It helped that I didn't have Twitter (I'm sorry “X”) on my phone. I couldn't find my tape-measure so I'm not 100% certain on my waist measurement, but I'm not going to guess that it changed much. My belly is feeling a bit tight, but that might be the Seltzer water that. I forgot that I wanted to wait until I was done at the Y to step on the scale. And when I first woke up I stepped on it and it said, 353.8 lbs (160.5 kg) That's 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg) up from yesterday. I tried to console myself with the idea of daily fluctuations and happiness isn't a number on the scale. That was a good motivator to go to the YMCA like I want to be doing. And when I got back from the Y

    Got the weigh in done this morning. Quite proud of myself that I got all 10 weigh ins and all the daily blogs done so far this year. I have more 2023 weigh ins done by the start of March than I did the entirety of 2022. If I keep it up, by the end of March I'll have more posts on here than I did all of last year.

    I came home from work for lunch. For the last several days I've been wanting to set up the slow cooker with a chuck roast that I bought a couple of weeks ago with a digital coupon. It was in the freezer for most of that time so it's still good. But I keep forgetting to set it up before I head back to work. What I didn't forget to do was pick up a pack of hot dogs on the way out of the store. I keep saying this, but I really need to leave my debit card at home. Energy shots, soda, hot dogs, spaghetti squash/sauce, just didn't need to be bought. Sure it was a heck of a lot more Ketogenic than the stuff I had almost bought, but I still have food at home. Food at home that needs to be eaten.

    After work I was kicking myself for not setting up the pot roast and thinking that I need something for dinner. And sure I have plenty of chicken in the freezer, but I didn't think about that. What did sound really good was some spaghetti. And even if I wasn't trying to follow the Keto diet, the way I make spaghetti really isn't healthy. (I usually eat about half the box of spaghetti in one sitting.) It took a lot of self control to not just say fudge it to the diet and try again some other day. But I settled on picking up what's known as a spaghetti squash. When this squash is baked the inside of the squash goes all stringy and a lot of Keto recipes use it in place of pasta. I say that the taste of the squash isn't bad. But the fibers of the vegetable just don't cook into the same consistency of spaghetti. They're quite crispy (lack of a better term) When I mixed the squash into the sauce it kind of disappeared. It wasn't like eating the spaghetti like I was craving. But the taste of the garlicky tomatoes settled that craving.
