So, my favorite time of year is coming but it is my worst for weight loss. My home life completely changes for football season. Saturdays, clean til noon, then college football. Sundays, I wake up, go to church early, get home and pre game goes on the television. I make wings, and potato skins, chips and finger foods like that through out the day because I RARELY cook on football Sunday's. Monday night, quick, usually unhealthy meal before Monday night football. Yes I am addicted to football. I can cook dinner in the slow cooker, that part is solved. Any ideas, besides a veggie tray, to switch it up a lil at the coffee table during football

This is a very real concern for me too. We eat through football season. Every weekend there is something. And last year I tried to make things like healthy nachos, healthy potato skins, etc... and honestly, it wasn't great. It's hard to control when you are drinking beer all day.
I am going to have to carry a vegetable platter with me every where I go.

I love the way you talk! I too am a football fanatic and CANNOT wait for the season to begin... both college and NFL! I am a Utah Utes fan and a San Diego Charger fan! Love them! My husband tells me I have a sick obsession! lol I live for football! I sport my jerseys and gear year round too! I try hard not to mix football with eating though. It's a bad habit! lol

I live, eat, sleep, and breathe football!!! Tailgaiting is going to be soooooooo hard this year. I guess there will be a lot of chicken breasts and veggie trays in my future. The beers I just can't give up.

Due to being pregnant thru the football season, drinking beer and mixed drinks will NOT be a problem for me... ugly food cravings however could be disastrous! lmao

Maybe you should line up your priorities in life. Health is more important than football. |

Make pita's and turkey roll-ups. Leave the feast in the kitchen and not fanned out in front of you all day.

Just a bit ahead of yourself aren't you? Although I will visit Giants Training Camp this summer like I do every summer in Albany.
I make a point to lift every sunday morning, try to cut back on the junk food and make healther things on my smoker... but the beer is where I fall apart. I can't say no to some new microbrew 6 pack... or two
