Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Spicy Peanuts Lunch: Hormel Pork Loin Lemon Garlic Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 487) Keto Month 1 (Day 50) (94/365 Days 2026 Keto) Slept better last night...once I fell asleep. A little annoyed by the scale. Yesterday was up 0.1 lbs, today is down 0.1 lbs. Kinda makes you wonder the point. A “stall” is four weeks to several months. It was nice when the weight was dropping quickly, not sure if that stage is over for a bit. Who knows perhaps that time when it was dropping like crazy was the easy part and now is when Dr Berry's “Vitamin P” comes into play. Step-Dad was nice enough to cook breakfast this morning. Was surprised to see that all of the eggs were double yolked. Going to buy a lottery ticket. Trying to think of things to do before I go to work. But really couldn'...

Brain and body just weren't as tired as my mind. Weight is up, but not going to worry too much about 0.1 lbs Baked a pork loin before work for lunch. That might be two lunches in that lunchbox. Mom offered to take a pork steak out of the freezer for me. She said that she and Step-Dad will be done eating long before I get home so I can grill it myself. I was a bit annoyed by my phone as it wasn't perfectly on the charge plate last night so when I woke up this at 7am morning it was only 45% charged. When I put it on the charge plate it said that it'd take just over three to charge....

Still down 13.7 pounds for the year. Busy this morning helping Mom putting things away since the floor is all done. I was able bake a pork steak for lunch before work. Was a really running day today. There was a forecast of possible storms coming through today so everybody freaked out and ran to the store. I heard that a really good line of storms developed south of town. Mom said that Wichita got hit pretty hard. But as for our town it was just some dark clouds that developed and moved through. I do have to say that the weather that we got here was absolutely beautiful. It w...

Weight: 306.3 lbs ( 138.9 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 51 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 484) Keto Month 1 (Day 47) (91/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time falling asleep last night (Wednesday into Thursday) Just couldn't convince my body and mind that I was tired. Really good weight this morning. Not quite a record for the year, but not far off. Spent a lot of time this morning re-balancing the budget as General Savings had reached the “Full” goal. It's really exciting to reach “Full” on any of the savings accounts without it needing to immediately be needed. I needed to balance things out as since it was full and I don't need to add or remove anything from General Savings I deleted all of the reminders in Quicken of the transfers into General Savings. Now if I can only get Bill Savings and ...

Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Member's Mark Sparkling Water Sober Year 1 (Day 482) Keto Month 1 (Day 46) (90/365 Days 2026 Keto) Nice down on the scale today. Armpits haven't been stinging like they were a couple of days ago. But the front of my nose is strangely red. It doesn't feel burnt or sting or anything. It's just I'm going around like Rudolf Kept pretty busy today. I opened and moved the boxes of flooring titles for the guy installing the floor. Finally did get around to grabbing a drink from the garage during lunch. Again being careful to make sure I call it the right thing as “Member's Mark” is the name of the brand of the sparkling water. And “Maker's Mark” is a brand of whiskey. It does make for an interesting idea of “Sparkling Whiskey” That make ...

Weight: 309.0 lbs ( 140.2 kg) BMI: 39.7 Waist: 51 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Baked Chicken   Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 481) Keto Month 1 (Day 45) (89/365 Days 2026 Keto) Fascinating that whenever I have a new record low waist measurement it comes with an up on the scale. The weight is still way down for the year. Kind of found myself dozing off a couple of times over the course of the day. We were supposed to be cleaning out the dinning room and kitchen so the floor guy can come out tomorrow and work on the floor. Mom doesn't think that he can finish tomorrow so he might have to come out Thursday as well. I'm sure that he'll get a good chunk of it done. Most of the dining room and kitchen is just open area. There is a bit of detailing around the kitchen floor and I'm not sure how he'll get around the shelving where Mom kept her Food Jars as th...
