\"Avery<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday was a funday for Scott and I, we took a day trip down to Boulder for some beer and food. \u00a0Having a dog with severe separation anxiety means that we don’t get to travel or do a whole lot. \u00a0Our compromise in this situation is to have someone come and sit with the dogs for the day while we get a blissful few hours to ourselves.<\/p>\n

Yes, we have to get a sitter for our dogs.<\/p>\n

When we do get to go out, we make the most of it. \u00a0One of our favorite breweries was having a bottle release that day so we decided to make a day of it in Boulder.<\/p>\n

We arrived at Avery<\/a> early and I was sipping on some barrel aged Czar before noon. \u00a0I have no problem with this situation.<\/p>\n

After Avery we visited another brewery and then it was off to find some dinner.<\/p>\n

\"Backcountry<\/a><\/p>\n

We aren’t that fond of the pizza options in Fort Collins so we decided to get some good pizza while\u00a0in Boulder. \u00a0Backcountry pizza<\/a> offers up tasty budget friendly pies along with a pretty great taplist.<\/p>\n

I nommed on some supreme pizza and sipped on a Wooky Jack.<\/p>\n

And yes this is still a blog all about eating well and living well.<\/p>\n

But it’s also a blog about embracing life and not being a afraid to live it.<\/p>\n

Do I feel like I (GASP!), indulged? \u00a0No. \u00a0I’m not a big fan of using words that implies someone should feel guilty or regret their eating choices.\u00a0 I hate that as a society we have to label food choices as something “clean” or something “indulgent”.<\/p>\n

I’m not having any of that nonsense. \u00a0Just eat the damn food.<\/p>\n

Eating shouldn’t be difficult or a challenge. However, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t think mindfully about what we choose to eat.<\/p>\n

My philosophy is eat whatever you want, just make it the best that you can get. \u00a0Meaning, if you want a burger spend that money on a nice grassfed burger instead of something that comes out of a drive-thru window.<\/p>\n

It’s always all about choices and our goal should be to make the best choice that we can make and not whether we feel like being “good” or “indulging”.<\/p>\n

Sunday was like my perfect day, great beer and good cheesy pizza. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
