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

Sober Day 2

YMCA: Weight Room/Cardio

Slow start again today. I really just didn't want to do anything. I finally convinced myself that I hated the effects of not moving than I hated the getting up and moving.

I woke up at about 7:30 which is really good for me, but it was close to 10am by the time I got up and moving. Something got a-hold of me and it's been a-hold of me all day long.

I did convince myself to get to the YMCA and I did stay a little bit longer in the weight room than I did on Saturday, but still feel hesitant being in there. Might just need to build the habit. And again I felt better in the cardio room on the treadmill. I really pushed myself on the treadmill. Got it up to 3 mph (4.8 kph) for 10 minutes.

I waited to weigh in until I was back from the YMCA. I've noticed that when I weigh myself before and after I go over there I tend to be one or two pounds lighter after compared to before. But not today. And I am trying to not beat myself up over daily fluctuations. But it kind of sucks to be down 5.6 lbs (2.5 kg) Saturday, down 3.2 lbs (1.5 kg) Sunday, and then be up 5.6 lbs (2.5 kg) Monday. Not sure if it's just daily fluctuations or the fried chicken and chips that I had yesterday. That might explain the mood that I've been in today also. Because I was feeling pretty good for the last couple of days, then I had fried chicken and chips and the next day I don't even want to do anything. Not in a dangerous way, it's just like the gravity has been turned up.

Had breakfast after the Y also. Really wasn't in the mood for bacon and eggs again. So I made something I call Taco Mix. I haven't made a video of this concoction (yet). Basically it's a pound of ground beef, a homemade Taco Seasoning that I've found online, some cream cheese, a cup of shredded cheddar, and a cup of salsa. I always kick myself when I'm eating this, the taco seasoning is really supposed to be for multiple batches. So it always comes out really rich.

Wasn't really motivated to do much today so I just spent a good chunk of the day zombie scrolling. I decided to delete the bookmarks and apps from my phone. I do this from time, but then I'll find myself back on those sights/apps. I keep getting scared that I'm going to miss something, but I'm not really paying attention, I'm just drooling and scrolling.

Had a late breakfast so I had a late lunch. That serving of Cordon Bleu Soup was sitting in the fridge for a while. But the vacuum bag was still flat, and it didn't smell bad when I opened it up to microwave it.

I also spent a good chunk of the day playing Master Chief Collection. Unlocked some really satisfying achievements that I've been trying to get for a while. I didn't realize that today was the 10th anniversary of that game collection. I just kind of felt like playing today.

I did do a soda run, and I did manage to avoid buying beer. It helped that I didn't have much money to spend. The amount that I spent on the four cases of seltzer today is about the amount of a single 12pk of beer. 

The real challenge will be tomorrow because today I didn't have enough money to buy the seltzer and beer. If I write a check on Tuesday it won't pass until Thursday, when I get paid. So tomorrow's challenge is to take inventory of the freezer to get a meal plan together, recognize that I have plenty to drink already, and STAY HOME FROM THE STORE. I think I'll go swimming at the Y, but I'll need to come back home after that.

 Over baked the chicken. I felt lazy and put the chicken in the oven while the oven was still warming and then set the timer for longer. Yeah, that didn't turn out well.

It's also Veterans day. So honor and respect to all who've served our great country.
