Weight: 328.4 lbs ( 148.9 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bologna Sandwiches Pringles Cheddar Sour Cream Chips Dinner: Chuck Roast with mushroom gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 289) I was surprised to see the lower number on the scale this morning. 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...

Weight: 336.4 lbs ( 152.6 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Pizza Soup https://youtu.be/Ow6p41Hqt1o Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 275) Keto Week Day 1 Really disappointed at the scale this morning. I know that happiness is not a number on the scale, but the weight this morning resets the entire weight for the month. Still down 10.3 lbs for the year. I'm not sure if it was the bad breakfast that I had yesterday or what caused the weight gain today. Or if it explained the pain today. But my left foot was really sore all day long. And later in the evening my right butt cheek started feeling sore. Possibly because of compensating for the sore foot. Too wiped out from work to make a full post. I was scheduled to close the desk so I was supposed to get off at 9pm, but right at 8:30 when I was going to start doing the closing reports there was a swa...

I keep it to one page before I post it on here. I haven't made 600 posts on this blog. I'm not sure where to look to see how many posts I've made. It hasn't always been a Sobriety or even Keto Blog, I will be proud to get up to 600 on either of those counts though.  Wow, up 8 lbs in two days. It would be unwise to blame all of that gain on one thing, but I don't think I'll have any of those Jumbo Jumbo Hot Dogs anymore. Feet, ankles, and left hip were really grumpy this morning. And my gut felt like it was overfilled. Like uncomfortably stuffed, even though I hadn't eaten in almost 12 ho...

I was going to stack up the data from one of them to get an idea of what an average weight per day was and maybe get a projection of the future weights. I had worked on that spreadsheet for the better part of two days...without saving. I really need to start remembering to save projects. I had all three original spreadsheets and the Daily Blog open and they all decided to crash just scrapping the data from the last two days. I'm going to pass on making that new spreadsheet it was just coming out as just a bunch of noisy data and the graphs on that spreadsheet just didn't want to work out. I'll just stick wi...

I keep catching myself just sitting here at the computer. I blink and it seems to be an hour and a half later. It was quite busy today at work. But the day went smoothly. There was a moment of frustration a kid that was supposed to work yesterday who had a doctors note about not being able to work for the next week or so. The manager didn't bother telling anybody until about an hour before he was supposed to come in to tell anybody that he wasn't going to be able to come in. Thankfully they were able to convince one person to stay late and another to come in on her day off. The frustration there was the guy...

Not really “sad” per say. Just not feeling anything. Just really emotionally numb. Not sure what's going on there. It's kind of like the “Seasonal Effective Disorder” that I usually struggle with during the winter but it's the middle of summer. I just have a heavy case of “Don't wanna to” I have to go to work, but I don't wanna to, I could play video games, but I don't wanna to. I've been going to bed around 10:30 or 11pm, but it's still almost 2am before I fall asleep. I'm kind of frustrated with finances. Last week I payed the water bill, this week I payed the Rent and Phone bill, next week I'll b...

I had a Paranoid Schizophrenic come through the desk last night so that was interesting. Lady came up to the desk asking to check the balance of a gift card. It was a gift card for the store so that's one I can check the balance of. She asked if the name on the back of the card was an “Islamisist Name” It just said, “From a Friend” but it was in cursive. She insisted that Islamisists” were forcing her into homelessness and into forced prostitution. They had hacked her Social Security and was stealing her Housing Vouchers to force her into slavery. I wasn't really sure on how to h...

What I was trying to do was to fill out the entire local map. The problem was that as I walked around the sun would go down and monsters would come out at night. I carried a bed with me to “Sleep through the night” but a lot of times when I placed the bed down the monsters would spawn too closely to my bed and I would try fighting them off to sleep, but a lot of times when I was fighting one monster another one would come up behind me and blow me up. If you can get back to the point where your character was killed quickly enough you can pick up the stuff that you had, but the thing is that a lot of time the point where I died would be on the other side of the play area ...

I really need to get back to the diet. I've been sober since December, so yay Six Months sober. Not that I haven't been...Thirsty, from time to time. But I just have a hard time sticking to the diet. April really was the best weight loss progress month, but then May stayed really flat, and then June really tracked up really quickly. I haven't been at 340 since March and that average hadn't been since February. And today was the first time since February that I was over the average for the year. Another thing with getting back to the diet is Mind/Body/Spirit. Yeah, my feet, ankles, and knees are yelling at me by the end of the day. But I'm just getting off of work and just collapsing at my...

