Weight: 321.1 lbs ( 145.6 kg) BMI: 41.2 Waist: 54.0 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Snack: Cashews Lunch: Fathead Lasagna   Snack: Pistachios Dinner: Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 411) Keto Day 5 (28/365 Days 2026 Keto) Wasn't able to post in the last couple of days as I worked until close and by the time I recovered after work I didn't have time to write out a blog post. And I've slept in a day or two so I didn't have time before work to do much either. So it kind of felt like I was waking up and going to work, then going back to bed.  I have been having a hard time cooking over the last couple of days. On Thursday I was happy that I had paid all of the bills that morning so I baked a Fathead Pizza. But the crust had completely carbonized to the baking sheet. Not sure what happened there. I've cooked Fathead Pizza before and had burnt it more than once, but never that badly before. And...

Weight: 322.3 lbs ( 146.2 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 54.0 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Fathead Lasagna https://youtu.be/Bd4KXuuh9yw Dinner:  Bratwurst Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 407) Keto Day 1 (24/365 Days 2026 Keto) Scale and waist is both up for the day, but not by much. Annoyed that the numbers are above the start of the year so all of the projections are showing up. At least the weight is still under the average for the year so far. The apartment complexes around here all have metal roofs (odd spelling on the word roofs, you'd think that it'd be “rooves”) so as it's starting to get above freezing outside and the snow starts melting on top of the roof the snow slides off in a kind of avalanche. So this morning I was sitting here listening to videos and then hear a “Slooumph” as snow and ice slides off of the building. It keeps sounding like something fell down, but...

Weight: 321.3 lbs ( 145.7 kg) BMI: 41.2 Waist: 53.5 in ( 135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Mozzarella Cheese Sticks Lunch: X Dinner: Pork Steak Fried in flour, Homemade Bread Dressing Snack: Kroger Sour Cream Cheddar Potato Chips Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Dr Pepper Zero Sugar Sober Year 1 (Day 406) Keto Day 0 (23/365 Days 2026 Keto) Yeah, that's the direction that I'm wanting the scale to go in. I'm a little annoyed at the tape measure, but fluctuations happen. I was going to do a couple of video shorts while Roommate was at his appointment, but I needed to run by Walmart to grab a Blue T-shirt as I have been wanting to do some political opinion videos with me wearing Red, White, And Blue shirts to represent various opinions that I am wanting to mock. But strangely when I went by Walmart there weren't any just plain blue T-shirts. I did come by some darker blue s...

Weight: 322.9 lbs ( 146.5 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: AI Pizza Casserole with Garlic Cream Sauce Dinner: Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 405) Keto Day 6 (23/365 Days 2026 Keto) Was just about to make an early post, but then the writing program decided to crash and wiped out everything I wrote, and took out all of the spreadsheets as well. So I'll have to try to rewrite everything that I had written before. I really need to learn to save more often. Thankfully I had put the weight for the day into my phone's health tracking app. And it is kind of exciting to lose 5 lbs (-2.3 kg) in one day. Not sure if that's going to happen very often, but I'll take it when it does. I did the grocery shopping for the day today as I'm planning on doing laundry tomorrow. It's still strange to use the debit card to pay for groceries. ...

Weight: 327.9 lbs ( 148.7 kg) BMI: 42.1 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: AI Pizza Casserole with Garlic Cream Sauce Dinner: Pork steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 404) Keto Day 5 (22/365 Days 2026 Keto) The nerd in me is chuckling at the number of days sober. Error 404 is what you get if a website is broken or if you type in a website address wrong. Weight's been tracking up in the last couple of days. More than a bit annoyed by that. Chat GPT says that it's just water weight from the Spaghetti I ate Tuesday. But it's just that I was 4lbs (1.8 kg) away from one of the major goals and then, oops never mind weight goes back up again. The AI is saying that the waist staying the same is a good sign and what I should focus on while the weight goes up and down. The first half of the day was quite quiet. Not a lot of people out after the “great blizzard of '26”. The roads are snow-p...

Weight: 325.1 lbs ( 147.5 kg) BMI: 41.7 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Snack: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages Lunch: AI Pizza Casserole with Garlic Cream Sauce Dinner: Basic Chili   Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 403) Keto Day 4 (21/365 Days 2026 Keto) Rushed post as I was closing cashier this evening. I got off at 10pm, but it takes a while to recover from working. I set up the chili before heading off to work. I took my lunch with me to work today as the snow finally came in and it looks like we did get several inches (about a couple dozen centimeters ). I was scheduled to work 2pm to 10pm but I left for work quite early to give plenty of time to drive through the snowy roads. I was being careful driving to work, but other drivers were irritating me as I was being careful, however other drivers seemed to be fearful. The speed limit is 30 mph (48 kph) on most streets on the way to w...
