The Football Fan’s Diet

On The FFD

PITTSBURGH – I don’t know what it is. But, I am getting lazy I think? I am starting to think I can now simply just walk all over my Inner Fat Slob. Because, I did what I had to do to score on Sunday to win the week. However, Monday was off to a really bad start. I was ravenous and ate like it. The only good to take out of Monday was that it was a non-beer day so I didn’t give up 10 points. Still, I got shut out 7-0.
Today is the last day of March. It will almost be 70 degrees. I managed to hit the gym and burn several hundred calories but it was an uninspired workout. I have to catch the fire back and fan the flames. I don’t have it right now. My momentum is gone.

I am looking at April and thinking that a good motivation would be to get that consecutive day record up to 21. That would be an accomplishment and put me back on course. I mean if this thing ended today, I guess I would have to say the FFD helped. But, it is not ending today. I am into Week 9. I have to turn back on the enthusiasm so as to not crawl back into my old losing ways.

And man. The scale bite back today. Ouch. What can be even more demoralizing is that pretty much no matter what I do the rest of the week, today’s weight is relegating me to a weight gain, even though that weight gain may be temporary and inflated from one bad day. Over time, it should work its way back down to the norm. The question is: will I?
