Weight: 320.7 lbs ( 145.4 kg) BMI: 41.2 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Mom's Chili Dinner: Corned Beef Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 441) Keto Day 4 (48/365 Days 2026 Keto) Trying to get back to this. I've been sober, but haven't been very Ketogenic. Spending way too much mental energy re-balancing my budget. A couple of weeks ago Roommate was screeching about how bad the internet was and he seemingly figured that the modem was starting to go bad. But it was hard to tell the difference between that screeching and all of the other screeching. But I eventually ran by Cox (not sponsored) to get a new modem. While I was there their associates were really rather excitedly tried to get me to sign up for their mobile phone service. I had to tell them several times that I was just there to switch out modems, I wasn't looking to sign up for any other services. But th...

Weight: 319.1 lbs ( 144.7 kg) BMI: 41.0 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Keto Goulash   Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Ginger Garlic Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 428) Keto Day 4 (42/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good streak on the scale over the last couple of days. It's back under the start of the year again and only 4.3 lbs (2 kg) away from the “progress goal” of where I started the tracking back in 2014, only 1.3 lbs (0.6 kg) away from the lowest weight so far this year, and only about 8 lbs (3.6 kg) away from being under 40 BMI (morbidly obese ) I took a moment before work to record the other political short video that I was thinking of making, but again for some reason when I tried to transfer the files to the computer it only played the audio of the video, but not the video. When I play the video on my phone it plays the video, but doesn't want to play on my computer. And I had a hard time getting...

Weight: 319.8 lbs ( 145.1 kg) BMI: 41.1 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Boneless Rib-eye Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Unsweetened Tea Sober Year 1 (Day 427) Keto Day 3 (41/365 Days 2026 Keto) Hey, hey, progress at last. It's been a week or two since I've had a weight that was below the beginning of the year. Waistline is still stagnant though. Since I did the shopping yesterday and Mom gave me a couple weeks worth of lunch I was able to re-record the store story that I was wanting to make. And since it was just a rant to into the camera it wasn't that hard to edit it. I was able to upload that and schedule it's release. I also scheduled the release of the political opinion short that I made. At least I hope I uploaded it as a short. Either way it's going to be a really short video. I also finished the script for the next political opinion. It was really fun to finally get aro...

Weight: 322.1 lbs ( 146.1 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Boneless Rib-eye Dinner: Taco Salad   Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 426) Keto Day 2 (40/365 Days 2026 Keto) This package of bacon has a strange split in the middle so when I try to get a piece out it breaks in half. So it kind of looks like I had 8 half pieces of bacon. IDK I think I would prefer 4 full pieces of bacon. Finished the shopping list and went ahead and did the grocery shopping for the week. I went ahead and topped off the gas in the car and got a hair cut as well. I tried to tell myself that there wasn't a need to make the meal plan just yet as I will be off tomorrow and I usually do the meal plan on Tuesday anyway. But I had just finished doing the grocery shopping and the food was just sitting there in the fridge and I wanted to get the steaks and sausages sealed up in the vacuum seal bags. When I...

Weight: 324.1 lbs ( 147.0 kg) BMI: 41.6 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Rib-Eye Steak and Eggs Lunch: Mom's Chili Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 425) Keto Day 1 (39/365 Days 2026 Keto) That was a big steak this morning. It was almost too big for my cast iron skillet. And left the heat up too high when I switched to cook the eggs so accidentally overcooked the eggs. I didn't get the chance to finish the pot of coffee this morning. But did have a bit more than yesterday.  I was going to finally get around to editing one of the videos I had recorded, but when I tried to connect my phone to the computer the computer just didn't want to load the connection to the phone. And when I did get the phone to show up on the explorer the video only played the sound of the video but not the VIDEO of the video so I'm going to have to re-record that video. Which to be honest is probably for the best, that ...

Weight: 322.3 lbs ( 146.2 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Fried Chicken Pringles Cheddar Cheese Dinner: Bone in Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 424) Keto Day 0 (38/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was excited to wake up this morning to see my Federal Tax Return landing in my checking account. I went ahead and paid off the remaining four months of the car insurances and re-balanced my budget to hopefully have that budgeted to be paid off all at once in the six month sections. It is cheaper to pay it off all at once. It was just last year right after I had paid off the first six month section my car's oil pressure sensor decided to crap out and I had to pay an extra $455 dollars right after I had paid off the monthly bills and bought a 3D printer. I'm going to be quite a bit more careful this year with the returns and I'm going to be loading up the saving accounts like I was wa...
