Four bottles of beer on the wall and why I can't move

Well, unbelievably, the first month of 2012 is coming to a close. I can only imagine that this year is going to go by as quickly as the last. And now I officially sound like an old person!

When I said that I would be taking a class this year, I was imagining fun things like learning to shoot a gun, cooking, etc. And there is definitely still time for those things, but for the month of January, my class was a personal training class.

A friend told me about a personal trainer who works out of his home and is very reasonably priced, so I decided to sign up for a session with Nick. Beforehand, I warned Nick that I am incredibly out of shape.

I did some warming up on the elliptical machine and then got busy doing squats, lunges and weight exercises. “You certainly didn’t give yourself enough credit,” said Nick. I was only able to grunt a response.

For a half hour, he worked me over. Today, I can barely move. But hey, it was a new, bloggable experience and will hopefully help me improve my health and finally reach some of my weight loss goals. I’m down significantly, but struggling to lose anymore.

Now, on to the more important resolution of 2012: Trying new beer. Earlier this month, I visited Taco Mac to try new beers and watch some football.

Here is what I tried so far:

Abita Purple Haze, Fruit/Herbed/Spice Beer

North Coast Pranqster, Belgian Pale

Wild Blue, Fruit/Herbed/Spice Beer

Woodchuck Pear, Cider

I would have to say the Wild Blue was my favorite. It was delicious! It tasted like berries and brew, two of my favorite combinations. Do you have any beers you think I should try?
