Weight: 308.8 lbs ( 140.0 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 53 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Pork Steak and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken https://youtu.be/rfHQy-XdDxE Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 549) Keto Month 3 (Day 112) (162/365 Days 2026 Keto) Rushed post as I had started it quite late. I have been working on getting store story videos done. It is fun that I have two videos recorded so far this week and a third one scripted out. I figured if I get as many store story videos done as possible I could start getting some of the other videos that I want to do done. They say that to become successful on YouTube you have to pick a niche and stick to that one thing and that's the one thing that you do. To me that sounds boring. Although I don't know of any other channels that talk about a variety of things. But I do want to do Book Reports, and Movie Reviews and other Vlog Videos. I want to do more than just complain a...

Weight: 308.1 lbs ( 139.8 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 53 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Chuck Roast with Mushroom Onion Gravy, Salad, Green Beans Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Red Bull, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 548) Keto Month 3 (Day 111) (161/365 Days 2026 Keto) When I woke up this morning Mom asked what I was scheduled to work today. I was leading her along saying that I didn't work again today. She noticed that I didn't work yesterday, I didn't work today, do I have to work tomorrow on my regular day off? No I'm off tomorrow also. What's going on? I wanted to come up with something to mess with her, but I had just woke up so I came clean that I was on vacation. I do have to say that she picked up on it quicker than the old roommate did. But being more attentive than him is not a very high bar. Mom has been attending Tai Chi classes so I teased her about her going to Kung Fu martial arts class. While she...

Weight: 309.4 lbs ( 140.3 kg) BMI: 39.7 Waist: 53 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 548) Keto Month 3 (Day 111) (161/365 Days 2026 Keto) WTF is that weight this morning? The weight this month really seems to crawl down for a couple of days and then JUMP back up. It's still lower than the other times that it had jumped up, the frustration is that it's down, it's down, I'm making progress, I'm...oops never mind. Today was the Solstice. The longest day of the year. Technically the beginning of summer, although the days do get shorter after today. As the store I work at faces south I thought it would be interesting to see if the north side of the store ever gets sunlight. A simple point I'm sure. But I had noticed that at this latitude the sun never really gets all of the way to the top of the sky. That happens closer to the equato...

Weight: 305.2 lbs ( 138.4 kg) BMI: 39.2 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Sausage Patties Eggs and Cheese Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Pork Rinds Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Celsius, Sparkling Water, 1.25L Coke Zero Sober Year 1 (Day 547) Keto Month 3 (Day 110) (160/365 Days 2026 Keto) Weight is up a little bit again today. But well under the average for the year so the average is going down. Or at least I'm sure that's how averages work. And it is up, but not enough to get all that wokred up about When I woke up Mom was melting some beeswax to make some of her homemade ointments. As she cooked that she told me that all of the bacon in the fridge was frozen as when I used the last package I didn't take any bacon out of the freezer so I had some sausage patties with eggs this morning. I didn't take the time to cook the lunch before I left for work. I could have as I worked Noon to 9 ...

Weight: 304.6 lbs ( 138.1 kg) BMI: 39.1 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Pork Tenderloin Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Celsius Energy, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 546) Keto Month 3 (Day 109) (159/365 Days 2026 Keto) Another really rushed post. I was trying to get the Store Story video posted after work as I had forgotten to post it before work. But the computer was just crawling along. I don't know why everything is taking so long for it to do everything. Trying to think of what happened today. Before work Mom was suffering from a sinus headache. She's been having sinus issues lately and it's been giving her a funky mood as this is usually her favorite time of year. Can't really think of anything to talk about that happened today. It was pretty active because it was a Friday. But nothing really happened over the day. For lunch I had the other pork tenderloin that I b...

Weight: 304.6 lbs ( 138.2 kg) BMI: 39.1 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Sausage Patties and Eggs Lunch: Pork Tenderloin Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Celsius Energy, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 545) Keto Month 3 (Day 108) (158/365 Days 2026 Keto) Kind of hitting a writer's block this evening after work. I was scheduled to work a little bit of everywhere on the front end today. Tomorrow I'll be doing the same thing. I'm guessing that's because there are so many people on vacation so they need me to do a lot of different jobs. So this is going to be a shorter post as it took a while to recover from work. Another really good drop on the scale this morning. Probably has something to do with the fact that I had to wake up in the middle of the night to go pee. The scale difference of today from yesterday was about three pounds (1.3 kg), and I'm sure most of that was from about 3:30 am. I don't think I really ...
