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.

The Tuck Rule

This posting concerns the Tuck Rule.  No, not the Tuck Rule game famously immortalized in the 2002 AFC Divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders, but rather the unstated rule of whether to tuck your shirt in or leave it out.  

Before, I get into all that, a quick update.

I am still going strong on the Football Fan's Diet and it is J-12 already.  I watched what I ate, I have routinely exercised, and I am staying motivated.  As a result, I have not lost one day to my unhealthy self since I started this last season on The Football Fans Diet.  The winning trend began last week and is continuing into this one.  That is awesome.

However I do from this point forward I am happy with my health progress to date.  That happiness is perhaps no better exemplified then my willingness to go with a tuck in.  You see, I wore a collared shirt today and tucked it in my pants.  Call me old school, but I believe collared shirts should be tucked in.  I should add, however, that I think nothing looks worse than having a big enormous beer gut dunlop over the belt buckle.  Because I have one of these big things, I have avoided the tuck.  Well, I would tuck, but I would throw a sweater over the whole shebang.  The sweater over a collared shirt hid well that unsightly lopping of my dun over my flop (did that make sense?).

At last, today was different.  Today, I donned the collared shirt and tucked that bastard into the zippered realm. Was there loppage over my flop?  Dun right about that but the dunlopping was minimal comparatively speaking.  Indeed the hard work is slowly paying off.  I have touchdowns to show for it but I also have a tucked in shirt to sport.
