On The Football Fan's Diet, you award yourself Touchdowns (e.g., 7 points - extra point is automatic) for doing healthy things, which you establish as a scoring system to help move you toward "The Super Bowl of Health" - whatever that might be for you - and away from a super bowl of, say, mashed potatoes or, perhaps, some other culinary entity of something that makes you a big fat tubby.  Those so-called healthy things are limited to your imagination.  You could give yourself a TD for not smoking on anyone particular day.  You could give yourself a TD for simply refraining from some behavior which you are trying to kick for good.

On The Football Fan's Diet, you optionally award yourself Field goals  (e.g., 3 points) for doing smaller healthy things, which you establish as part of your scoring system, all of which is designed to help move you toward "The Super Bowl of Health".  On my version of the Football Fan's Diet, I give myself 3 points for every time I exercise at the gym.  Conversely, I give my "Fat Butt" 3 points on days I drink beer.  In fact, I have this personal challenge of seeing how many days I can go without having a beer.  Not sure how many winning days I strung together, but it is not more than a week. It is a record I should probably try to break.

Coach's Corner: The Wheels Came Off In The Fourth Quarter of Week 2

CoachWe won Week 2 yes, but indeed we did not perform in the fourth quarter and there is clearly a carry-over effect going on.  Matt is not off to a good start on Monday and it has all the smell of the same-old same-old, piss-poor health effort that got us to the bottom of the barrel to begin with.  Matt is slipping on his diet.  Matt's new year resolutions for 2012 to become a healthy dad once and for all seems to be going back the other way. 

In hindsight, we acknowledge that 4 beers (the first 2 over at dad's house) last Wednesday was the beginning of the slip-ups.  There was no need for it then and there is no need for it now.  Beer must be minimized. 

We already are down on Monday.  The fat struck first and with a vengeance yesterday.  There was this obligatory, if not compulsory, trip to Sheetz for dogs.  There was Wendy's.  There was being crafty about all the garbage that got shoveled down the pie hole yesterday.  Why?  When is enough, enough? 

There are six days left to make this a winning week.  We won last week, but because of how it ended, it was one of those weeks that felt like a loss. This week is already feeling like a loss but the goal now is to make it end like a win, which it needs to be, and by God, will be.
