Weight: 326.4 lbs ( 148.0 kg) BMI: 41.9 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Instant Pot Chili   Dinner: Bratwursts   Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster Sober Month 10 (Day 318) Woke up at around 7:30 so I guess I am starting to get used to the time change. Some people get really up in arms about the Daylight Savings Time changing back and forth, I am flexible enough to not be too bothered about it. It is a strange concept though. I got the email this morning that the pants that I ordered the other day had finally shipped. Err “finally” I had just ordered the pants on Thursday and they're due to come in tomorrow. What was kind of confusing is that the email says that they're being shipped by the USPS and they're still scheduled to be delivered on Sunday. I didn't think that the United States Postal Service delivered anything on Sundays, but looking it up, yes they do deliver on Sunday but it is limited to “Expre...

suddenly glad my house didn't burn down

a couple of days ago I was baking chicken for lunch and after it got done cooking the oven made this nasty crunchy buzzing noise and the bottom heating element melted down.  Landlord looked at it last night and determined that it just needed a new heating element,  it seemed like it would have been an extremely easy fix.

 If it would have worked. 

but when he installed the new heating element this afternoon the indicator light came on and the oven started heating up like it was baking.  Except that it was turned to off.  That was a pretty good indication that there was something seriously wrong with the entire appliance.  Within a couple of hours he was back with a whole new oven.  To which I am supremely grateful.  On a lower level of thought I was afraid that he would present me with a bill after he was done installing the new stove, but he really isn't that kind of guy and he didn't mention anything when he was done. (which was great because money is tight enough as it is).  It wasn't until after he left that I got the idea that holy crap the oven was just sending electricity through the machine without it being turned on and all of the horrible things that could have happened with that situation.  But hey, at least I have a new thing to play with.

but hey, now that thing is taken care of I can go back to not focusing on getting my videos done.

Weight: 332.4 lbs ( 150.7 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 77.5% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Keto Clam Chowder Dinner: Pork Spare Ribs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull, Keto Week 2 (Day 17) Sober Month 3 (Day 111) YMCA: No Another decent drop in weight again today. But than again the scale was a bit glitchy again today. So who knows. It is annoying that the last time there was a record low the scale was glitching and then today there was another record low, and it's glitching again today. I was going to test the scale a bit more, but Roommate was already up and awake. Finally got around to making the second batch of Clam Chowder. I've been trying to cook that stew for little over a week now. Every time I tried cooking I was short an ingredient. I'd go to the store to get the ingredient, but then I'd be missing another ingredient. And it'd seem to be silly to go grab just one thing. And then the next day an ingredient ...

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 4 Sober Month 3 (Day 99) YMCA: No Well, I took the car to the shop and when I said what was going on and I said that I'm praying that it just needs the oil changed the guys at the shop were really insistent that it was NOT going to be fixed by just changing the oil. And it wouldn't be a great idea to drive it back and forth too much. He did say that it would be fine to leave it at the shop until they get the chance to work on it. Some of their people are out of town on training so they wont be able to fix it today, but they'll really try to get it done tomorrow. They didn't want to give a time estimate without looking closer at the car. But they didn't seem to be worried and it didn't seem to be something that they haven't seen before. The computer ...

On Sunday Mom threw a party for Grandma as it was Grandma's 80th birthday. And after the party I was in a strange mood. I sat down and I just didn't wanta. I didn't wana anything. I'm not sure what that mood came from. I don't know if it was because of all of the family members that I was supposed to know, but didn't know. All of the stuff people were talking about progressing their lives and I'm just still sitting here just trying to get my bills paid. I know this blog is about me. But it didn't feel right to make a post saying, “Yay, I went to Grandma's Birthday, and now I'm sad” I feel guilty for tha...
