Amdhiel Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Awesome job running outside in unpleasent weather.

wykcira1 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I like your challenge. I have been working on keeping my beer intake down overall. Why does so much of it have to be so good? I started buying my beer at a specialty shop instead of the case store. Pennsylvania is a pain about booze. So I started buying single bottles of a beer rather than a 6er or case. Then I still got to drink it but I wasn't waist deep in beer. It helped removed a lot of the temptation. I always seemed to order one more in a bar. Go figure?
