I'm doing okay

After some back issues I have started working my way back into exercise!  I did 30 minutes yesterday- and I have been watching what I eat as well.  However, today- I feel like a slug- so, not too sure what's up with that.  Hope everyone out there is doing well!

Watching the Biggest Loser!

BEER: NEW ARRIVALS

WET...STICKY...PUNGENT...HOPS!

Today, I recieved not one, but TWO fresh hop ales!

1. Port Brewing High Tide Wet Hop IPA
2. Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale

The Harvest 08 is one of the best hoppy beers is the best yet in the Harvest series. Its light piney hop character and surprisingly malty backbone form a serendipitous balance. I think my bottle lasted about 5 minutes.

OTHER NEW ARRIVALS:

1. Lost Abbey Avant Garde Ale
2. Port Brewing Wipe Out IPA
3. Port Brewing Santa's Little Helper (at brewer's request, not for sale until October 15. No need to reserve, I've got loads;)

It's been a while

I have been slacking in the dept. of keeping up with this blog.  I'm trying to watch what I eat and have good days and bad days.  However, I try to shake off the bad days and start fresh the next day.  I'm trying to keep myself more accountable- in the food dep. and the exercise dep.   Right about the time I was getting ready to go back to the gym, my back went out.  I wasn't allowed/released to exercise for over a week.  And, since then I haven't had time.  I know a lot of people make that excuse and it really shouldn't be one.  I am struggling with prioritizing my time- especially in this area which I know is so very important!  I'll work on it- I promise!  I am going to be very detailed in this because I have to type it up to give to someone and it's just easier to put it in one place!

Breakfast:

1 low carb- 100% whole wheat tortilla- 70 calories, 7 g total carbs, 3 g fiber

1 TBS peanut butter- 95 calories, 3.5 g total carbs, 1 g fiber (this is half a serving- which I had the other half later)

1 SB cereal bar (I don't get any time for a snack between 7 and my lunch at 11)-

Lunch:

Grilled chicken salad with lettuce, spinach (I think- usually it does), half a hard-boiled egg, broccoli, cheese, 3 TBS Ranch dressing, grilled chicken, cucumbers (usually).  It's a decent sized salad

s-f jello

10 mini carrots

Snack- SB snack bar (at 2:00)

Snack- 17 100% whole wheat wheat thin crackers and 2 oz. of 2% colby jack cheese (around 4:30)

Dinner: 

grilled chicken patty/filet from McD's-no bread, condiments, JUST the chicken.  My SB dining guide states that at their press time it had 180 calories, 7 g fat, 2 g carbs, 0 g fiber

Fruit and Walnut salad with no nuts- SB dining guide states- 170 calories, 1 g fat, 38 g carbs, 4 g fiber

snack after church- SF pudding, 1 TBS peanut butter (same stats as above)

Water- 24 oz. before 7:30, another 20 oz. by 11, 12 oz., plus 20 oz. plus the 12 oz. I'm drinking right now.  I think that's it.  I also had a 20 oz. diet mountain dew and about another 20 oz. of diet mtn. dew.  

Starting on Thursday I'll try to keep up with it as I eat!

BEER: HITACHINO GINGER/DAMNATION JERABOAMS

BEER UPDATE!

We have just recieved 8 cases of HITACHINO NEST GINGER in 12 oz. bottles. There's not alot of it around, so if you're looking for Hitachino, Healthy Spirits is the place to go. We currently stock every Hitachino beer available, and will continue to bring them in as they show up.

ALSO:

RUSSIAN RIVER DAMNATION in JEROBOAMS (3L)!!!
We are going to try to keep these in consistently, but they are not always available. At the moment, we have a few on hand. If you are interested, the best thing to do is call and reserve one.

Cheers!
