Day 28...Rest. Danger ahead...

Sunday Funday coincides with my P90x rest day. This particular Sunday Funday happened to coincide with the Super Bowl.

Now Super Bowl Sunday to me has turned into somewhat of a Holiday in itself. That said, the "Holiday Season" really spans from late November to Early February. That's a lot of time to max out those belt holes.

It also creates dangerous waters for certain New Years Resolutions, primarily resolutions that have to do with dieting or gambling. While from the get go I declared Sunday would be my "cheat day" I never intended for it to be my "blow out" day. Trust me, as much as I would love to sit around and dip corn dogs in nacho cheese all day, my "cheat" is pretty much a handful of Bud Lights, Hot Wings and Chips.

But this Sunday was to be a little different. My sister organized a pretty damn legit Chili Cook off and I was lucky enough to be tapped as a judge. There were five chillies (sp?) so I automatically had my share of that. (By the way, you should ask Brando for his Seafood Sausage Chile recipe). Outside of the chili, there was a pretty impressive spread of snacks, dips, deserts, cocktails, and finger-foods which were hard to let alone.

Always one to make you feel better about yourself, Brando told me that since I had been eating so well for the last month, my body would reject the junk food and it wouldn't stick to the ribs as I feared. I think there was something to that because after my morning business today, I pretty much floated out the front door like the day before never happened.

So I survived the Super Bowl, and while there was a little more cheating going on that normal, in the end I did not blow it out and derail my program.

And that's that.
