Weight: ? lbs ( ? kg) BMI: ? Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Pork Steak Lunch: Pizza Pasta Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Mocha Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 340) Slow start to the day. Some gunk in the back of my throat making my throat sore. Along with some sinus congestion. Ran out of bacon a couple of days ago so yesterday and today I had a pork steak for breakfast. I was going to have eggs to go with, but those steaks were pretty sizable so having a plate sized pork steak with four fried eggs seemed like a lot. I had just finished cooking the breakfast steak when Roommate came downstairs and announced that his doctors appointment this week is at 10am instead of the 11am it had been in the last couple of weeks and we needed to leave right then because it was just time to leave to get to his appointment. I put a lid on the skillet and since I have an electric stove the burner was still hot when I got back f...

Weight: ? lbs ( ? kg) BMI: ? Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Pizza Pasta Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Drinks: Salted Mocha Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 338) Trying to think of something to say, but nothing really happened today. It was the “Supervisor Curse” a boring day is a good day, because if nothing is happening nothing is going wrong. The mocha mix of instant hot chocolate and salted coffee tasted a bit better this morning than it did yesterday. Yesterday I added a bit of milk, today I skipped it and it had a stronger flavor. So I think I'll pass on the milk in the future. There was a bit of drama before I got to work. Apparently the Trans person was fired because sometime last week s/he blew up at one of the carryouts because he was sacking next to him/her beside the register. One of the people who was supposed to be a carryout this morning No-showed again . This was t...

Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Leftover Thanksgiving Ham, Chicken and Noodles Lunch: Pizza Pasta Dinner: St Louis Style Pork Ribs Drinks: Salted Mocha Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Month 11 (Day 337) Wow, that wind is going crazy out there. I woke up this morning to a notification of a “Wind Advisory” on my phone we've been having wind gusts going up to 45 mph (72 kph) Back on Thanksgiving I told my Grandma that I was planning on putting up her Christmas decorations this coming Friday. She insisted that she did NOT want me up on her roof if the weather is bad. I thought about teasingly call her this morning and ask if I should go ahead and put them up today. With the 45 mph wind gusts. I know that she would have said no, but it would have been fun to mess with her. But I could just not wake up today. I had the regular bacon and eggs for breakfast. With breakfast I put a pack of Hot Chocolate...

My head feels like it was hit by a baseball bat from the inside. And my legs are stiff and sore. My throat was sore the last couple of days, it doesn't hurt this morning so I don't think that I'm getting sick, I just think that I overate yesterday and I'm recovering today. I wasn't looking forward to going to work this morning. I thought that I was working the self checkout lunch. I wasn't feeling good and I wasn't looking forward to dealing with other people who are also probably recovering from over eating yesterday. I knew that I feel bad, and I don't know if other people will realize that they feel bad and will try to blame everybody else for the way they feel...

Weight: ? lbs ( ? kg) BMI: ? Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Thanksgiving at Grandma's Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Nestle Hot Cocoa with mini marshmallows Sober Month 11 (Day 335) Scale is still dead. So I don't know how much I weigh. I am off Thanksgiving so I bought some Hot Cocoa last night and woke up early this morning to try to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (not sponsored) but apparently you have to have an antenna to watch the broadcast on TV or have one of the various streaming subscriptions. I did find a couple of live streams of it playing, but it was just being filmed from somebody standing on the side of the street with a camera as the floats and balloons went by. It just didn't feel right. I did like the hot chocolate this morning. I microwaved some milk to make it this morning, but I think I'll put some in my coffee tomorrow morning. Appar...

Weight: ? lbs ( ? kg) BMI: ? Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Pork Steak and Eggs Lunch: Deli Fried Chicken, Pringles Sour Cream Cheddar  Dinner: Chuck Roast with Onion Mushroom Gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Sober Month 11 (Day 334) Scale is dead this morning. No “Low Battery” no error message, nothing to indicate that it has any issue. I just step on it and it has no reaction. I opened the battery compartment to see if it just needs new batteries and the entire battery compartment is just corroded away. There's a lot of corrosion on both ends of each of the three batteries as well, so I'm not sure if the corrosion came from the batteries or from something wrong with the scale. But either way, the scale is dead and it'll be a week or so until I'll be able to get a new one. They don't cost very much, but I don't want to spend that much of my weekly allowance on a bathroom scale. I typicall...

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: 325 lbs ( 147.4 kg) BMI: 41.7 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Snack: Bar-S Hot Dogs Breakfast: Mexican Chicken Alfredo Lunch: leftover Hormel Pork Loin Dinner: Hamburger Helper Spicy Garlic Parmesan Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 333) I didn't think that I would get to work on time this morning. I am typically scheduled to work 11am to 8pm. But this morning I was scheduled 7am to 4pm. Last night when I got off I had bought a Sugar Free Red Bull to put next to my bed so when the first alarm goes off I could slam that real quick, hoping that would help me wake up. I've read online that having multiple alarms to help you wake up is counterproductive (wow, can't believe I spelled that correctly the first time.) But I needed to make sure that I got to work. So I had set an alarm for every 15 minutes starting right at 6am. But yeah, I was able to wake up. But I didn't have time to get a proper breakfast so ...
