Weightwatchers

In a non-basketball related note, the degree of difficulty of this blogging experiment is enhanced by my Weightwatchers diet. Ordinarily, I would have eaten a Banana Republic's GDP worth of Cheetos or homemade nachos over the last two days. Not so currently.
For those not familiar with the concept, Weightwatchers gives you a set number of points (equivalent to about 50 calories) a day to utilize however you wish. Given my current size, I get 37 points a day. Theoretically I could skip breakfast and lunch, eat no snacks, then have a Grilled Stuffed Steak Burrito and regular Nachos from TBELL for dinner and wash that down with seven lights beers. I don't think this is what Bill Weightwatcher had in mind when he invented the diet, though. And yes, while I have taken the time to figure this out but no, have never done it.
Today, a doughnut at Ethan's "Doughnuts for Dads" day and a skinny vanilla latte on the way home leave me behind the eight ball. No chips this afternoon. A UK-UCLA quasi doubleheader tonight requires room for beer.
Thankfully, Percocet carries no points.

Does exercise give you any bonus points? I would think the constant typing might be worth a bonus point, and like 5 chips. And the only thing worse than Musberger announcing a game, is Musberger doing a game with Lavin. At times like that I turn the sound off and use the radio.

You do get points for exercise, but you can only "use" them on the day you do the exercise. That screws me, as I cannot play tennis or get on the treadmill at all for a week.
I agree about Musberger, but for some reason I don't mind Lavin. I am not sure why they have him calling the Big 10, though. At least he gets to hang with Erin.
