A rain-out of the walk home
Well, the walk to the game went exceedingly well. My wife and I agreed to get a ride home if we felt worn after the game. That really wasn’t much of an issue, as the 1.5 miles and about 40 minutes didn’t really wear us down at all.
However, rain and copious amounts of lightning forced as to call an audible (yeah, terrible, I know. It’s been a long weekend):) about the walk home. We took off at halftime (look, the Sooners were up 50-0, and it was pouring) and camped out under the parking garage before making a break for it. A fraternity brother of mine picked us up, and we drove home.
Still, a great day. I know that we can do the walk there and back without killing myself, which is something I couldn’t have done at this time last year. Secondly, I stayed on program and within my points limit (Weight Watchers works on a points system). I made appearances at both a pre-game and post-game party, and, while it wasn’t all carrot sticks and yogurt, I managed to limit myself to one pre-game beer and one corn dog at the stadium. Last season, it would have been 3-4 beers and some M&M’s and chicken fingers to wash down the corn dog.
So begins the new way of watching football. Better than the old, I think.
