Weight: 310.0 lbs ( 140.6 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Salad Bar Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 522) Keto Month 2 (Day 85) (135/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time getting going again today. Stayed up too late last night. I really do need to work on getting to bed. The sleep tracking app on my phone/watch says that I didn't fall asleep until about half past 2 am and woke up around a quarter to 8am. And even then it was closer to 10 by the time I got up and going. I'm going to have to start getting up out of bed when I wake up. I've been laying around too much. I did eventually get up and started doing laundry while breakfast cooked. As it has been two weeks between the last time I washed the bedding I went ahead and washed my blanket, sheet, and pillowcases. It kind of makes me nervous when the bedding is in the wash as it does make some...

Weight: 307.1 lbs ( 139.3 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Cashews Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 521) Keto Month 2 (Day 84) (134/365 Days 2026 Keto) Woke up early enough to cook the bacon and eggs for breakfast, but didn't have time to cook the pork loin that I was going to have for lunch. It wasn't that busy at work in matters of numbers of people coming through, but in the way that people came through. People just spent all day seemingly in panic mode. Of course I had to work on a Holiday. At least everybody else showed up for work. Had the same awkward conversation about five times today as people asked me if I was planning on going out to the lake. Nope, I have to work all day. “You're not going to do anything?” No I have to work all day. “Have any plans for the hol...

Weight: 307.9 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Sausage Eggs and Cheese Lunch: Pork Steak Dinner: Rib Eye Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Year 1 (Day 520) Keto Month 2 (Day 83) (133/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the Weight Loss Update Video done for the week. I recorded the moment of standing on the scale, but didn't get the vlog part of it done. I did think about doing it after work this evening. But considering the store story video took about 9 hours to edit a 8 minute video I didn't think that I would have time to get it done. And I definitely wouldn't have time to do a video and a blog post. Mom cooked sausage patties with some eggs and cheese this morning for breakfast. She cooks the sausage patties better than I do. I imagine that she has a bit more practice than I do. I did get the pork steak baked for the lunch break, it was pretty close to the time I had t...

Weight: 305.6 lbs ( 138.6 kg) BMI: 39.2 Waist: 52.5 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Chicken Wings with Homemade Ranch Dressing Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 519) Keto Month 2 (Day 82) (132/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get to make the post yesterday as it took WAY too long to edit that video. There is really no way that it should have taken 9 hours to edit a 8 minute video. It wasn't even a complicated video it was just me talking to the camera. The store story yesterday was about a guy who suggested that I had diabetes in my feet because my feet hurt. I was thinking that my feet hurt back then was because I was walking around all day on cheap shoes, eating crappy food, while being morbidly obese. But he insisted that I had “Diabetes in the Feet” because “people who have diabetes have their feet fall off.” I honestly don't know muc...

Weight: 311.2 lbs ( 141.1 kg) BMI: 40 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: Cashews Lunch: Cottage Cheese, Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Snack: Pickle Chips Dinner: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 517) Keto Month 2 (Day 80) (130/365 Days 2026 Keto) Really annoyed that BMI is back up to Morbidly Obese. I thought I had beaten that goal. Happiness isn't a number on the scale, but progress is a great motivator. I didn't get the post done last night as I closed the service desk and it was close to 10 by the time I got home and after baking a pork loin it would have just been a “Mark Whines About Work” Post. And I worked earlier today than I normally do so I was trying to get to bed. It was still well after midnight by the time I fell asleep. Which sucked because I had set my alarms for the six o'clock hour. I worked 9 to 6 today and ...

Weight: 307.1 lbs ( 139.3 kg) BMI: 39.4 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Sausage Patties and Cheese Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Vinegar Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 515) Keto Month 2 (Day 78) (128/365 Days 2026 Keto) Hard time waking up this morning. I woke up at 8am and just kind of laid there for most of the 9 O'clock hour. Again, I wasn't sick or feeling ill, I just really had to fight against the idea of laying around on my day off. It's my day off I should just relax. But then I knew that if I didn't do anything I'd get frustrated that I didn't do anything on my day off. Weight was up a bit, but within the regular fluctuations. I worked on a script for the store story video for this week. But did seem to spend a lot of time just kind of sitting around. I'm trying to convince myself that sitting around on a day off isn't a bad thing. I...
