Not dead yet. 1 week after the end of the #BrewDiet

November 7, 2011

Tweet

 
It’s been a full week after the end of the #BrewDiet. You’ll recall that’s when I spent the month of October subsisting on sausage and beer. Yes, I’m serious. You’re probably wondering one of the following:
Have you fallen off the wagon yet?
What do you mean, yet? Dick. But no, I’m not. Just hopped off the [...]

Final exam results of the #BrewDiet

November 1, 2011

Tweet

Well… that was that. Yesterday was the final day of one month of drinking beer and eating sausage. I called it the #BrewDiet. And it was a grand time. And it was for SCIENCE!
Thanks to all of you who encouraged me along the way. Extra thanks to those of you who contributed by sending me [...]

Last (?) day of the #BrewDiet

October 31, 2011

Tweet

 
 
If you’ve been following me on Facebook or Twitter, you already know the score. I’m a very, very happy man.
If you’re not following me there, then you’ll have to wait for the final results. Because in this post, all I’m going to do is tell you about my intake. They call this “cliffhanging”. Deal. The [...]

Slow moving Sunday.

October 30, 2011

Tweet

 
Short day. Short post. Read about yesterday to find out why.

A chorizo burrito. Fantastic hangover food. When I got up at little after noon.
Around 3:00, a Vanilla Porter by Breckenridge Brewery
Then an IPA by Stone Brewing Co. at around 6:00

And I’m spent. Literally. Here’s to tomorrow. The last day (?) of the #BrewDiet.

Eye to the future of the #BrewDiet

October 26, 2011

Tweet

 
After today, there will be five more entries chronicling my month-long experiment of eating sausage and drinking beer. The end, as they say, is neigh.
At this point, it’s a foregone conclusion that I’ll finish. It’s not been challenging since October 6th. That was a Very Bad Day. But now, my body has completely adapted and [...]

“Your diet would never work for me”

October 25, 2011

Tweet

 
I’ve heard that a few times now. And it puzzles me. Sure, I know I’m a sample size of one. And because of that, I may be a statistical outlier. But if you know anything about stats, you know the odds say something different. Outliers are things you find in a large sample size. I [...]

Sausage + Beer = -2 lbs. of pure fat. Losing again!

October 24, 2011

Tweet

Monday is check-in day with the doc. It always makes me nervous, and this time was no exception. Largely because of the stupid amount of food I ate yesterday. But still, that was only one day, so only the scales will tell.
Oh, and what a sweet song they sang! The details:
Body Type: Standard Gender: Male [...]

Sunday, with sausage on the #BrewDiet!

October 23, 2011

Tweet

I ate way too much food today.
Headed to a late-morning meeting, my belly commanded a stop at Doggie-bertos. You had me at Chorizo Burrito!
Then we went to Citizen Public House again in Old Town Scottsdale. They’ve taken the Sausage of the Day off the menu, but were happy to adapt to my dietary restrictions with [...]

You, me, TV and the #BrewDiet

October 21, 2011

Tweet

Tonight I was interviewed by the lovely Carey Pena, investigative reporter and fantastic woman on 3TV here in Phoenix. She came to ShEvo Studios with Jeremy The Camera Guy and did a big photo shoot that will show up on the news in about 30 minutes. Yay! And just as soon as it’s available online, [...]

Death of a #BrewDieter

October 18, 2011

Tweet

No, it wasn’t a literal death. And no, it wasn’t me!
But tonight, I was saddened to see this tweet by fellow ex-#BrewDiet follower, Charlie the Beer Guy:

Charlie hit the wall later in the process than I. He also had arguably a much more difficult challenge. He’s in a profession rhymes with “rule leacher”, and they [...]

Of Sundays, sausage and beer

October 16, 2011

Tweet

It’s day 16 on my #BrewDiet. I’m more than half-way through the month. And I’m doing fantastic!
People keep asking me about the deleterious effects of a diet consisting of nothing but sausage and beer for an entire month. An in all honesty, there really haven’t been any. I do notice pretty severe dry mouth at [...]

Boundary Bay Brewing gets it right on a #BrewDiet

October 14, 2011

Tweet

Friday is always a good day on the #BrewDiet. This one was even better, as I only worked until about noon. Making up for that terrible long day on Wednesday that we’re just going to forget about, OK?
Major props to Boundary Bay Brewery. They hold the distinction of being the first and (as of yet) [...]

O’Beer:30 Thursday meets #BrewDiet

October 13, 2011

Tweet

Today was a good day to drink beer and eat sausage. All hail #BrewDiet!
Though it started out terrible. I’ve been up since 3:30AM. Yeah. That sucks. Couldn’t go back to sleep. So I got up and posted on A Simpler Way about Podcamp AZ. Though I won’t be talking (specifically) about beer, you should come. [...]

A monorchromatic #BrewDiet kind of day

October 12, 2011

Tweet

I just spent over 12 hours at work, after a two days of being “on” at conferences. Anything I might attribute to the #BrewDiet is equally explained by anger and animosity.
So I’m not good company. With that, here’s what I consumed today. I’ll shoot for “more chatty” tomorrow:

Late-ish breakfast was a Japanese Green Tea IPA [...]

Of smuggling sausages and beers

October 11, 2011

Tweet

Well that was interesting! As you know, my work is way-OK with me and the #BrewDiet. My day-job is in advertising, and our industry has a history of the three-martini lunch with clients. We don’t do that in 2011, but there’s no violation if I have a beer at lunch. And breakfast, it seems.
But today [...]

Does beer you make fat? Quite the contrary, data shows.

October 10, 2011

More great news from the doctor 10 days in on the #BrewDiet, where I subsist on nothing but1 sausage and beer for the month of October. Survey says…
Body Type: Standard Gender: Male Age: 43 Height: 5′10″ (though my license says 6′ even, because I am still a growing boy) Weight: 193.01 lbs (exactly the same [...]

I’ll see your Vienna Sausage and raise it a Tapatio on #BrewDiet

October 9, 2011

Tweet

I’m marking today’s #BrewDiet in the WIN column. Loads of things to do, and all of them done smashingly well, fueled on nothing but beer and sausage.
The highlight of the day had to be Ruth’s I-passed-the-bar celebration where her mom made me a special sausage dish… by opening up me a can of Vienna sausages! [...]

Return of the #BrewDieter

October 9, 2011

Tweet

Where was I? Oh yes, hitting the wall. Hard. Who would have thought there would be difficulty in a nothing-but-beer-and-sausage diet?
Oh, right… You people.
But that’s OK. My diet. My rules. I am by no means a masochist (sadism is another thing entirely), so a minor tweak to the diet has me back in the game [...]

Angry #BrewDiet Day 6

October 6, 2011

Tweet

To say my system is fucked up is among the greatest understatements in history. This is significantly harder than I ever thought it would be. Holy shit. I manage to keep it together fairly well during the day,  but my evenings are devolving. Big time.
But I’m continuing. Why? Well for starters, I’m a stubborn bastard. [...]

Beer + Coffee gets me through the day. Oh, and sausage.

October 5, 2011

Tweet

I did a slight change-up of order today, the 5th day of #BrewDiet, and that seemed to work better. Chugged some coffee early on, and the caffeine let me hold out until around 9:00 for my breakfast beer. Which was interesting, because there was a meeting called at that time. At least two of the [...]
