I weighed in today. I'm pretty happy with the result. I've lost 4.5 lbs in the past 2 weeks. Not bad. The first week I was getting ready to go to Boy Scout summer camp as an adult leader for my son's troop and wrap up a bunch of stuff at work. It was a stressful week. Stress is my downfall, and the cause of much of my binge eating. I did manage to lose a pound or two before heading off to camp a week ago Sunday. While I did a lot of walking around at Camp Manatoc, the food served is meant to replace the calories burned off by very active boys during very busy days. Sausage gravy and biscuits, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and razorback steak were just some of the calorie heavy foods served. I did watch my portions and skipped (most) desserts. Add on a graduation party and a couple of 4th of July BBQ's and I am very happy to have lost anything at all! So I guess I won't complain.
I did manage to have a couple of great beers this weekend. On Saturday night I shared a bottle of Hoppin' Frog Barrel Aged BORIS Royale that I had picked up at the bottle release back in May. I thought it was outstanding and some of the guys who tried it were Miller Lite drinkers but were very impressed with the beer and were asking a million questions about craft beer. I think I converted a couple of people that night!
On Sunday night I cracked open a bottle of Hoppin' Frog Barrel Aged Frosted Frog to celebrate Christmas in July. It was awesome and aged well. My friends were duly impressed that I would share it with them. But then again, what are friends for?
Based on comments from some of you, I'm hoping you will be joining me on my journey to lose weight!
Any suggestions for meals (especially on the grill) to help me keep up the momentum?
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.
