Was enjoying reading this Blog until the Buckeyes comment. Were did they finish this year? Where did SC? How many Big 10 teams were in the top 10? How many SEC teams? Hmmm….. Youungsters like you make me laugh when you make comments like that since you do not realize everything is cyclical. And, why not point out the Okie Sooners? They have lost more BCS games than anyone. Actually, I can’t blame you, if you watch ESpiN as they are just as bad as Fox News telling people what they should think and how they should feel. Anyway, good luck with your continued journey, but I lost respect for you after reading this post.

BTW, stumbled across this blog after doing google search on treadmill running tips. Had not seen it on CNN.

i confess i have no idea how long an american football game is but i am a hockey lover (in the uk no less!) and i try and limit my snacks while watching. bag of treats (er 500g chocolate things or gummy candy) a small coke and if it’s really cold some fries and nothing else. it has to last them’s the rules! plus it’s my main treat of the week so i try and limit what i eat the rest of the week so i have a “stock” of spare calories for pigging out while my team loses .. might be a idea if the healthy stuff doesnt work out – and make sure you have nothing else in! IF it’s not in the house you can’t eat it :D

We love our chili, so I either get the Turkey kind, or make my own meatless – no gross meat substitutes, just lots of veggies, corn, beans, etc.

Baked Lays or Doritos
Air-popped popcorn
Prezels

We love our carbs! We have mineral water (aka, soda water) with lime – at the Mexican market they come in glass bottles and you can put your lime wedge in it to duplicate the beer experience!

Homemade Hummus:

chickpeas (rinsed)
chopped garlic (you can fry it up in a bit of olive oil if you want)
cumin (start with a teaspoon-tablespoon depending on how many cans of chickpeas you add, I do everything to taste so add more if you want)
salt to taste, if you must

…blend the shit of out it. If it’s too thick add little bits of water or olive oil until it’s the right consistency.

Also, Tyler, one thing:
SMILE MORE! In the “before” photos of you look so much happier than in the “after” photos…and, something tells me that’s not really the case. The photo of you in the change room is awesome. Add that one to your photos section. 

Happy football season.
