Weight: 308.4 lbs ( 139.9 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Sausage Patties Cheese and Eggs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, 1.25 L Dt Pepsi Sober Year 1 (Day 532) Keto Month 3 (Day 95) (145/365 Days 2026 Keto) That weight is really disappointing. Every time I have a new record low it jumps up the next day. So it's up 4.9 lbs for the day, but I'm still down 13.1 lbs from the beginning of the year. And only 0.7 lbs up from the beginning of the Month. Still haven't found the newer tape measure, but the old tape measure was under the bed. I could tell the difference between the old and new because the older one has one of the ends coming off. Finally got the sausage box open for breakfast. But I got the feeling that I was only getting the sausages because it was fighting back. I didn't get much coffee before work though. I was in the desk all day again today, howe...

Weight: 303.5 lbs ( 137.7 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Pork Rinds Dinner: Swedish Meatballs Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, 1.25 L Coke Zero Sober Year 1 (Day 531) Keto Month 3 (Day 94) (144/365 Days 2026 Keto) Great number on the scale this morning. A new record over the last 12 years. Only 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) away from the lowest weight on record. Saying “Only” in that context seems silly writing it out, but so far I'm down 18 lbs (8.2 kg) since the beginning of the year and down 28.7 lbs (13 kg) from this day last year. I'm making some rocking progress on the scale, but I seemed to have lost the tape measure again so I'm not sure how the waistline is doing. I just carried over the number as that isn't a very dynamic number. I still would like to find it so I can measure properly. I worked 9-6 today so I was going to try to wake up ear...

Weight: 304.6 lbs ( 138.2 kg) BMI: 39.1 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Eggs and Slider Patties Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water,Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 530) Keto Month 3 (Day 93) (143/365 Days 2026 Keto) Really good drop on the scale again today. Almost back down to the record for the year again. A bit early to tell, but it would be fun if June had a drop like March did so it would have a month of a big drop that levels out, the next month goes up a bit, followed by another month that has a big drop. For breakfast this morning I was going to have sausage patties with the eggs. However I thought I saw sausage patties in vacuum sealed baggies in the freezer. But as they cooked I noticed that they weren't acting correctly for sausage patties. They seemed to start plumping up as they cooked, and they just didn't look like the sausage patties usually do. Mom confirmed th...

Weight: 306.9 lbs ( 139.2 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Top Loin Steak Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 529) Keto Month 3 (Day 92) (142/365 Days 2026 Keto) Heh, Tuesday is the second day. I was able to wake up early enough to get breakfast coked and get to the mechanic to get the oil changed. I was kind of nervous as they were expecting me to be there at 9am. And sure I work at the store from time to time at 9am, but there's a difference between being late for work and being late for an appointment. I was a little annoyed that I was five minutes early, but it was 25 minutes into the hour that they finally got the car into the bay. I had them rotate the tires. I had never had this done before because I was worried about additional charges, but as Mom and Step-Dad had bought the tires for me as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago there the t...

Weight: 307.7 lbs ( 139.5 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Cashews Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 528) Keto Month 3 (Day 91) (141/365 Days 2026 Keto) Fascinating coincidence the weight this morning was the same as the average for the weight for last month. It would have been nice if it was lower than yesterday's weight, but at least it's lower than the higher points last month. I worked at Noon today so I had plenty of time to cook breakfast and bake the chicken for lunch. I did work on the General Update video a bit before work, but most of the editing was done after work. And wow that was a bit of a squeeze to get that video done. It was almost 11pm this evening by the time I got it posted, really made me question if I wanted to make this post as I spent a long time today l...

Talked to Uncle about 3D printing he had gotten the idea of printing off personalized ammo boxes and gun cases for people. I do feel like that is an interesting idea and more than likely a market for such items. The trick is that he was wanting estimates on how long it would take to print items of certain sizes and shapes. I have no idea, but I'm guessing that it would take about an hour or so to print off the things that he would want to print. Had time thi...
