personal foul...
my body hurts. did anyone else just snack all day or was it just me?
in true superbowl style, it's not whether you win or lose...it's how you snack. right?
i bet this is the official day people give up on their new year's resolution to lose weight, because i was close to giving in.
have you ever wondered WHY the big sponsors are frito-lay, coke, and planters? because all we do is EAT. it's not about football...it's a secret conspiracy to get us all fat and addicted to their products. did you see the planters uni-brow commercial? it was cute. i snacked the night away, eating a bunch of unhealthy food. i never saw a commercial for a vegetable tray or anything unprocessed for that matter. no, not one.
i ate my fair share of snacks, but look at these statistics:
americans will eat 30 million pounds of snacks on the big game day. that breaks down to 11.3 million pounds of potato chips, 8.5 million pounds of tortilla chips, 4.1 million pounds of pretzels, 3.8 million pounds of popcorn and 2.7 million pounds of nuts. the average armchair quarterback will consume 1200 calories and 50 grams of fat from snacking and that doesn't even count any meals!
after fasting till 4:30 we went to a superbowl snacking party, not that i am a football fan or anything, and all i ate was junk. chocolate covered raisins (1/8 cup), honey roasted peanuts (1/4 cup), meatballs (6), little smokies (6), lots of vegetable salsa and tons of chips (about 4 big handfuls) plus some baked doritios (6), i had to support the advertisers some way.
only 60 ounces of water today.
no exercise
