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: 328.2 lbs ( 148.8 kg) BMI: 42.1 Waist: 54.0 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Keto Goulash Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Month 9 (Day 284) Keto Day 3 Scale is giving me a bunch of random numbers again. But 328.2 lbs (148.8 kg) seemed to be the most consistent number. If I were to cherry pick it would have been 315.2 lbs (143 kg) THAT would have been nice, but would have been very dishonest. And it wouldn't have done me any favors. I did get around to taking inventory of the freezer and making a meal plan for the week. I was going to try to keep this next grocery run to be under $75, but it looks like the stocking up is going to be a bit expensive. So I think this Tuesday's trip I'm going to do the regular $150. But the things I'm going to buy are going to last a couple of weeks instead of the single week trip that I usually budget for. So p...

Weight: 335.4 lbs ( 152.1 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Member's Mark Jumbo Hot Dogs Dinner: Taco Salad Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 277) Keto Day 3 The increase in the waist is a bit disconcerting. The waistline doesn't usually move very much. And being up 2 whole inches is weird. Before work I started working on the scheduling and planning of the videos that I want to work on, and WOW that was a burst of energy that I haven't felt in a while. On the way to work I felt the energy dropping really hard. But I was able to recover some of the energy by telling myself that going to work is just going to be the temporary reprieve from working on the videos. The problem with that thought is that I am already feeling like I'm just waiting my life away. I can never do what I want to do because I have to wait for a little bit longer before I can do t...

Weight: 331.0 lbs ( 150.1 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken   Dinner: Diced Beef Taco Salad Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 8 (Day 248) Keto Day 3 When I went to bed last night I was going to read for a little bit, but I just went right to bed. The last thing I remember is that I haven't tried to meditate in a long time...and then I woke up this morning. So I guess that it worked. Kind of growling at the scale this morning. Happiness is not a number on the scale, fluctuations happen, still under average yada yadda etc etc. It is exciting that this weigh in brings 2025 under the average for 2023 making this year have the lowest average weight of the decade (so far) It would be fun to have a year that would be lower than any in the 2010's as I had stared back in 2014.  It is curious that the checks I wrote on Tuesday hadn't landed by Noon. Tuesday's check usually dr...

Missing Check Keto Sobriety Blog Tuesday August 19, 2025

Weight: 330.0 lbs ( 149.7 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Baked Boneless Rib eye Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 7 (Day 240) Keto Day 3 I decided to go with Millionaire Chicken Casserole (You are what you eat lol) It only makes 4 servings so I'm going to make 2 batches of it. And looking over the ingredients for the casserole it looks like it's a carnivore recipe. Unfortunately the two batches only made 4 satisfying servings. Fortunately I'm on Paid Time Off next week and I have enough chicken in the freezer to have Baked Chicken for lunch all of next week or at least for a good chunk of it. Dishing it up it really smelt like some ranch dressing would go really good in it. But looking at the ingredients of store bought Ranch Dressing it really is just flavored Vegetable Oil and a lot of keto/carnivore influencers are seriously against "Seed o...

Weight: 330.4 lbs ( 149.9 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Pizza Soup   Dinner: Chuck Roast Mushroom Gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Powerade Zero Orange Sober Month 7 (Day 220) Keto Day 3 Woke up with some itchy fingers this morning. Not in the greedy sort of way, but in the something bit me kind of way. There's a bright red spot on the base of my thumb and on the top of my right pointer finger whenever I wash my hands. Over the day the level of itch was low enough that it wasn't really that distracting. But if I was standing around not doing anything I would catch myself picking at my finger. Kind of surprised to see the weight progress over the last couple of days. Almost seems to be back on track. There's been a bit of a weight loss plateau over the last couple of months. Not sure if that's because I'm not following the diet as well as I would have liked, or some other issue. Yes...

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...

Weight: 332.6 lbs ( 150.8 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 56.5 in (143.5 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Pizza Soup Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties, Garden Salad Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea, Powerade Zero Strawberry, Sparkling ICE Lemon Lime Sober Month 4 (Day 147) Keto Day 3 AC guy showed up right before I had to go to work. Thankfully Roommate will be home if there are any issues. I was starting to get worried because it was 10 o'clock and he still hadn't called. I only saw that he was here because I saw his van pull up to the back of the house. We were, more or less, ready for him. We just had to drag the dog up to Roommates room. I think I recognize the technician I'm pretty sure he introduced himself to me as someone who did some work on my Grandma's house. Kind of nervous to ask him about it. He removed the heater from the basement and the AC unit from outside. And my guess of him, “being done by lunch” was kind of correct because...

