Our next health & fitness tip is to eliminate the unnecessary. Your challenge this week is to find something in your diet that is less than healthy and completely eliminate it.
You don’t have to pick from the junk food list. There are probably lots of things that you eat during breakfast, lunch or dinner that you would be better off without. You might consider eliminating something like bacon, sour cream, mayonnaise, etc. Remember, it’s a challenge, so try to stretch yourself.

Family Safety: Carjacking & Vehicle Safety
Thousands of unsuspecting motorists are car jacked each year. Carjacking is a violent form of motor vehicle theft. It is a serious threat to one’s personal safety because the perpetrator uses force to steal the vehicle. Sometimes the vehicle occupants are kidnapped during a carjacking. The worst case scenario occurs when victims are transported to a secondary crime scene, which is usually more dangerous than the original confrontation.
Many people mistakenly assume that carjacking crimes occur only in blighted areas. Carjackings can and do occur in all types of communities of varying socio-economic status. On July 19th, a couple was carjacked at gunpoint on Watchung Avenue in Chatham. And in May, The Cranford Patch reported on a carjacking that took place on Raritan Road in Cranford where the victim was threatened at knifepoint.
The recommended approach to remaining safe while driving is to remain cautious, use common sense, and educate yourself on techniques used by carjackers and what to do in a threatening situation. In any dangerous situation, you are going to fall into one of two categories: you will either have absolutely no idea what to do in order to protect yourself and your loved ones, or you will have some idea of what to do. Obviously, you want to have a good idea of what actions to take.
In order to form a plan of action, we must first understand some facts about carjacking crimes. According to a 9 year study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a weapon was used in nearly three-quarters (74%) of carjacking victimizations. Guns and knives were the most popular weapons chosen by thieves. Nearly one-third (32%) of victims of completed carjackings were injured.
A majority (68%) of carjacking incidents occurred at night (6 p.m. – 6 a.m.). 44% of carjacking incidents occurred in an open area, such as on the street or near public transportation and 24% occurred in parking lots or garages or near commercial places such as stores, gas stations, restaurants/bars, etc.
Some of the most common techniques employed by carjackers include:
1.) The Bump: The attacker bumps the victim’s vehicle from behind. The victim gets out to assess the damage and exchange information. This is the tactic that was used to carjack the victims in Chatham.
2.) Good Samaritan: The attacker(s) stage what appears to be an accident. They may simulate an injury. The victim stops to assist, and the vehicle is taken.
3.) The Ruse: The vehicle behind the victim flashes its lights or the driver waves to get the victim’s attention. The attacker tries to indicate that there is a problem with the victim’s car. The victim pulls over and the vehicle is taken.
4.) The Trap: Carjackers use surveillance to follow the victim home. When the victim pulls into his or her driveway, the attacker pulls up behind and blocks the victim’s car.
Awareness and avoidance are always the first steps in remaining safe, so let’s go over some common sense tips to reduce your risk of being carjacked:
– Drive with your doors locked and windows rolled up. Keep your cell phone within reach.
– When stopped in traffic, look for possible escape routes. Leave enough room between your vehicle and the car in front of you to maneuver easily enough to escape.
– When stopped at a red light, use your rear-view and side mirrors to monitor your surroundings. This makes it less likely for an attacker to surprise you.
– Always keep your cell phone close by and have emergency numbers pre-programmed.
– Be wary of panhandlers or people asking for directions and handing out flyers.
– If you are bumped in traffic, be suspicious of the accident. Contact the police immediately.
– Don’t pull over in any isolated area. Get the other drivers attention and motion to him to follow you, and drive to a gas station or busy parking lot before getting out.
– Be cautious of the Good Samaritan who offers to repair your car. It’s okay to get help, just be alert and cautious.
If all else fails and you find yourself confronted by an armed carjacker, do not resist! Give up your keys or money (if demanded) without resistance. Never argue, fight, or chase the carjacker. You can be seriously injured. In a vast majority of carjacking scenarios, the vehicle is the primary target. There is a good chance that the victim might not be harmed. However, if you cannot escape in your vehicle, it is imperative that you get out of the vehicle right away. Remember, non-confrontation is often the best response. The object is not to thwart the criminal, but to survive!
In the wake of a carjacking, get to a safe place and call the police immediately to report the crime and provide detailed information.

Cruel Summer
Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner and it will soon be time for barbecues, day trips and vacations, oh my! Summer tends to be one of the most challenging times of the year to stay disciplined with workouts and diet regimens. After all, we all want to enjoy some well-deserved relaxation and take advantage of the seasonal goodies we look forward to. The goal is to find a balance between enjoying the food and leisure activities while maintaining some semblance of a healthy diet and exercise routine.
Here are 5 tips to help you stay on track:
1.) Decide In Advance. When attending barbecues, parties or any gathering where there will be abundant food and drink use the “decide in advance” strategy. Simply decide in advance how many beers, hamburgers or hot dogs you will indulge in. Once you have decided, discipline yourself to stick to your plan.
2.) Don’t Take The Summer Off. Reducing your level of physical activity and increasing your intake of high calorie, fatty foods is a recipe for rapid weight gain. Be sure to maintain your level of physical activity throughout the summer. Keep in mind it is a hop, skip and a jump from September to the “holiday season” and it can be a real challenge to get back on track after Labor Day rolls around.
3.) Modify Your Workouts. Sometimes it is necessary to modify your workout routine in the summer. It is not advisable to go for an extended run when it is 100 degrees outside. Consider joining an air conditioned gym or exercise facility so you can continue to work out safely. Many facilities now offer short term summer memberships that you can take advantage of. You can also move your outdoor training to later in the day when it is not as hot out.
4.) Don’t Go Overboard. Enjoy yourself this summer, but don’t go completely overboard when indulging in junk food. Have one scoop of ice cream instead of two and order the small size tub of boardwalk fries. Often times you will find that your eyes are larger than your stomach and a smaller size treat will satisfy your craving.
5.) Drink Water. Avoid sugary drinks which contain empty calories and do a poor job of quenching thirst. Opt for water instead, which will keep you properly hydrated. Also, drinking water during and soon after alcohol consumption may reduce the level of dehydrating effects of alcoholic drinks.
Remember, with just a little planning and self-discipline, you can maintain a nice balance between summer fun and healthy living!
