Weight: 323.1 lbs ( 146.6 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Strip Steak and Eggs Lunch: Stuffed Bell Pepper soup   Snack: BBQ Pork Rinds  Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 416) Keto Week 1 (Day 10) (33/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was able to wake up just in time to cook that strip steak and eggs. But was only able to get half of the pot of coffee before I had to run off to work. When I got to work there was a bit of confusion of what I was supposed to be doing as my schedule online said that I was in the service desk for just about the entire day so I wore my apron, but when I got to the front of the store and saw the paper showing the list of where everybody was supposed to be it was showing that I was supervisor the entire day so I went back to my locker to grab my supervisor vest however when I got back up to the front the list was showing that I was in the service desk all day. It turn...

Weight: 323.5 lbs ( 146.7 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Stuffed Bell Pepper soup   Dinner: Grilled Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 415) Keto Week 1 (Day 9) (32/365 Days 2026 Keto) I noticed that I had transposed the digits from yesterday's weigh in I had written 324.3 instead of the 323.4 that I had on my phone. I'm not sure if I should go back to yesterday's post to correct that or just let it go. It's a bit odd that the check that I wrote on Tuesday for Groceries hadn't came through today. Usually when I write a check on Tuesday it'll go through on Thursday when I get paid. I'm not too worried about it coming through, it's just another day or two when I'm going to be doing extra math to see how much I have left in the checking account. I worked 1pm to 9pm today. Usually when I close the desk I'd have came...

Weight: 322.9 lbs ( 146.5 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: AI Pizza Casserole with Garlic Cream Sauce Dinner: Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 405) Keto Day 6 (23/365 Days 2026 Keto) Was just about to make an early post, but then the writing program decided to crash and wiped out everything I wrote, and took out all of the spreadsheets as well. So I'll have to try to rewrite everything that I had written before. I really need to learn to save more often. Thankfully I had put the weight for the day into my phone's health tracking app. And it is kind of exciting to lose 5 lbs (-2.3 kg) in one day. Not sure if that's going to happen very often, but I'll take it when it does. I did the grocery shopping for the day today as I'm planning on doing laundry tomorrow. It's still strange to use the debit card to pay for groceries. ...

Weight: 323.0 lbs ( 146.5 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 53.5 in ( 135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Southwestern Detox Soup https://youtu.be/9q5K-GH0250 Dinner: Bratwurst  Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 387) Keto Day 3 (6/365 Days 2026 Keto) I don't know if the meditation last night did anything to help sleep come sooner or better. But I did have a really strange dream. Strange to have dreams at all, but this was a weird one. For some reason I was walking to work and somebody said that they knew a short cut, but I had lost them as they ran behind a warehouse which was odd because there aren't any warehouses between my house and the store. But when I came from behind the warehouse I noticed that I was in the mountains. I figured that it was the Rocky Mountains as it was rocky and snowy up on the top of the mountains. I looked down and saw a city, I figured that was Denver because that is a...

Weight: 323.6 lbs ( 146.8 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Enchilada Soup   Snack: Baked Chicken Drumsticks   Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 385) Keto Day 1 (4/365 Days 2026 Keto) Exciting to see three days in a row of down weights. Still not back to the beginning weight of the year (+2.1 lbs <~1 kg>) so the yearly projection is still saying that I'll be 627.3 lbs (284.5 kg) by the end of next year. A point of excitement is that I'm just 8.8 lbs (~4 kg) away from the 314.8 lbs (142.8 kg) That I started this project back in 2014. And if I get under that weight the Full Projection will start showing the weight going down towards my other targets! Roommate got up early because he had his appointment at 9am. He told me that he tried to sign up for Food Stamps, but apparently he's making too much from his insurance to get the SNAP benefits. I told him b...

Weight: 323.0 lbs ( 146.5 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 371) Keto Day 1 Spent quite a bit of the morning updating the weigh in Spreadsheets for 2026. That was a really good weight this morning. Bit of a frustration with the waist, but still down 3.5 inches (2.5 cm) for the year. As Christmas Day is on Thursday this year I'm getting paid on Wednesday so I did the grocery shopping yesterday so the check will clear tomorrow. So I usually do the grocery shopping while Roommate is at his weekly medical appointment, but as I already did my grocery shopping yesterday I just came home and waited for him to call. I was going to do laundry this afternoon so I was going to gather up my laundry while Roommate was at his appointment, but I got distracted by a “50 Facts about K...

Weight: 323.2 lbs ( 147.4 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken   Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 11 (Day 334) Great number on the scale this morning. Especially since I had Chicken Alfredo for lunch the entire week last week. And the scale gave me the same number three times in a row, so it wasn't glitching. I was debating on whether to or not to try to go back to the AI to try to get it to do the financial projection again. But I looked over the code...none of the bills listed in the code that it generated were the bills that I had told it. I had listed the various bills I expect during the year four times over the last three weeks and it eventually just forgets the bills that I have in the projection and just makes up new bills. I figured that I was just trying to build a more flexible version of the Quicken program that I already have on my computer. (Not spo...

Weight: 323.2 lbs ( 146.6 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer,Sugar Free Monster, Large Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 10 (Day 328) It was exciting to weigh in this morning as this is the lowest weight in the last two years. Heck, it's the lowest weight of the 2020's decade if I'm looking at my numbers right. And this time over 2024 and 2023 I was gaining considerably amounts of weight. Kind of blows my theory that the reason that I was gaining weight this time of year my body was getting ready for winter. I know that humans don't hibernate, but I would have assumed that we do have some of feature that would add some insulation in the winter. But no I was just eating and drinking too much in the previous years. (definitely drinking too much) It was exciting to do the grocery shopping as the total came to $92 when I usually budget for $150. It'...
