Beer is evil and I love it.

Travel and vacations hurt. I can keep running and working out but eating out and a delicious IPA are the death of me. Obviously there are good choices on a restaurant menu most of the time and it's a matter if will. Vacationing in a new area allows me to sample local craft beers and I must indulge. It does cause slippage. Having reached my goal loss of 25 lbs a while ago, 8 lbs are back. And it's not just the number. I feel it and see it. Life must be lived in the moment. I just wish it took that long to tighten up again! Back on the wagon! I will not be denied! Argh.

    Enjoy it worry about it later just don't do it every day or work it in. I love my IPAs too and heavy hitters they are i just work it in.

    Beer is not evil. Lost over 100 while still drinking my beer just not as much or often.

    Log it and fit it in. Hit the hotel gym, go light on breakfast and lunch, etc.. It can be done!

    I add a beer into my diary first thing in the morning if i know i be going out to dinner. and i would rather have that beer than any desert any day. and it can hep stay on track with other things because it can be removed if i haven't had it yet, so it is at risk if i overindulge elsewhere

    Its CALLED the craft beer capital because we have over 100 breweries doesn't mean it actually is. Plus San Diego wins waaaaaay more awards then portland. I lived in Portland for a few years and the beer is better here. Although Deschutes Black Butte Porter will always be a favorite.

    I was living in Burlington, VT when I turned 21, and now I live in Austin, TX. I understand your 'there is craft beer everywhere and I want all of it' struggle.

    Sometimes I'll add one or two into my day, or I won't eat back workout calories for a day or two before going out for the night.

    Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

    Meh. Quality over quantity and Jersey beats all there.

    Awards blah.

    I love beer, but I worry about undermining my weight loss efforts with any alcohol. It's not just the empty calories, but the concern that it can prime the body to store more fat.

    Asheville is a GREAT beer town - but my favorite is touring around Vermont/NH/Maine. Nothing beats a fresh, New England style IPA like Heady or Sip of Sunshine.

    Craft beer isn't evil as long as you make room for the calories. I've made it work and enjoy craft beer about 3-4 times a week. :-)

    I guess a lot of places have awesome beers. I live in PA and most craft beers that I like are from Michigan or New England! Glad I'm not alone.
