Weight: 322.1 lbs ( 146.1 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Boneless Rib-eye Dinner: Taco Salad   Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 426) Keto Day 2 (40/365 Days 2026 Keto) This package of bacon has a strange split in the middle so when I try to get a piece out it breaks in half. So it kind of looks like I had 8 half pieces of bacon. IDK I think I would prefer 4 full pieces of bacon. Finished the shopping list and went ahead and did the grocery shopping for the week. I went ahead and topped off the gas in the car and got a hair cut as well. I tried to tell myself that there wasn't a need to make the meal plan just yet as I will be off tomorrow and I usually do the meal plan on Tuesday anyway. But I had just finished doing the grocery shopping and the food was just sitting there in the fridge and I wanted to get the steaks and sausages sealed up in the vacuum seal bags. When I...

Weight: 324.1 lbs ( 147.0 kg) BMI: 41.6 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Rib-Eye Steak and Eggs Lunch: Mom's Chili Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 425) Keto Day 1 (39/365 Days 2026 Keto) That was a big steak this morning. It was almost too big for my cast iron skillet. And left the heat up too high when I switched to cook the eggs so accidentally overcooked the eggs. I didn't get the chance to finish the pot of coffee this morning. But did have a bit more than yesterday.  I was going to finally get around to editing one of the videos I had recorded, but when I tried to connect my phone to the computer the computer just didn't want to load the connection to the phone. And when I did get the phone to show up on the explorer the video only played the sound of the video but not the VIDEO of the video so I'm going to have to re-record that video. Which to be honest is probably for the best, that ...

Weight: 322.3 lbs ( 146.2 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Fried Chicken Pringles Cheddar Cheese Dinner: Bone in Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 424) Keto Day 0 (38/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was excited to wake up this morning to see my Federal Tax Return landing in my checking account. I went ahead and paid off the remaining four months of the car insurances and re-balanced my budget to hopefully have that budgeted to be paid off all at once in the six month sections. It is cheaper to pay it off all at once. It was just last year right after I had paid off the first six month section my car's oil pressure sensor decided to crap out and I had to pay an extra $455 dollars right after I had paid off the monthly bills and bought a 3D printer. I'm going to be quite a bit more careful this year with the returns and I'm going to be loading up the saving accounts like I was wa...

Weight: 325.0 lbs ( 147.4 kg) BMI: 41.7 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Rib-eye and Eggs Lunch: Keto Goulash   Dinner:  Smithfield Pork Loin Garlic Herb Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 422) Keto Day 1 (38/365 Days 2026 Keto) Woke up with a surprise this morning. I checked my bank balance expecting my pay check, but was pleasantly surprised to see my State Tax Refund is already in my checking account and looking at the record the Federal Return is usually a day or two behind the state refund. It could take up to a week for that to come in. But for today I was able to transfer into Bill Savings instead of from bill savings for the rent check that I'm expecting to come through this week. That's a really frustrating number on the scale this morning. Ups and downs happen, but this morning was one of the few mornings that I was more than I was at the end of last year. So all of the projections are going way up. At lea...

Oh, well, I'll just leave it as is.   When I got groceries yesterday I picked up a “Family Pack” of Bone-in Rib-Eye steaks that had 3 steaks in it for ~$42 (not sponsored) I thought about having steak and eggs this morning however when I woke up this morning I just wasn't in the mood for that big of a steak for breakfast as these steaks are pretty chunky stea...

All day long I had a feeling that I needed to get up and run to do that thing. I'm not sure what that thing is, but all day long I've been thinking that there was something that I was going to do or there as something that I was waiting to happen. Yesterday was really warm and calm so yesterday I had told my Grandma that I would come by today to take down her Christmas lights. However today the wind was blowing really hard all day today so she suggested that I come by some other day, and I am off on Friday so I should be able to come by then to finally take down her decorations I normally would have had the grocery list mostly planned out on Monday and do the ...

It just wants me to think that I was starting to make progress. I was scheduled to work 10:30am to 8pm today. I worked the longer day because I was scheduled to do some of the yearly re-certification training. But running the desk a lot the last week or two I had a lot of standing around time so I was able to finish the training lessons that I was supposed to have been doing today all of last week. Today was a real run around. I was scheduled to do the training for an hour and a half, but since I had already finished I just went ahead and did the carryout thing that was scheduled to do the rest of the day. But the lady who was working in a lot of differe...
