Weight: 305.0 lbs ( 138.3 kg) BMI: 39.2 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: No Bean Chili Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water Sober Year 1 (Day 630) Keto Month 6 (Day 199) (244/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was able to wake up an convince myself to get out of bed around 8am. It was still close to 10 by the time I showered and started cooking breakfast. I got the chili cooked and the various foods vacuum sealed and put away. I ran into town to pay off the storage fee for the month. I had a strange feeling when driving away from the storage place. It doesn't feel like five months. Every time I pay the monthly storage fee it feels like a couple of days ago. As I was in town anyway I ran by the store to grab some cheese to go in the chili. When I got to the store a lady in a white Lincoln that looked a lot like my Grandma's car. The lady was upset that her car door wasn't opening. I don't kno...

Weight: 305.3 lbs ( 138.5 kg) BMI: 39.2 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Taco Mix Dinner: Mississippi Roast https://youtu.be/a2WBiX326Ng Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water Sober Year 1 (Day 629) Keto Month 6 (Day 198) (243/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was really surprised when I saw the time when I woke up this morning. I woke up a little bit and saw that it was a little after 7:30, I blinked, rolled over and then it was almost 10am. It was kind of shocking for me to sleep in that late. Usually I'm jumping out of bed around 8am. By the time I got up and showered I was having breakfast close to 11am. As it was that late in the morning and it felt weird to have breakfast as it was I decided to skip the coffee. I decided to go do a grocery run. I know that Step-Dad grabs some things for me when he does his bi-weekly grocery run. And I do appreciate the thought. However as I eat meat biased lunches I have to buy plastic flatware to eat it with. ...

Weight: 303.7 lbs ( 137.8 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Sausage Eggs and Cheese Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Celsius Energy, 20oz Dt Dr Pepper, 1.25L Dt Coke, Sober Year 1 (Day 628) Keto Month 6 (Day 197) (242/365 Days 2026 Keto) I don't know how it's been a whole week since I've made my last post. No reasons to not have a post lately. There were a couple of days last week when I worked later than I normally would have, But I had always came home early enough to make a post, I just didn't. I didn't get any reading done either. I've just been sitting around. I keep thinking that I'm going to need to do something...then I just sit here being surprised that so much time has gone by. I did manage to record a Store Story Video for next week. The video I'm going to post this week I was meaning to post a couple of days ago, but I just didn't. W...

Weight: 307.7 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Pork Steak Dinner: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Year 1 (Day 621) Keto Month 6 (Day 190) (235/365 Days 2026 Keto) Scale jumped back up this morning. I worked noon to 8 today so I had time to cook breakfast and have some coffee. I also took the time to grill a pork steak for lunch. I did get around to uploading the General Update video today. I kept dozing off while re-watching the video before uploading it. This was after a couple cups of coffee. That might be a bad sign. It kind of sucks that when I try to share the video link on here it doesn't share an embedded link it just shows a blank link. It doesn't even look like one that would be clicked on.  I was carryout all day. I was kind of worried about the heat and sunlight. But it seemed to turn out al...

Weight: 305.4 lbs ( 138.5 kg) BMI: 39.2 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Spicy Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Rib-Eye Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 620) Keto Month 6 (Day 189) (234/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good drop on the scale this morning. Not quite back on track, but good progress. Didn't wake up early enough to cook breakfast or have any coffee I did have a can of Monster as I went into work and had some smoked sausages. The store was quite active, but not as busy as the level of irritability that people seemed to be in. People were just pissed off all day long today. For a bit I did wonder if was just me being in a foul mood. But I didn't feel that bad it was just everybody was yelling at me. I kind of wanted to tell people to calm down, but that never has the desired effect. I heard a guy yelling in the health and beauty section so I...

Weight: 307.7 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Sausage Patties with Eggs and cheese Lunch: Pork Loin, cottage cheese Dinner: Rib Eye Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 619) Keto Month 6 (Day 188) (233/365 Days 2026 Keto) Weight jumps up, but crawls back down. Had to work a little earlier than normal today so I didn't have time for coffee. I did have time for breakfast of sausage eggs and cheese. Work was quite active today, but not really to a stressful amount. The stress was from training the new guy. Again it wasn't that he was doing poorly, it was just that he was new and not sure what he was doing so I had to coach him a lot. It is strange I've been supervisor for FAR TOO LONG at this store, but I am still uncomfortable training new people. I had some cottage cheese with the pork loin that I had for lunch. I tried to convince myself that I didn't need anything to go with lunch, but I wasn't ...
