Gadzooks - I think I have the Answer!!

I have finally solved the problem that has plagued us for years - Why is it that we tend to gain weight in the cooler months and lose weight in the warmer months? I know those scientist people will try to tell you its a hold over from Mother Nature and the desire to hibernate, but they are full of it. I have finally figured the answer out. I have always been puzzled over why it tend to have trouble with my clothes fitting in the fall and winter (too tight) and a little trouble in the spring and summer (too lose) - and for me - someone who tries to stay in shape and eat right this was a real problem! Not any more - its TV!!! Yes- I said it TV. I am putting the blame squarely on the shoulders where it belongs - on TV.

Think about it - here we are and it's fall again, and what has happened? It's new season time. Grey's Anatomy is back - better than ever. Heroes is back where everything is getting turned all around - evil villains are becoming good and good characters are going bad. Then you have Private Practice where some steam is rising. You even have Chuck - who comes in and wins one or two for the geeks squads!! Then you have these new ones that you have to test out - Mentalist? Is it going to work? Don't know yet... Night Rider...not again, please! Life....maybe another season. Then you have the reality shows....America's Got Talent...the opera guy? Come on - a million dollars? Dancing with Stars...I revolt until the old lady goes! And then what about old favorites on off channels like House - the personality master? Then you have HBO coming with the True Blood Series who would have thought vampires in a small town would have been interesting? Then..as if if that's not enough - you have things like Political Debates to watch.

So as you can clearly see it is the fault of TV that I can't get to the gym as often as I should. It is the fault of TV that I am sitting down having a snack in front of it with my kids watching instead of out running a few miles. I've thought about this long and hard. You see - in the spring what happens...RE-RUNS!!! Nothing is on TV to watch so the gym and outside is a great place to be because nothing is on TV anyway.

So I have come to the conclusion that the few extra pounds I carry in the winter months can clearly be blamed on TV - I think I have a good case here - don't you?
