CHAIN GANG

My daughter is a cheerleader at her high school. When there is a home football game, my wife and I attend to watch the cheerleaders (as well as the football game)   I do not know too much about football. I often watch as many as one game per year, The Super Bowl, and sometimes I don't even watch that game. My knowledge of football is slightly better than my knowledge of cricket. And yet, last evening I volunteered to be a member of the chain gang.

In gridiron football, the chain crew (commonly known as the "chain gang") is a crew that manages signal poles on one of the sidelines. The chain crew, under the direction of the head linesman, signals the officials' decisions; it does not make decisions. Players look to the chain crew to see the down number and the line to gain. Officials may rely on the chain crew after a play (incomplete pass or penalty) whose outcome depends on the original spot of the ball. (wikipedia)

After two days of logging 30000+ steps, I was convinced that I should take it easy on Friday. I had about 12000 steps when I casually walked over to the football stadium for the game. Right before kickoff, I had just under 20000 steps. During the entire game while I was on the chain crew I accumulated an additional 10000 steps as I was marching in place, when I wasn't marching up and down the field.

If every day were like today...   You'd weigh 240.6 lbs in 5 weeks

Weight loss is funny. Let me amend that. Losing weight can be frustrating.  My weight this morning, Saturday, was 255.8 lbs. I lost only one pound this week? I had expected better results. One result which has been sharp, has been my increased energy level. I just need to keep at it. And I will.