Weight: 332.8 lbs ( 150.9 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cabbage Soup Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea, Kroger Energy Shot, Arizona Diet Lemonade Tea, Keto Day 3 Sober Month 5 (Day 155) I seem to be in a bit of a Weight Loss Plateau. But looking at the data of the year that seems to be the pattern. January was pretty flat, February had pretty good progress, March was pretty flat, and then April had good progress, and now May is flat. So I'm not sure if that is normal, but I am making amazing progress for the year. I didn't get a chance to take any notes today. I do remember that there were moments that I wanted to write things down. But good gravy today was swamped busy. It was the Friday of a holiday weekend and there are rumors of bad weather over the next couple of days. It was insanely busy and I did have more than one person ask me if the help that we had was all of the help...

Worried About The Paycheck Keto/Sobriety Blog May 22, 2025

Weight: 332.6 lbs ( 150.8 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Big Mac Casserole Dinner: Strip Steaks Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea Keto Day 2 Sober Month 5 (Day 154) A little disappointed that the weight is up a couple of pound since yesterday. But I'm REALLY KIND OF FREAKED OUT that the paycheck hasn't landed in my bank account this morning. The pay stub usually updates on Wednesday around 7pm and I usually check the site as I'm leaving work on Wednesday, but I was off yesterday so I didn't bother checking the site and I was just expecting the deposit at midnight like usually happens. I checked my balances after posting last night...and it wasn't there. I tried to check the website were the pay stubs are posted and it wasn't responding. So I downloaded the related app. After a bit of login and signing up drama, I was able to check my pay stub...and it wasn't there. The last pay stu...

Got distracted by Oblivion last night so I didn't get around to posting. Or at least that'll be the excuse that I'll use.  It is nice to be back down to 330 (149.7 kg) Goal is currently at 320 (145.1 kg) but I seem to be back on track now.  I did manage to defrost the freezer and take an inventory yesterday. Frustratingly the freezer is still overfilled. HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING? Yeah, I bought some more Bratwursts, and a Pork Butt cut into steaks. But that's all I bought and it was still a challenge to get everything back into the freezer even with the stuff I got out for the weekly meal plan. I didn't think that I had bought more than the seven lunches and sev...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Basic Chili Dinner: Texas T-Bone Steakhouse Onion Straws, 2x Dinner Rolls, Prime Rib, Salad, Loaded Mashed Potatoes Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea, Diet Pepsi Sober Month 4 (Day 142) Woke up with a bit of a headache again today, at least it faded over time today. But it does make me wonder if I'm missing something. Finished off the last of the Sugar Free Monster yesterday and I didn't want to spend more money on energy drinks and Roommate keeps brewing Green tea so that inspired me to brew some tea for myself. I would have some of his green tea, but I'm pretty sure he puts sugar in his tea. The cheese that I put into the chili at lunch kind of smelt like it had gone bad. I didn't see any mold on it, but I did end up throwing out the last little bit of that cheese that was left. I hope it doesn't make me sick as that would be ...

There is a bit of a political point in it and I got distracted by that point and got off on the tangent. And it happened a bit in the rerecord as well. But to a bit of a lesser degree. Breakfast was a little late because I recorded the video while Roommate was at his appointment and I waited for him to get home because I knew as soon as I started cooking he'd call and be ready to come home. And it was 11am by the time he called to come home and I was able to have breakfast. What was really strange was on the way home from the hospital with Roommate we drove by someone who was pulled "over" on 30th street. In our town 30th is one of the bigger roads which has double l...

I'm not Catholic, but it does seem like the Catholic Church has lost a very good person. Almost forgot to post today. I spent all day playing Minecraft. I didn't “craft” all that much all I did was dig a stair case down to the bedrock. They say that the further down you dig the more stuff you'll find And I was finding more Gold and Diamonds down there than I have found so far while having this play through. The hardest part was when I came across a cave so I had to constantly build rocks up to connect to the stair case that I was digging through the rock. It took a while to dig it all because my home base is at 173, and the Bed Rock is at -60 and I was building a diagonal staircase...

