How many lbs have you gain since you started home-brewing?

Anyone figured out a good work out routine to do while brewing? Say during the mash or boil?

I do sets of 12oz arm curls during the mash and boil. Be sure to do the same number of reps with both arms so your physique will be symmetrical.

This thread is depressing!!!!

I never intended for this thread to be serious. It totally went that way though.

Oh I do my 12 oz curls nightly! They always make me feel better.

Since I started I'm netting even. I'll go +5 in winter and - 5 in summer. 2 kids under 5 wreaks havoc on trying to work out. I'm lucky to get 5 hours of sleep per night, and I only have time to work out in the am. It has to be on an empty stomach, or else no want to vomit all over the place.

About 30 in ten years of brewing

I'm glad someone else feels my pain with the kids. I lov'em but 30 minutes a day to myself would be nice. I haven't quite found the time yet.

I will say, the kegerator totally saves me like 30 minutes to an hour a month just cutting out bottling. Probably more when you consider cleaning and sanitizing the bottles.

I have lost between 5-10 in about 2 yrs of brewing, beer has little to do with my weight, I eat healthy all day so my beer consumption brings me more towards a normal daily calorie count for a day.

I say this as someone with no children, but I'd think chasing little kids around the house for several hours a day would be considered legitimate exercise in its own right.

You right it is. In all honesty, the reason people with young kids gain weight is mostly due to over eating. You get so little sleep that you feel tired then you end up snacking a lot during the day. It doesn't matter how healthy your meals are. I'm a vegetarian and my wife is lactose intolerant so our diet is pretty much fruits and vegetables. She does bake some awesome bread though.

When my office moved to HQ, and my commute increased from 2.2 miles to 12, the extra time in the car to myself each day did WONDERS for my mental health!

This. It is totally true. But getting a little amount of sleep, and work stress along with high energy kids means I eat more. I drink less than I did before kids, and limit my alcohol consumption considerably because a hangover with screaming children is the worst day of your life. Its the quick to make crap food I eat, and snacks that do me in.

I third this. The only thing keeping me healthy is my wife doing lots of healthy cooking.
