Strangely dumping most of the up from yesterday. It's nice to be back under 320 lbs (145 kg). Not a very productive day before work. I am working 3:30 to 10 this evening. But today before work I just didn't have the “get it done” to find anything to do. Another day when I'd blink and it's an hour or so later. I was low on bacon so I had to run to the store before I had breakfast. I had a half hour lunch again today so I brought my lunch with me as I didn't have time to go all of the way home and back for lunch. This is going to be a short post as I was the closing cashier this evening. I was checking...

    Today was the last day the roommate was in town and I had to pick him up from him dropping off the truck he was renting. He suggested that we go to Village Inn for breakfast. And all of the way from the rental place to the restaurant I was thinking I just need to order off of the Al Le Carte section of the menu. But when we got there I chickened out from ordering anything fancy. And it's been quite some time since I've had a chicken fried steak. The waitress asked me if I wanted pancakes or biscuits and gravy. And it's been a REALLY long time since I've had “Shit on a shingle” And those were really good buttermilk biscuits (still crappy hash-browns) so breakfast was not Keto, like at all. I was trying to explain this thought to my roommate, but I think he was misunderstanding what I was saying because he tried to agree that the quality of the food wasn't very good. I would say that it was mostly good quality food, just not very Ketogenic

    The Johnsonville sausages were kind of alright for a Keto lunch. I had lost track of time during the first half of my shift so I was kind of surprised when the lady from customer service asked me if I was going to lunch when I was stepping away to use the restroom. I noted that when I got up from eating lunch my legs felt stiff and painful. This didn't happen when I was doing good on Keto. There were days when they'd be like that when I first wake up in the morning. But after lunch was only when I was sitting down for 45 minutes or so.

    It was stomped busy all day long today. It was the first of the month and it seemed that everyone with SNAP were in the store to spend every cent that they were given. I was often reminded of a video I saw last week which featured a former lobbyist who used to work for Coca-cola and he said that about 40% of all soda sales were paid for by using food stamps. I did a bit of googling just now to try to verify that and I found out that 10% of all SNAP benefits are used on soda. And that is data straight from the USDA. That was a report from 2016  , but I can't imagine that it's gotten much better. If it were up to me I'd re-categorize a good number of foods as “Snack Foods” and not have them eligible for SNAP. I would personally have Food Stamps to be much closer to how WIC works. Maybe not quite as restrictive. But the FOOD STAMPS should only pay for FOOD

        Before work Roommate gave me some money to buy some hamburger patties and chips on the way home so that's why I had chips for dinner. Yeah, I'll blame all of my diet problems on him. It's a shame that I'm not a mature rational adult who could make his own decisions /sarcasm. He's back out on the road tomorrow so I'll have to find a new excuse after that.
