Super Bowl Sunday motd

[Guest guest]

SUPER BOWL! (OF

CHIPS & DIP)

Sunday, 05 February 2012

Nope, I won't be sitting down this evening to

take in the big Super Bowl game. Hey, I did all of

the quaterbacking I needed during our super Sweatin' class

at Slimmons yesterday! And believe me, the way some

of my students move in class, we could run that

football down the field and leave some of those NFL

players back in the dust! Grrrrr!

We're tough!

It's Super Bowl Sunday in

America.

Oh yes, it's Super Bowl Sunday in America. A lot of

you ladies out there aren't big football fans but you

may be married to a man who is. All over America, the

guys will be getting together for their big Super Bowl

parties. Is there one going on at your house? And

hasyour guy drafted you to help with

preparing all of that food? He has? Oh, oh!

Well, if you're in that situation, I want you to put

on your

own helmet. Not

to block another player but to block those

calories, thank

you! Get this.

Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest food

consumption day of the year in America. I couldn't

believe it but that information comes from the United

States Department of Agriculture. The USDA says Super

Bowl Sunday is second only to Thanksgiving in the

amount of one-day food & calorie consumption per

person in this country. Wow! That means it

even beats out Christmas.

Americans may consume up to2000

calories in

the three hours of watching today's big game.

But wait. Don't leave your seat. Here's some even

more astounding news about how much food men and women,

(I'm sure), will end up eating today. In a typical

day, the average American consumes about 2,000

calories. But while the big game is on this evening,

the same American may consume that number of

calories...in just those three hours of watching

football! Let me say that again, 2000

calories consumed in just three hours. (Boy, I knew I

should have bought that stock in Alka-Seltzer last

week! LOL.)

Oh my goodness, there'll be Buffalo chicken wings,

bowls of chips and dip, jars of roasted nuts,

deep-fried chicken nuggets and we haven't even talked

about how much alcohol will be

consumed today! And the bad thing about is all of

that eating, combined with alcohol consumption, only

ends up making you want to eat more food!

If there's a Super Bowl

party at your house this evening, please be careful.

If there's a Super Bowl party at your house this

evening, please be careful. In fact, if you're not a

football fan, it might be a good idea to take in a

movie, have a girls night out or do anything else to

get you away from all of that food. Just choose an

activity that doesn't put some other foods in your

face.

I know all of you in New York City and Boston are

pulling for your hometown teams. I hope your husbands

and boyfriends have fun watching the big game

tonight. And if you're looking forward to watching

the game yourself, then fine. You have fun, too.

Just be sure and watch those calories while you're

cheering on your favorite team.

Hey, the only touchdown I want you to score

is seeing those numbers "touching-down" on your scales

next week!

Love,