Worried About the Car Keto/Sobriety Blog March 25, 2025

Weight: 338.6 lbs ( 153.6 kg) BMI: 43.5 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Keto Clam Chowder Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee with cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 3 Sober Month 3 (Day 98) YMCA: No While Roommate was at his doctors appointment this morning I did my grocery shopping. I got the stuff for a Tuna Casserole, a Keto Clam Chowder, some steaks, Fish Oil, some Cod, and some chicken. I added up the things I bought as I was shopping, but again the total was more than I added up as I was shopping. I'm trying to keep the weekly grocery bill to around $150, but again today I over spent. As I was shopping it added up to $143, but the total was $164. Not much over, but is that going to happen every week? I printed off the hand plates for the Master Chief cosplay. They're only two little hand plates, but it still took an hour and forty five minutes to print. But still a lot faster and easier than pep...

Last Blast From Old Man Winter Keto/Sobriety Blog March 19, 2025

Weight: 338.2 lbs ( 153.4 kg) BMI: 43.4 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Dinner: Tootin' Chili Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Day 3 Sober Month 3 (Day 92) YMCA: No When I woke up this morning I debated again on going to the YMCA. I need to build the habit, but the wind is blowing pretty crazy. If I'm skipping going to the Y whenever it's blowing in KANSAS I'm never going to go. I stepped on the scale and I was the exact same weight as yesterday. So I was going to go as I have noticed that when I step on the scale before and after going to the gym, if there is any change at all, the weight is always lower. But then I checked the radar and if I would have gone to the Y it would have been snowing on my way home. It's not a very far walk, but walking there and then back while it was blowing snow that hard really didn't sound like a good idea. Or at least a good e...

Low Gas Level Keto/Sobriety Blog Feb 19, 2025

Weight: 343.6 lbs (155.9 kg) BMI: 44.1 Waist: 58 in (147.3 cm) WtHr: 78.4% Breakfast: Sausage Ham Egg and Cheese Scramble Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Diet Arizona Lemonade Tea, Celsius Fuji Apple Pear, Powerade Zero Orange Keto Day 3 Sober Month 2 (Day 64) I ended up using my nose on my phone to set up some videos to fall asleep to. It didn't take much of the shortening to cover my hands. I wonder if I bought too much. There was only one size of can, but it only took a couple of fingertips full to cover the entirety of my hands. It was a bit distracting to have my hands inside of socks. And I probably shouldn't have used the socks that I wore yesterday. There was a smell, but the crustiness was more distracting. The warmth on my hands was nice though. When I woke up this morning the hands had kind of stiff skin on the back of them, but they didn't hurt. I'll continue the experiment to see if it helps. But I'll p...

Weight: 343.4 lbs ( 155.7 kg) BMI: 44.1 Waist: 57 in (149.9 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 3 Sober Month 1 (Day 58) Last night when I went to bed I felt strangely hungry. I had just ate a pretty good sized Pork Steak. That's all I had, but I was satisfied after dinner. But a couple of hours later my stomach was kind of rumbly Today started off AMAZINGLY I woke up and today was down 4.8 lbs (2.1 kg) waist is down 2in (5 cm) and the Rent and Grocery Checks came through on the same day that the Pay Check came in. I'm always holding my breath for the week or two it takes for the Rent Check to come through. So it is always a massive relief when it comes in. The challenge for today is not to spend any money. And I made it through the day without spending anything. This is one of my goals. Sure I didn't spend as much on soda as I did on beer, b...

Weight: 346.6 lbs ( 157.2 kg) BMI: 44.5 Waist: 58.5 in (147.3 cm) WtHr: 79.7% Breakfast: Bacon, Chuck Steak, and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Keto Day 3 Sober Month 1 (Day 42) Woke up in the middle of the night last night just DRENCHED in sweat. I thought I had woken up peeing the bed, but the wetness in the bed was only in the top half of the bed. I really had to pee several times during the night. And I had really low energy all morning. A google search says that this could be a range of issues ranging from certain STI's (probably not) High Stress (I haven't been that stressed lately) Changes in hormones (maybe from changing diet?) Certain Cancers (that's unnerving) Low Blood Sugar (I'm guessing on this one) I'm guessing hypoglycemia as I did wake up again today with a hangover like headache, muscle weakness, and tired all day. I was really zapped for energy all day. Even while drinking...
