Motivation-Putting your money where your mouth is

Hey all, It's been pretty quiet on the blog. We need to keep the encouragement going and posting the news. The weekly weigh-ins are a way to keep you on track. I know. If I didn't know I'm going to face the scale every Monday, I'm going to be way more likely to stop at Dairy Queen on the way home from work.

So, C'mon everyone. Post. Post what was difficult for you this week. What worked well. AND Post the Weekly Weigh-in. We are all in this together.

You can even say...I'm not getting on the scale this week, It's been a rough week, but I promise I'll do it next week. Keep at it.

If you just here for the company or you're in for the contest, We want to hear from you.

...Oh, and those of you in the contest. I need your Money!!! Post dated checks are fine too.

A Good Weekend

It was another perfect example why I like weighing in on Mondays.

Brenda was making soups and stews to feed us lunches for the week.

Because I knew I was going to weigh in tomorrow I did not over eat today. I am so much more likely to over eat if I am at home.

--12 hours until scale time!!

Fairfax Police to crack down on distracted driving

CHANTILLY, Va. - Distracted driving in Fairfax County has caught the police's attention.

Fairfax County Police have launched a new distracted driving campaign, aimed at keeping drivers focused when they are behind the wheel.

"Talking on the cell phone, eating, personal grooming, because (drivers) are doing those types of activities, their driving is not where it should be," says Fairfax County Police Captain Susan Culin.

Officers will be posted along high-volume roads and intersections where there have been a high number of crashes, including the Route 28 corridor and the Tysons Corner area.

Culin says the officers will be in "unorthodox" locations to monitor drivers, and they will be charging people who are driving erratically due to distracted driving.

"Swerving in their lane, stopping inappropriately, braking inappropriately, not going on a green light right away," says Culin.

In addition to enforcement, Fairfax Police have a survey on their website that will allow police to gather attitudes and behaviors that cause distracted driving.

The campaign will run until June 2011.

--I'm cool. I only Facebook while driving. They didn't mention that.

Google Maps Oddities

In Theaters Now: Machete


I loved the Grindhouse Movies from Quinton Tarentino. They came with fake previews, parodies really, of the classic grindhouse genre.

I actually got to meet Danny Trejo last year at the Horrorfind convention. Got an autographed photo!

From the Kansas State Collegian:

This weekend “Machete,” Robert Rodriguez’s story that follows a man named Machete (Danny Trejo) as he slices and dices his way through drug cartels and corrupt politicians.

Do not see this movie if you do not like violence or nudity, as the entire film is filled with both. I simply lost track of how many graphic decapitations were in the movie or how many women got naked. This is not a film for everyone.

--It's good to be an American!