Attempting a 48 Hour Fast Keto/Sobriety Blog June 17, 2024

Weight: 336.1 lbs (152.4 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Attempting Lunch: 48 Hour Dinner: Fast Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Original, Pot of Coffee Black Sober Day 2 Attempting a 48 hour fast. Fell off of the wagon on Saturday and had some beer. And yesterday (Sunday) I decided to have Fried Chicken and Macaroni Salad for lunch. I have Monday and Tuesday off this week. Since I have two days off in a row I decided to attempt a 48 hour fast. I don't plan on trying this very often as all of the articles that I've came across suggest that this should only be done once or twice a month. I'm kind of glad that I didn't work today because for some reason I woke up at 10:30a. I usually work at 11a it always sucks to jump out of bed and run to work. It took me a while to process that it was so late in the morning. I have no idea why I slept in so late. I had even gotten to bed earlier than I normally would have for a Sunday night. And I didn't eve...

Switching Out Beer For Cough Syrup Daily Keto/Sobriety Blog June 10, 2024

Weight: 332.2 lbs (150.7 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 55 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cabbage Soup Dinner: 1.17 lbs Chuck Blade Steak Grilled Drinks: Pot of Coffee Black, Diet Dr Pepper, Kroger Energy Shot, Kroger Blackberry Citrus Seltzer Water Sober Day 2 Still didn't go to the YMCA this morning as I'm still horaking up my lungs. I'm still fairly certain that it's just allergies, but I think COVID-19 is still close enough to the zeitgeist that nobody would want to lift weights around someone coughing like I am. And swimming when I can't breathe properly doesn't sound like fun either. Although sitting in the steam room for a bit would probably be beneficial. Had bacon and eggs for breakfast this morning. I've been trying to re-season my cast iron skillet. For a while I was cleaning the skillet with a steal wool scratch pad and baking it. I wasn't using soap water on it, but lately it looked like the patina was starting to come ...

It's not even a thought of, “I'll do it tomorrow” It's more of a just sitting here zombie scrolling through social media. I seriously need to get my life under control. Those first sentences were written four days ago. Lately I feel like I'm just tumbling trough space. I grew up wanting to be an astronaut, but this isn't that. I was going to get this restarted back on Tuesday when I was really surprised by  1. I woke up at half-past noon. It seems like a flex, but I really hate sleeping past noon. And when I did get downstairs I was surprised by the second surprise.  2. My Mom was banging on my door doing a welfare check. My Stepdad had called her to check on me because I had let ...

Weight: 332 lbs (150.6 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Chile Relleno Soup Snack: Bacon and Eggs Dinner: Baked Bratwursts Drinks: Pot of Black Coffee, Several Cans of sugar free Big K Dr K and Cherry Cola  Sober Day 5 YMCA: No I didn't get around to posting last night. I didn't have any beer, but I did have some fried chicken for lunch and frozen pizza for dinner. This is supposed to be a Keto/Sobriety blog. I guess I could have just made a “Sobriety” post. But this started off as a Keto Blog and it kind of felt strange to write: “Welcome to my usually Keto Blog...” Another challenge that I couldn't overcome was yesterday was the last day of work before I went on vacation this week so when I got home all of ME just kind of shut down. I'm pretty sure I heard the windows shutdown sound when I sat at my computer. Although I did eat a lot of carbs yesterday I woke up feeling pretty good today. Ever since I got home fr...

And I'm wanting to do swimming next week so I spent a few minutes in the weight room I had to struggle with the thought that I was doing everything wrong and I was just wasting time. I tried to use the counter thought of “Doing something is always better than doing nothing” but I really couldn't bring myself to do much in the weight room. I did feel a lot more confident and sure of myself when I was using the treadmill. But then again that's just walking. If I can't figure out how to walk by now I'm going to have a lot of questions with mys...

I was going to start this back up yesterday, but it just became another than a “Mark Whines About Work” Post. I feel like work absorbs enough of my life without me coming home and stewing about the BS. And I doubt anybody wants to read about that. But that does put a heck of a block on what I could write about on a “Daily Blog” Yesterday when I stepped on the scale I was back to where I was, weight wise, at the beginning of the year and I have been kind of concerned about the returning stabbing pain in my feet and how stiff my legs have been lately. I've also been really tired and irritated all day....
