Last night when I went to bed I did see a couple of flashes of lightning which is to be expected for March in Kansas. Brain is really flat lined this morning. I know that there are things that I want to be doing, there are things that I should be doing. I just can't think of what those things are supposed to be. I knew that I worked 2pm to 10pm this evening. And I knew that when I work later in the evening I usually sit around doing math about how much I have left before I have to go to work. And that's all I do and I always get frustrated that all I do is sit around counting down until I have to go to work. I figured sitting down was the problem so I tried not to sit...

Weight: 317.5 lbs ( 144.0 kg) BMI: 40.8 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Instant Pot Chili   Snack: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Red Bull, Sober Year 1 (Day 447) Keto Week 1 (Day 10) (54/365 Days 2026 Keto) Nice, Lowest weight of the year so far. And another lowest weight since 2019. Only 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) from beating that record. And only 2.7 lbs (1.2 kg) from the “progress goal” of 314.8 lbs (142.8 kg), the weight where I started keeping track back in 2014 And if I'm looking at things right the 52.5 inch (133.4 cm) waist measurement is the lowest recorded on this blog. Lots of mental energy this morning, but my body is like, “cool story bro” Brain is saying, “we're going to clean the kitchen, and behind the desk, get the bedroom organized!” Body is saying, “Yeah, no we're not” Quite a bit of mental energy today, trying to conv...

Weight: 319.1 lbs ( 144.7 kg) BMI: 41.0 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Instant Pot Chili   Dinner: Basic Chili   Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Red Bull, Sober Year 1 (Day 446) Keto Week 1 (Day 9) (53/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was going to put my entire statement to management on this post, but it had taken up the entire spot and I don't know if anybody would read all of that and read about today. Then again I don't know who would be interested these posts anyway. The short version of it was a guy came into the store yesterday and asked about the Buy 2 Get 2 Free deal that we have on soda. I had explained to him that some of the sodas are Buy 2 Get 2 Free and other brands are Buy 2 Get 1 Free. He demanded to know what would happen if he were to buy a 24 case of soda. Well, the 24 cases of soda are on sale for $15.99 (This post is not sponsored or an advertisement) He insisted that he should be able to buy a 24 case of ...

Weight: 320.2 lbs ( 145.2 kg) BMI: 41.1 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Instant Pot Chili   Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 445) Keto Week 1 (Day 8) (52/365 Days 2026 Keto) Daylight Savings Time threw off the timing of this post and spent a while writing up a statement for something that happened at work. Will write a post tomorrow about what happened, but don't have time to write it out tonight.

Weight: 321.0 lbs ( 145.6 kg) BMI: 41.2 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Instant Pot Chili   Dinner: Chuck Roast with Mushroom Onion Gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 444) Keto Day 7 (51/365 Days 2026 Keto) Woke up with a lot of mental energy again today. It helps that when I woke up this morning I didn't have to immediately have to sit back down because of the pain that I used to have in my feet and legs. Being able to wake up and immediately start getting going is a really motivating thing. But I had some real scatterbrain (that's a word?) this morning. I was going to try to work on a video script, but I kept going back to the various social media sites to zombie scroll. I keep telling myself that I'm going to limit the time I spend on those sites and apps, but then I keep finding myself back on those sites and apps. I keep coming up with a plan of just limiting my time on social media to a...

Weight: 321.5 lbs ( 145.8 kg) BMI: 41.3 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Instant Pot Chili Dogs Dinner: Hormel Pork Loin Garlic Herb Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 443) Keto Day 6 (50/365 Days 2026 Keto) This morning when I woke up the wind was going crazy. I was really more woken up by the screen door slamming more than it really being time to wake up. The wind was coming out of the south-southwest and the way that my apartment building is lined up the wind was blowing exactly in the way the door would catch the wind and SLAM open and then the wind would switch and then SLAM closed. I was expecting Roommate to wake up yelling about the wind banging the screen door. Yelling at the wind here in Kansas can really keep one busy. But when he came downstairs he seemed to be in a better than normal mood. I was really mentally energized today. The energy really mellowed out during the day so this ...
