tournament today and tomorrow at Ironbridge Park, I don't know what time his game is today, maybe fellow blogger Keith can fill us in on that. In BIB Tournament action last night the CH Quarterback team fell to Prince George 12-0, the CH Optimist team will play the Matoaca Indians tonight in BIB action. Rain washed out qualifying yesterday at Pocono so Tony Stewart from the pole on Sunday, Jimmie Johnson will join him on the front row. I just finished eating some Dunkin Donuts and I have to say they were very good and are very close to overtaking Wal-Mart donuts for my favorite donuts. MICKEY
