Making it to Friday.....

Fuck that; I drink beer almost every night. Amen.

 

I'm a runner too, and eat and drink with some measure of health consciousness, as well. But, I generally drink the same amount on weeknights as on weekends—one, maybe two beers, or a beer and a glass of wine. Most of the year it's just one beer a night, six or seven days a week, and maybe two or three every once in a while.

Nice to know there are some other runners around! Honestly I wonder sometimes if I'm just the odd guy out when everyone else on LNBA's working through sixers or drinking two or three bombers in a night. I can't do that shit. But that said, I am PERFECTLY happy with the amount that I do(n't) drink.

 

You are not alone. I try to limit during the week drinking. I recently bought a case of two week old Flower Power. Probably more than I can drink in a reasonable amount of time. But given how hard it is to get fresh IPA in general, I couldnt resist. But this stuff falls of quick, I feel every night i should be drinking some, but resisting it. But tomorrow night the floodgates will open.

 

No waiting for me. I have one or two everyday of the week. On the weekend (Thursday - Sunday) it is usually more

 

I'm a runner - taking a forced break right now - and was running about 50+ miles per week at this time last year. I was doing daily workouts on my own as well as coaching indoor track (xc in the fall, indoor in the winter, outdoor in the summer). I tended to drink 2-3 beers a day at that time, as well. While probably not the healthiest choice, I needed to supplement my caloric intake, and I chose beer to be that supplement. Now I'm on a break and I still have 1-2 a day, but I definitely feel sluggish. I need to heal and I need to cut back.

 

THIS...but, lately I've been thinking more and more about giving up on my healthy lifestyle, I'm gonna die anyway...

 

i dont really drink anything during the week anymore so this is typically what i do, although i'll usually do my shopping on fridays or over the weekend.

 

Haha!

I struggle - try and wait to BINGE ( the healthiest way ) on the weekend. My workout motivation is affected greatly if I drink during the week so I try and stay clean.

 

In on that at least one beer a night club...cant remember a day I didnt have at least one. Friday and saturday though...my inner recent college grade mentality comes out and I lose track.

Getting back into working out and running on a more serious note, so lets see if I tone it down the next few months.

 

Yes. I try to keep to to Fri-Sun nights and the occasional Mon night(gaming night with friends), mostly due to calories since I am workout fiend.

There are weeks though where work gets me and I crack a couple during the week.

 

I tend to have a beer or two during the weekday evenings but I also run in the morning, so I guess both actions kind of cancel each other out. On the weekends, it's pretty rare that I have more than three beers in one sitting, unless I'm with friends. I also tend to save bombers for the weekend. On the health note, having a beer a day could prove to be beneficial. Check out this article: http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/10-surprising-health-benefits-beer

 

I'll do this sporadically when I want to cut some weight. Currently I'm in one of those cycles. A single beer on Friday nights is all I'm consuming before going to Florida in March for Hunahpu's day. That way I can strut confidently on the beach and work on my tan. I equate it to food. Sure it's fun to be glutinous for the holidays, but making a lifestyle out of being a fatass just isn't for me. As for sticking to it I don't really have a hard time.

 

Too many beers on my want list to wait for the weekend.

 

Yup, its hard.

 

Having a beer during the week is a real treat. Going out for a couple beers is even better and makes the week feel like it goes by faster.

 

Friday?!? I just have trouble making it to 6:00 weeknights.

 

12oz beers M-Th
Friday its go time. Either 750 or a great 22oz.

Cheers!

 

Personally, it's more like making it to Wednesday

 

I am a drinker and find that running gives me less time to drink.

 

Thursday is my make it to day and when my weekend starts.
