Now here's something I actually will buy again.. Nice job paradox on making a tasty #7
 
I’m considering giving up beer for lent this year (heresy, I know). I could use to lose a few pounds and I know that beer is probably the reason. (Multi Hopslams on a Tuesday might not help.). Unfortunately I already told the wife that I’m considering it, so I’m basically locked in now. Tell me it’s not that bad!!!

It hasn’t been that bad actually. During the week we are so busy with work, errands, kids, etc. that there isn’t a lot of downtime to think about all the great things you’re depriving yourself of. On the weekends it gets tough since there is more time to kill. Sitting on the couch at 9pm on Friday last week was torture without a beer.

I try to curb cravings by drinking water or tea and trying to do something that stimulates my brain so it stops thinking about beer.

You could do it though! It will build “character”.

The carb cravings are a killer for me especially after 12hr shifts. I re-started Martial arts in my mid-40s just so I wouldn't be home on the evenings..as you said, helps to keep busy. Got down to my target weight of 205lbs in 3 months (lost 30lbs). But then overtime hit, then multiple injuries, also car and house issues which needed my attention and suddenly becoming parents to our grandkids all kinda became overwhelming. Other's say I'm building character. I say Fuuck it, I'm having a beer! Beside, you never know, Yosemite could blow tomorrow!

Coffee and milk with waffles/peanut butter.

LondonPride and ESB again. In the middle of a snowstorm. Well, it is not extremely windy but it seems that there will be a lot of snow tomorrow.

trying to finish tiling this shower. While enjoying @TBC exp cider. Very good. If u said there was Brett in here I would believe it. Almost a barnyard funk that is really nice.
 
This beer is a long way from home, but it makes a pretty good end of a long hot tropical a day beer here in Panamá.
