On football, BFL, and life ...

"The game of life
is a lot like football.
You have to tackle your problems,
block your fears, and score your
points when you get the opportunity."
-- Lewis Grizzard (1946-1994)
American Humorist and Author


... If you're a football fan, this is a great time of year. But do take care when tempted to over-indulge on nachos, chicken wings, pizza, and beer. Yesterday was my FREE DAY but I limited myself to roughly half of what I use to eat while watching the STEELERS kick butt.

... When you think about it, Lewis Grizzard -- weak/softhearted humorist that he was -- could have been describing the BFL program above.

Tackle your problems = overcoming obstacles so that you don't miss a meal or workout.

Block your fears = Crossing that abyss.

Score your points = Hitting your 10s (high points) daily.

Believe, achieve, inspire.

John,

Yesterday's Free Day was modest for me too, to say the least. It wasn't that hard, somewhat satisfying, and when I did eat chips and salsa at the end of the day watching a movie, it didn't feel right. The payoff came this morning when I got on the gym scale and had a mere 0.25 lbs above Friday's reading. A far cry from the 3 lbs I used to gain during previous challenges' free days.
