Weight: 311.0 lbs ( 141.0 kg) BMI: 39.9 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bratwursts, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 571) Keto Month 4 (Day 132) (182/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Once I fell asleep I was down, but flopped around quite a bit. Had a strange dream this morning. I don't remember much about it as I didn't have time to write it down this morning before work. I do remember that it took place in the house that I grew up in my teens. I remember yelling at Roommate about how he was having other people were moving in without consulting me. I remember yelling in the dream and jumping awake hoping that I wasn't yelling out in my sleep as soon as I woke up I realized it was a dream. I worked 10:30 to 7:30 so that was two hours after I woke up to do anything, but I just couldn't wake up. I had psyched myself against doing ...

Weight: 310.1 lbs ( 140.6 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Italian Dressing Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Jar Queso, Pork Rinds Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 570) Keto Month 4 (Day 131) (181/365 Days 2026 Keto) First time in a while when I went to bed and immediately fell asleep and then slept all of the way through the night. Tooth still hurt a little bit, not as bad as previous days. Again I thought about going ahead and skipping that dentist appointment on Tuesday. But that's just being cowardly. Tooth flaring up like that really needs to be addressed. It's just a new thing that I've never done before so I am a little nervous about it. I did sleep well last night, but the sleep just kind of stuck around for a while. I worked 12 to 9 and before work I just kind of sat here not doing much. Not really tired, tired. Just hard to build mental momentum to do an...

Weight: 309.3 lbs ( 140.3 kg) BMI: 39.7 Waist: 53.5 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: Italian Dressing Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Pepper Jack Cheese Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 569) nice Keto Month 4 (Day 130) (180/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good weight this morning compared to the last couple of days. Still up for the month, but sill 12.2 lbs down for the year so far. I've been taking a regimen of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen to keep tooth pain under control. Probably been taking too much, but will have to work until Tuesday. I'm not sure if it is related to the tooth pain, but I have been really clumsy. I cannot type worth a damn this morning. And was slightly clumsy all day long. I just couldn't point out correct things and push correct buttons. I bounced around a lot at work. I worked 11am to 6:30. When I got to work I was a cashier for half an hour, spent a couple of hours at Self Checkout, lunch, t...

Weight: 312.6 lbs ( 141.8 kg) BMI: 40.1 Waist: 53.5 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Dinner: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 568) Keto Month 4 (Day 129) (179/365 Days 2026 Keto) I haven't been posting the last couple of days. The weight hasn't exactly been inspiring lately. Not that I think I should only post on days that I have a good weigh in. The real reason that I haven't been able to post is the toothache is back. It's not to the shivering wreck that it was a few weeks ago, but I really haven't been able to focus on anything else other than the sting in the left jaw. I broke down this afternoon and scheduled a dentist appointment for Tuesday as they all seem to be closed for the weekend and Tuesday is my next day off. Not abundantly confident that they take my insurance, but their website does brag about their payment plan...

Weight: 313.6 lbs ( 142.2 kg) BMI: 40.2 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bratwursts, Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Skipped Breakfast again today. Seemed to react better to that today than I did yesterday. I still felt mentally low all day. It took all day to edit the General Update video that I wanted to have done yesterday. Not that it needed a lot of editing, it was just that I really couldn't watch it. I am not very confident in that video. It was kind of me droning on about some of the events of last month. Baked Bratwursts for lunch. The bratwursts that I cooked yesterday (Monday) were quite burnt so I didn't cook today's for as long. But I didn't let them cool before eating so that was a bit of a challenge because they were quite warm while eating. I did take the time to run into town to restock on Monster Energy drinks (not sponsored) for my locker. And there was a digital coupon on Johnsonvil...

Weight: 312.9 lbs ( 141.9 kg) BMI: 40.2 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: X Snack: Cashews Lunch: Bratwursts, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Powerade Sober Year 1 (Day 565) Keto Month 4 (Day 125) (175/365 Days 2026 Keto) The weight being up 3.6 lbs (1.67 kg) and waistline being up 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) kind of settled me on the idea of trying to do the TMAD diet. I did think about adding that to the title. But I'm still not sure if I'll be sticking to it. And Intermittent Fasting Keto Sobriety Blog seems like a convoluted title.  I baked bratwursts for lunch and had the regular coffee, but I skipped the regular bacon and eggs. I will admit I was seeing some weird flashes this morning. Just out of the corner of my eyes. Not sure if that was because I had skipped breakfast or because I had coffee on an empty stomach. But the flashes were quite distracting. Sometimes they looked like when in a video gam...
