Weight: 300.3 lbs ( 136.2 kg) BMI: 38.6 Waist: 50.0 in ( 127.0 cm) WtHr: 67.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snacks: Cashews, Savage Slim Jim Lunch: Italian Dressing Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy Sober Year 1 (Day 602) Keto Month 5 (Day 168) (213/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the last couple of posts done as I was rebalancing the allowances to include the credit card. Unlike politicians I don't have an opposing political party to blame any spending issues on. Exciting weigh in this morning. So close to that 300 lb (136 kg) goal. Exciting that this is a record for the year and at this rate I'm only a couple of days away from beating the average for 2015 Woke up surprisingly early this morning. (For me anyway.) It was quite gloomy this morning and it was really warm again this afternoon. I was thinking that it would have been really humid, but it...

Weight: 300.5 lbs ( 136.3 kg) BMI: 38.6 Waist: 50 in ( 127.0 cm) WtHr: 67.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Air Fryer Chicken Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 599) Keto Month 5 (Day 165) (210/365 Days 2026 Keto) It's so close. It's so freaking close. It is exciting to see the weight so close to the 300 lbs (136 kg) point. The last time my weight was this low I was doing meal elimination shakes that I bought from my sister. As I cooked and ate breakfast Mom told me that ever since she had let her chickens have the run of the yard they haven't gone through nearly as much of their feed as they used to. I do have to think that it must improve the quality of the eggs All day long today I had a feeling that I was supposed to be doing something, or working on something. Spent the day pacing back and forth between the bedroom and the kitchen thinking that one of those places had something for me to do....

Weight: 300.4 lbs ( 136.3 kg) BMI: 38.6 Waist: 51 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Air Fryer Chicken Snack: Pepperoni Mozzarella Rolls Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 598) Keto Month 5 (Day 164) (209/365 Days 2026 Keto) Of course I had to talk about how well I was sleeping in yesterdays post as right after I posted that I flopped around for most of the night. I just could not get to sleep. At first I thought that I was getting excited for applying for the credit card this morning. Then then around 2am I was starting to get bored. I don't know how one gets bored when trying to sleep. I think the lack of sleep really messed with me today. I really should have been more excited to have a weight this low. It matched the record low of the year so far. (I guess I didn't get that other post done when it was at that weight) But I really was just kind of flat-lined mentally ...

Weight: 302.6 lbs ( 137.2 kg) BMI: 38.8 Waist: 51 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Sausage Eggs and Cheese  Lunch: Pork Steak Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius, Sober Year 1 (Day 597) Keto Month 5 (Day 163) (208/365 Days 2026 Keto) The last couple of nights my phone wasn't charged all of the way so I've been leaving it on the charge plate on the other side of the room. I was listening to ASMR Historian and other science kinds of things that are supposedly supposed to help you fall asleep. But I think I slept better with the phone off and across the room. The charge plate still charges the phone even when the computer is off, I'm not sure how I feel about that. More than a little annoyed that the phone is still saying “Moisture in charge port” but the rest of the phone is working fine. This morning before work I went ahead and did the Preapproval for the credit card. It showed that I was preapproved for two cards. The c...

Weight: 301.6 lbs ( 136.8 kg) BMI: 38.7 Waist: 51 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Peanuts Lunch: Bratwursts, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius, Kroger Energy Shot, 20oz Dt Dr Pepper Sober Year 1 (Day 596) Keto Month 5 (Day 162) (207/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the post done yesterday. I was in a really heavy, “What am I doing with my life” mood. It was hard to put that into a post without making it so somebody who read it pretty concerned about me. The post as I wrote it kept coming out heavier than what I was feeling. It wasn't a very productive thought, but it was a hard one to shake. Was in a lot better mood today though. Very encouraging number on the scale this morning. Happiness isn't a number on the scale, but it would be fun to beat three "Short Goals" in one year.  Still was a bit slow waking up this morning. I did get up early enough to cook breakfast a...

Weight: 302.5 lbs ( 137.2 kg) BMI: 38.8 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Air Fried Chicken, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Sober Year 1 (Day 594) Keto Month 5 (Day 160) (205/365 Days 2026 Keto) I haven't kept track of my waistline as well as I have of my weight so I'm not sure when the last time it was this low. But I'm sure that it has been a while. I cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast and ran the Air fryer to cook the chicken for lunch. I noticed that Mom was trying to get the kitchen cleaned up so I took the effort to clean up after the air fryer and put it away. A habit that I need to work on.  On the way to work I had an errant thought. All of the reading online seemed to say that the cause of a low credit score is the result of irresponsible spending. But I have very little to no debt spending. Sure I had a car loan about 10 years ago, but that...

Weight: 302.8 lbs ( 137.3 kg) BMI: 38.9 Waist: 51.0 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Sausage Eggs Cheese Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Sober Year 1 (Day 593) Keto Month 5 (Day 159) (204/365 Days 2026 Keto) Slept a lot better last night than I did the night before. Whatever was causing that soreness in my belly seems to have started healing. Still not sure what caused it, but I did notice the soreness after I was at the DMV. So maybe I sat down too long and jumped up to harshly and pulled something? IDK, but it feels a lot better this evening. Probably because I got to bed last night pretty early I woke up earlier than usual this morning. The watch gave me a pretty low “Sleep Score” because it said that I woke up at 3am and for awhile after that. I don't remember waking up. I'm guessing that there was a system update and since it couldn't track my sleep it didn't think that I was asleep. I'm...
