Weight: 310.4 lbs ( 140.8 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Italian Sausage Spinach Soup Dinner: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 469) <nice> Keto Month 1 (Day 32) (76/365 Days 2026 Keto) See, that is the kind of daily fluctuation that I'm okay with. Today's weight is only 0.3 lbs (0.13 kg) up from yesterday. Being up two to three pounds a couple days in a row and then being down two to three pounds each day last week was weird. Happiness is not a number on the scale, but it is a relief to be back under the “morbidly obese” number. I did go ahead and update the “Short Goal” down to 300 lbs (136 kg) When I was waking up this morning I was going to go to the Landlords office. I was laying in bed telling myself that I needed to get up and going. The lazy side of me was trying to tell myself that I real...

Weight: 310.1 lbs ( 140.6 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: AI Pizza Casserole with Garlic Cream Sauce Dinner: Baked Chicken   Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 468) Keto Month 1 (Day 31) (75/365 Days 2026 Keto) Whoo again bumping back up against the “Short Goal” I'm going to call it one whole month Keto even though it's still technically part of the month that I've started up the diet again. But I'm going to call each 30 day period a "month" I did the inventory of the food in the freezer and thawed it out again. It went a bit quicker than previous thawings as I had just thawed it out a couple of weeks ago. The ice had built up again so that the fan in the freezer was buzzing against the ice. Most of it had the consistency of snow, but it was still building up. I'm guessing that it might be because I have the freezer overfilled and there is more moisture i...

Weight: 312.0 lbs ( 141.5 kg) BMI: 40.1 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs Dinner: X Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Celsius Astro Vibe, Sober Year 1 (Day 467) (the number 467 feels like it has some sort of significance, but I can't think of what, perhaps it's the 67 meme) Keto Week 4 (Day 30) (74/365 Days 2026 Keto) When I got up this morning I wrote a note. All it had was a list of the utilities. (Internet, Electricity, Gas, and Water.) The totals and then halved that added in the half of the rent and left it on Roommates Table. When he got up this afternoon I expected a reaction. He was absolutely incensed. He refused to have any sort of conversation at all about it. He asked why he should pay anything. I tried to ask why I should be paying for everything. I don't know I might have considered some sort of compromise. But no as soon as he saw his half of the bills he asked how he was supposed to p...

Weight: 315.0 lbs ( 142.9 kg) BMI: 40.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Snack: 2x Cashews Lunch: Italian Sausage Soup Snack: Cashews Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 466) Keto Week 4 (Day 29) (73/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time waking up today. Spent most of the morning fighting the autopilot. I did manage to drink the pot of coffee before work, but even then I was just kind of barely above flat line on brain power. The Customer Service Manager was telling me about how a lot of people are due to do their yearly re-certifications on their computer training and names and terms were just kind of going through one ear and out through the other. I'm pretty sure that I got most of the people to do most of the training that they were supposed to do (I think). They do have a list so I'm sure that in a week or so they'll release a new list of who sti...

Weight: 317.2 lbs ( 143.9 kg) BMI: 40.7 Waist: 53.5 in ( 135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Snack: Cashews Dinner: Sierra Soups Mama Sorrenti's Minestrone Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 465) Keto Week 3 (Day 28) (72/365 Days 2026 Keto) Another jump again on the scale. And up in the waist. I'm trying to not let myself get too worked up about a couple of days of the weight being up. It is severely annoying to be not only back above the Morbidly Obese level, but back above the “Progress Goal” I'm trying to remind myself that the current weight is better than it has been in years, it's just I'm not liking the trend for this week. I know that it's just a couple of days, but I don't know if it's some kind of rebound or if maybe I've been doing something wrong or something. Reminding myself to take some Vitamin P as Dr Berry calls it and jus...

Weight: 313.8 lbs ( 142.3 kg) BMI: 40.3 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Snack: Cashews Lunch: Italian Sausage Spinach Soup Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Apple Cider Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 464) Keto Week 3 (Day 27) (71/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was so excited a couple of days ago. I even made a big social media post about finally being under the “Morbidly Obese” level. And the last two days the scales said, “Ha ha, no you're not” Still down 10 lbs for the month and 7.7 lbs for the year. I know that fluctuations happen and happiness is not a number on the scale, but come on I was making progress here. It's irritating to be up 2 whole pounds each day after being down to the lowest weight in almost 11 years.  I worked 12-9 today. I was thinking that I was supposed to be a carryout for the first half of the day but when I got to work it was revealed that I was in the desk the entire day. Today was a challenge as ye...
