And then there was one...

So the bribing thing is actually working out! Devin misplaced one of his canes and came out for dinner with just a single cane. We told him that if he could walk to his chair with the single cane he would earn a quarter. Well, he didn't make it to his chair, but after dinner he decided to walk from the couch to the safe. He did that four times with just a single cane and actually we finally stopped him. Well, actually he did it one more time for "free". It was really great and although I am not really happy about our method of motivation it does appear to be working so we are going to stick with it. At one point I was going to stop him earlier and I reconsidered and just let him continue. Maybe he will keep working at this and he is REALY excited about getting the quarters.

OAN (On Another Note) I made a bet with some guys on who would be the first to loose 30 pounds... This event started today and from our weigh-in today whoever looses 30 pounds first wins the $150 pot. This should be VERY interesting!

You go guys!!!!!

Money is a motivator. Go for the quarters and the $150 (will give you extra cash to pay out those quarters).

Good picture of Devin.
