The Football Fan’s Diet

PITTSBURGH – Well, I had a few beers yesterday and went over the my DGO for the day. It was almost like a spontaneous New Year’s Eve Celebration materialized a day BEFORE New Year’s Eve. Don’t you just hate when that happens? Well, I had some uncommonly good news to celebrate, which I will save for a later date. The point is, so far as the new Season IV is concerned, I lost my first day in a big way.

I put my beer rule into effect. I didn’t want to, but I did and tallied the damage this morning. I’ll save the exact amount for the end of the week lest I publicly embarrass myself as to how many so-called “field goals” I surrendered for imbibing as I did yesterday. Nonetheless, I plan to be painfully honest about my scores.

Once again I was tempted to say, you know, “It is New Year’s, who cares about this diet?” After all, I could start tomorrow on January 1 like millions of others. But, I can’t keep doing that. I made a commitment this time and aim to stick to it come Harry’s Big and Tall or slim jeans. Does this sound like you time and again? If so, I can surely empathize.

Well, today, I am obviously going to take an “R & R” day being the holiday. For a guy my size, to maintain my weight, I can shovel about 3,000 calories down the pie hole. Well, I weigh 268. Still, something tells me this limit is NOT necessarily safe today. Well see.

Now it is New Year’s Eve. So as much as you can be healthy and see if you can put up a Touchdown or two. If not, no big deal. There is always tomorrow to get right back on track. Good luck and Happy New Year’s to you. I’ll check back in tomorrow. Remind me about that good news down the road sometime.
