Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 1853907, member: 93"] Thanks. In fairness it's -25 since August 9th (but who's counting...). I just dropped the beer on Labor Day because I've been seeing a nutritionist/dietician and using the myfitnesspal app to track food and exercise, and when I reviewed it with her there was a comical exchange when she saw that I logged some 320 calories for a can of SoS: "300+ calories for a beer?!? What kind of beer is [B][I]that[/I][/B]?!?" It was like a coconut hit me on the head when I saw that a shot of Red Breast Irish Whiskey (a favorite of mine) is 65 calories. I also find myself feeling less able to drink much beer these days without feeling like crap, both that night and the next morning. Just doesn't sit that well in my stomach, especially the hop bombs we love. I'm a little more than half way to my goal, so I'm going to try and keep it going as long as I can. I mostly drink cider, wine and whiskey instead. So...I haven't sworn off beer by any means, but, like pizza and cheese--the other things I have a hard time controlling--I've decided that I will only make exceptions rarely, and then only for extraordinary products. On that note, a good friend just brought me a Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig from Russian River, so I will likely be breaking the seal again soon. [/QUOTE]
