This weekend I was very much in man-mode. The NFL playoffs had allot of my attention especially since my team, the Chicago Bears, were playing. Of the four games I was very pleased with the results in three of them; only the win by Green Bay wrinkled an otherwise perfect weekend.
Yesterday twitter was alive and a few of us regular blogger types mixed it up for a bit; Francis @hipcop, Simon @Cyclingsi, the uber Jet fan of Jet fans Kelly @kellyespitia, and a few others. Good time, especially since the Bears won! Then when the games were over and the tweets turned to whatever awards show was on, I faded into the back ground and bed was my destiny.
The picture up top there is from our cafeteria at work last week. Yes those are cupcakes decorated with Chicago Bears helmets. There were also cookies shaped like helmets & footballs tempting the fans. I abstained and instead chose cottage cheese to quell my hunger that morning...
This weekend I found time to tackle the elliptical each day before the football games grabbed my attention, see...
And I ate fairly well too. I say fairly as i did eat too much of good things at times. Here is a great Grilled Chicken Salad my wife whipped up just in time for the Bears game...
Ready or not it is Monday, have a great day, great week!

Sounds like a great weekend. Way to offset the time with the TV on the elliptical!
ReplyDeleteArrrgghh, Man Mode. Way to pass up the CC, even if they were for da Bears. Yummy looking chicken salad - my fav. Enjoy your happy and healthy week, Patrick. You are an inspiration, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteNothing says January than ellipticals and football! Great job on the food, too, it is a tough thing to avoid football food! Sorry I can't root for the Bears, I still have Sexy Rexy nightmares...I'll have to pull for my Sexy Sanchez since my Peyton is out. Yes, I did say 'my'. ;-)
