Hey guys & gals,
I've been wanting to ask about this for a while.
Long story : I was always in good shape as a kid, and most of my teen years, until I discovered beer at age 15-16 ... I managed to stay fit / thin during the next few years, despite drinking a lot of beer, until I turned 20. Seemingly overnight, I had a belly, and a 2nd chin. I stayed this way throughout my 20s until the about 26-27, when I started to pay attention, and stopped drinking altogether. The next 3 years (I am 30 now) I basically went on and off drinking beer and my weight and general fitness reflected this. I vowed to go into my 30s completely fit. I started to eat very well, (studied the subject at home) and managed to get into pretty good shape. Then, a few months ago I found this site and it re-ignited my passion for good beer. I started home brewing again and now I'm drinking beer every day, including at work (I own a welding shop). I gained 15 lbs in about 2 months, and have completely given up, and even stopped going to the gym.
I was wondering if anyone on here is into fitness, and is successfully balancing a love for beer / brewing with staying fit and lean. I DO NOT want to give up beer completely, and I really don't know if I want to limit myself to one beer every two weeks ... Do I really need to pick one?
