I was thinking that the scale was glitching again. But it gave a consistent number over the several times I stepped on it. I didn't do much before work again today. I've just been having a hard time gauging the passage of time. I was sitting here at the computer playing with the spending spreadsheet and weigh in spreadsheets thinking, “oh, it's coming up on 10:30 I should probably get ready for work. OH CRAP IT'S 10:30 I NEED TO GET READY FOR WORK!” The rent check still hasn't gone through. But at least it's now in a time that I have the funds for it to go through. I only worked a hal...

Days Sober: 3

   Finally got up early enough to make some bacon and eggs for breakfast. Also had some coffee with cream in it. I've grown fond of coffee with cream, unfortunately I used up the last of my cream this morning. (Didn't even get the entire cup drank) So if I get up and going early enough tomorrow to get breakfast with some coffee I'll have to drink it black.

    It's said that a breakfast is a good way to get more energy over the rest of the day, but I didn't feel much of a difference from today and the last few days. But I am feeling a considerable difference from this week and previous weeks. It is quite a bit easier to get up and going when doesn't feel like I'm standing on electricity when I wake up in the morning. And outside of a couple of energy shots I am completely avoiding any artificial sweeteners. I have learned that artificial sweeteners, particularly in diet sodas really effect my negatively and it really zaps all of the energy out of me. The phone analyzes my sleep and it suggests that I try to get to bed earlier. And if I could get these dang posts done before midnight like I have been doing I'd get to bed around the time that I want to.

    Coworker scoffed at me when I told him that I was wanting to quit drinking alcohol. He insisted that if I wanted to do the Keto diet all I have to do is find a low carb beer and drink that. But I don't think he understood my concern with alcohol. He said, just cut back the amount you drink in a day. But that's not something that I can do. If I have it I'm going to drink it. And I'd be buying it every day. It seems like an exaggeration, but literally every...single...day. I was buying, at least, 4 tall cans of Natural ICE and/or Milwaukee's Best or a 12-24 pack of Michelob Ultra. And not even thinking of the physical ramifications of that, this was getting expensive as hell.

    For lunch I had a serving of the Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole that I made a video of a few days ago. I haven't taken the time to edit that video or the video about the beef soup that I had cooked the other day either.

    I've been watching videos about quitting alcohol, more than a few have warned about various withdraw symptoms. Not sure if I'm just lucky that I've never seen any of these issues, or if I'm catching the alcoholism before it comes to the point where I'm running into that stage.

    Dinner was some baked Bratwursts and the last box of mac and cheese. While the brats baked I spent some time on Pinterest looking for some recipes to cook. I have enough recipes recorded to finish the month of May. But that's only three recipes cooked. And in my freezer I only have 8 different meals. I have multiple servings of those 8 meals, but again that's only 8 different meals. I'm going to have to cook many more meals to consider my freezer stocked. I'm trying to debate what a good number of different meals is a good number of meals to have so I'm not eating the same thing over and over. I'm thinking that somewhere between 14 and 21 different meals is a good number. But I'm not sure if my refrigerator's freezer could hold that many servings of food. But it might be a goal to work towards.
