NFL. Weight Loss. Life. My attempt at blogging. Anything but the Yankees. Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely thrilled with the Giants being 3-2 and two strong wins, but there are a lot of crap teams in the NFL. Not crap as in “oh my god they’re awful”, but crap as in “really? You didn’t [...]

Huh? I don’t agree with, but I can at least understand, some of the logic behind calling for Tom Coughlin’s head. People are frustrated with on field product and it’s on Coach to make players play. Fine. Don’t think it’s Coach’s fault that there’s been some sloppy and unprofessional (ripping helmets off) play, but I [...]

or something like that. One of many good points that my weight watchers leader often makes. Wasn’t sure how/if that would apply in the case of this week’s gain because I’d been up and down over the course of the week. Well as of this evening’s scale hop (serial weigher, guilty as charged) after a [...]

I seem to be one of the few people wholly unsurprised by the change from Kolb to Michael Vick. In the week 1 loss to the Packers I mentioned (tweet 1, 2, 3 4and 5) that I didn’t see Kolb as the starting QB. A stopgap ala Leinart/Anderson, but not a franchise QB ala McNabb. [...]

What was that I said the other day about diminishing activity points?! MONSTER day today w 1487 calories burned, good for 14 APs. The thing is? I totally could have gone longer. It started after my Weight Watchers meeting this morning (up point 2, totally expected after some not great food choices this week and [...]

because really, I’ve killed a ton of brain cells on that this week, with no reward as of yet I’m so glad it’s football season, I just wish it was year-round. On the plus side, my gym is getting Direct TV which means NFL Network. WooHOO! Just like this summer where I began spending more [...]

I’m still bouncing over meeting Eli Manning this morning. Gatorade/GNC had an event for National Signing Day here in NYC and I went and lined up. Wasn’t as crazy as some who camped out over night but I stood for three hours in the sun. Can I get some add’l APs for that? I didn’t [...]

Well after yesterday’s loss, it’s well and truly the off season. The Giants playing well had helped ease the pain following the first Yankee team not to make playoffs since 1993. I still can’t switch gears to baseball yet, it’s too damn cold. Anyway, my thoughts on the Giants season are here: Part 1 |   [...]
