Yep. Total BS. So, about those two BCBS bottles I am sending you.....
That only happened at one bottle shop. All the others were good about not making me buy any other goose island product since I leave half my check there.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Another from St. Peters. Not sure how they manage to do this consistently, but green glass and only ever so slightly skunked, light enough to easily see past it. It's no Coniston (which seems to have disappeared again, I need to rebrew my clone with a sub yeast or something, or maybe find one bottle somewhere and harvest from that), but it's good enough.

I'm celebrating my boy's ninth birthday with my first bcbs. That's how it's done, right?

 

[geoffey]

Water. I recently started working with a personal trainer and today he lays the Bomb on me that he wants me to give up beer 6 days a week. I just laughed.

On another note, BA Darkness hit the shelves this week. There's very very little of it. I literally was two minutes to late at two different shops. I was completely bummed. Then I get a voicemail from another shop I visited last week. I had put my name down for BCBS there on Monday. They tell me they have my bottle of BCBS waiting, ... Oh and also we are holding a bottle of the new BA Surly Darkness.

Yeah, I'll be spending my money there again in the future that was freaking first class and totally unexpected.

Beer is calories, no denying that. Just means that if you don't want to cut beer, you have to cut elsewhere, or work harder. I opt to work harder.

They were gone the same day they released the bottles of Fundamental observation.

Since you have to cut back on drinking. I will gladly Help you out by taking that BA Darkness.

That's my long term plan, for certain. But short term I have at least 30 more lbs to shed, so I'll compromise with him and cut back majorly on the drinking for a couple months.

Only drinking this because I buy a 30 pack every few days.

Ehh... Grilling stops at negative temps and 2' of snow. I shovel the patio before the sidewalk and driveway.

These. May be smacked already. No splash needed in the second bottle.

Or... Add 5 mile runs 3 days a week.

Should have cellared some of the limited release... Oh well, I have no self-control.

Hah. I've dropped ~40 lbs and have kinda plateaued there again, but still dropping inches and packing on muscle. I don't know if I'll even hit my weight target (75 more lbs to go, but as one of my mates put it, by the time I drop enough fat "I'll look like f***ing Schwarzenegger"). I've dialed back on beer slightly, and do sporadic (every other week-ish) dry weeks. But instead of 2-3 beers per night on average, I'm more like 1 per night, on average. Instead I eat like a rabbit most of the time, except for whey protein, which I consume a significant amount.

So instead I opt for 1-2 hours of hard exercise 5-6 nights per week.

Or... Add 5 mile runs 3 days a week.

F*** running. I'm fine with 1 dedicated cardio day a week, no more. Granted I'll do that on the treadmill sometimes (but I run and walk in intervals at a pretty steep incline). But I've found power workouts (clean and jerk, thrusters, KB swings, etc) and HIIT circuits to be much more effective.

Or deadlifts. Deadlifts are fun.

Although I suppose if I want to to back to playing football (which is my eventual goal here) then I should get back into running, because I'll need it.

OT Robinson's The Trooper. For how not impressed I was the first time I tried it (very stale), I've grown to really like this beer. This one is a little more stale. Doesn't bode well for the other 3 cans in the pack.

I like lifting, but find running.... fun. Not really. I hate running, have had two surgeries on my knee, and am in PT for a torn ankle ligament. but.. I love the post run high. Ellipticals suck.

They're boring, but that's what the Netflix app is for. And I've taken to the Arc Trainer. Some weird combo of a stair stepper and eliptical, but it beats your ass.

My wife does a lot more cardio (3-4 dedicated days a week) with cardio and circuit training the other two. She mocks me for turning into a curlbro because I've very much taken to:

I keep passing that over for other stuff. I assume that's a dumb move but I'm cheap. Now that I've cut down significantly, I might work it in.

You'd be much better off if you did a dedicated cutting phase. Hit the cardio hard for a few weeks and cut back on everything. Then lift hard for a few weeks, etc. Keep the intake the same and you'll be shedding pounds like nothing.

You can't poo-poo cardio if you need to drop that much. Unless you want to lose 75 lbs over the next couple of years or cut back to like 1500 cal/day.

The issue for me isn't the boredom, it is the weird way my knees and hips are put together. I run duck footed; ellipiticals hurt me... bad. Running, just hurts.

It's none too bad, I thought I had brought one up from the cellar but I checked, it was from the 4pack I bought on sale, must of been old, might need to see if they have any more old stock

Ha! The Old Rasputin 4 pack that's been on the shelf at my store forever is almost 2 years old. I'll buy it someday.
