So the timing of starting my journey is gonna be interesting. I'm off to Boy Scout Summer Camp at Camp Manatoc. I'm hoping I can take advantage of the fresh air, and lots of walking around and camp food to kick start my weight loss. Two problems, no craft beer and no computer. Wish me luck and I will post the results of my week when I return.
What do you do to kick start an exercise or weight loss routine?
I love craft beer, and I want to lose weight. I want to lose the weight and not give up the craft beer. Impossible? No! Improbable? Maybe. Through this blog, and in my interaction and support from all of you, I hope to succeed.

About this blog
Today is June 25th and I turn 49 1/2 today. Honestly, I'm not all that bothered by the fact that I am almost 50. What bothers me is that when I look in the mirror, I'm not happy with the "beer belly" that I have acquired over the years. The extra weight I am carrying around does not look good, and is not healthy. I know this can and will most likely impact my health as I get older. It's time for a change. And the time is now.
The original title of this blog was going to be something about being 50 and losing 50 but I could never come up with a catchy title. I was drinking some beers with my friend Brad and discussing my ideas for the blog, and he suggested tying in my love of craft beer along with my journey to lose the 50 lbs. Craft Beer Loser was born!
Drinking good beer and losing weight should not be mutually exclusive. Drinking locally brewed beer, which utilize only the very best ingredients, should not be a bad thing!
So off on this journey I go, documenting for myself and whoever is crazy enough to read my adventures as I lose weight while drinking great craft beer!

Prologue
Today I was at the hospital getting a sonogram to see if I have kidney stones again...as I lay there on the table, I pondered the fact that my belly probably reminded the technician of a pregnant women's (albeit a quite hairy women) in her second trimester....I think I need a beer....
