Tonight, Clint Bowyer will make an appearance on The Biggest Loser. He'll be giving an inspirational pep talk to the contestants before their challenge of pulling a two-ton car. The show airs on NBC, 9-11 p.m.
As much as I LOVE the fact that I get to watch Bowyer tonight on TBL, I would think the show could have picked a driver with a healthier sponsor or at least no food sponsor at all. Last time I checked, Hamburger Helper wasn't the healthiest meal to be eating while trying to lose weight.
Having said that, I'll leave you with this:
Next up: Casey Mears will get in his Jack Daniels driver's suit and give inspirational talk to folks on Celebrity Rehab.
All right, so I've got a bit of the Twitter bug. On Sunday I tried tweeting a bit while watching the race. I am great at multi-tasking but this was pushing the limits.
Between watching and taking notes on the race for this blog, getting up to get a drink here and there, tweeting and trying to carry on conversations at home, my blood pressure likely wasn't within the normal limits.
Normally during commercial breaks is my time to do various things like change over laundry, talk with family and friends ... etc., etc. But I found that during commercial breaks (especially at Bristol) was the BEST time to sit there and watch all the tweets, so I stayed glued to the chair. The first three cautions happened during commercial breaks on Sunday and I knew about all three almost instantly from people tweeting from the racetrack.
As much as I felt a bit overwhelmed, I am a glutton for punishment and will do it all over again during Sunday's race at Martinsville. You should check it out and let me know what you think.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Ms. Lizotte, but isn't Cheerios Clint's main sponsor (you know, the healthy whole grain cereal proven to lower cholestrol...at least that's what was medically proven to do...I see it on their boxes). Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't General Mills also have other healthy brands like yoplait, nature valley, an organic line of cereals among many other great brands as well? I can't figure out why you're bashing on one of the healthiest food companies around.
Finally, by looking at your photo, are you really the best person to advise on which foods are healthy or not? No offense, but shouldn't you watch the show before making assumptions on what it's about? I'd be interested to see if your blog changes tomorrow if you do indeed watch the show.
I think if Clint and Cheerios wants to be some sort of inspiration to people, why not support them by caring about their lives?

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
