I have a keggerator and a treadmill I need friends

Options
Hello I am Patrick from Denver Colorado I just thought I would start seeing what happens if I started working out again. I lost 30 pounds a year ago stopped working out because my Dad got cancer and passed away and I just lost interest. I was down to 202 from 235 and I am back up to 210 after about 10 months of not working out or really watching what I was Eating.I got a kegger and a treadmill the past month the keggerator was free and I do love it so no I wont get rid of it. I have been working out everyday before I go to work for 30 mins of jogging on the treadmill and it feels great. I only drink 1 to 1.5 beers everyday out of the kegger and will watch what I eat from now on. I think you can still be healthy and drink after all you only live once so you have to make the most of your life. Thanks for reading my post

    Haha, of course you've got a kegger, you live in Colorado! We can't help that the beer here is so epic. It begs to be drunken. 30 minutes of jogging every day is great though, easily takes care of a beer or two. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but great job getting back on track after that.

    When i saw the title to your post it made me thing of a cancer fund raising event the cross country team does every years at the university I went to -- its called the "Run, Chug & Puke" the first thing that popped into my head was, "Gee, I wonder if he's training for that?"

    I love my white merlot (red wine) will not give that up and do not believe you have to, just work out more or eat less and enjoy the beer :)

    It seems like the main reason I exercise (at least cardio) is for beer--I always put my anticipated beer calories in first thing in the morning. Btw, sorry for your loss,.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Add me as a friend if you like - I've only been here 3 weeks, and support is always appreciated.
    Way to go on your 30 minutes of jogging a day - that's awesome!

    Patch, I just got back from Denver on a trip. What a great city! Sorry to hear about your Dad. Stress and a loss like that can do a number on you.

    I'm ramping up slowly to my old activity levels, but I was more a biker, and hope to be back at daily rides as well. Invite coming your way.

    Rolling Rock? Really? Come on, they don't even brew it in Latrobe anymore so it doesn't taste the same.... Its all good though, I can look past this one character flaw.

    I too drink 1 to 1.5 beers most days and have also started running/walking on my treadmill again after a long break. I keep trying to find the balance
