Didn’t lose a bet. It was my wife’s fitness instructor’s idea for her class that my wife is in. I agreed to partake to support my wife during it. I stay in decent shape regardless and have managed to maintain the same weight for almost 10 years now. But this “shred” has me down to a weight I haven’t seen since I was in my early 20s and this has been the longest stretch I’ve gone without alcohol since high school! God do I miss beer though! Sunday at midnight I’ll be pouring myself a pint to celebrate! Just don’t know what yet...ideas?

If there's a local bottle I can send for the cause. I'll pay it forward one.

Go light beer. Anything heavy will probably not go well.
Where is Remmy these days? Is he ok?
He disappears from time to time..probably on a cleanse! [emoji39]
 
On day 16 of a 21 day “shred” cleanse/diet. No booze allowed during it! [emoji30]LOTS of water and protein shakes. [emoji1377]

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!!!
 
She informed me that she thought the sign said $12.99, so maybe the cashier screwed up. (She showed me the receipt and it definitely says $9.99.). Still sounds like I’m heading back tomorrow.
Damn. That's cheap compared to what it costs around WNY.

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.
