Weight: 334.4 lbs ( 151.7 kg) BMI: 42.9 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cheeseburger Soup Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 8 (Day 254) Keto Week 1 (Day 9) Kind of hitting the ground running today. Working 9:45am to 7pm. So the morning routine was kind of rushed. I only had time to scarf the bacon and eggs and most of one cup of coffee. The funny thing is that the reason that I was supposed to work early was because the Customer Service Management were all supposed to go to a meeting about how they're going to change up all of the lottery stuff. What are they going to do with the lottery? Well that's what they're going to talk about in the meeting. But they rescheduled the meeting and who knows when the meeting is going to be. I'm a bit bummed that the seltzer that I've been buying all year long that was on sale for $3.99 the sale h...

Weight: 336.4 lbs ( 152.6 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-s Jumbo Jumbo Hot Dogs Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 8 (Day 253) Keto Week 1 (Day 8) The page count on the writing program says that this is the 600th page that I wrote for this blog. 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...

Weight: 332.2 lbs ( 150.7 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-S Jumbo Jumbo Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Powerade Zero Orange Sober Month 8 (Day 252) Keto Day 7 Pretty big jump in the weight this morning. I'm hoping that'll just make September look better. Fairly certain that a good chunk of the weight gain this morning is due to seasonal allergies head is quite full of snot this morning. Not really a remarkable day. Yeah, it was Labor Day. And I did have some people point out the “irony” that I was working on labor day. But not as much as I was expecting. Kind of low mental energy all day today. I grabbed a scrap of paper to take notes of the day, but didn't write anything down. My left foot and left hip were really getting sore by the end of the evening at work Really tired today. Not sure if I'm just recovering from vacation, getting eff...

Weight: 328.4 lbs ( 149 kg) BMI: 42.2 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-S Jumbo Jumbo Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 8 (Day 251) Keto Day 6 It is fascinating that I usually finish a vacation week considerably higher in weight than I start it. But looks like it's down for the week, AND for the month.   Started off the day in a pretty sour mood. I really didn't want to go back to work. The mood did start lifting as I was going in to work as I do complain A LOT on here about the job, but for the vast majority of the time the job isn't a bad job to have. I just wish people weren't just so God damned dumb. And then I got to work. This person called in, but the manager said no so she's still “expected” to show up, one person no showed, another person had tried to switch hours with another person but the Customer Service Manager denied the swap. Thankf...

Weight: 327.8 lbs ( 148.7 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken   Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 8 (Day 249) Keto Day 4 I was surprised after I posted and read a chapter of the book I was reading (“A Brief History of Time” By Dr Stephan Hawking) I was reading, but brain wasn't comprehending. The chapter was about how Black Holes were interacting with Quantum Mechanics to basically evaporate. And yeah, quantum mechanics are weird and hard to understand. But the words might as well have been flowing in my eyes and out of my ears. When I finished the chapter and realized that I didn't really “read” any of it as my brain was really just shut off I figured I might as well just go to sleep because it was “so late” and checked the time...it was only 10:30pm. Half of my mind was telling me that it was so early I should just get up and do something, the other half of m...

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...
