Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Kroger Cheddar Bratwursts Dinner: Taco Mac and Cheese Drinks: Salted Coffee with cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Unsweetened Tea, Milk Sober Month 6 (Day 192) Keto Day 0 Had a hard time getting going today. Woke up with what felt like a hangover. Just couldn't get up and moving. It was 2 in the afternoon by the time I started doing anything. I had a stifling headache all day. I made some Taco Casseroles for the weekly lunch plan. The recipe says that it makes Six Servings. But I think that those are six servings with a salad and a veggie side. I went ahead and made two batches with two servings per dish that I put into the fridge so it would last me all week. It took me a bit longer than I thought it would to cook the two batches of the casserole which is strange because it was just a matter of browning the ground beef, mixing it all together, and then ba...

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: 335.2 lbs ( 152 kg) BMI: 43 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Southwestern Detox Soup Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull, Keto Week 2 (Day 19) Sober Month 3 (Day 113) YMCA: No The weight was up today. But still down for the month and amazing progress for the year. The bacon was looking a bit rough when I cooked it this morning. It was just kind of gray while it cooked. I don't know if it's going bad on me, but I'm hoping it can stick it out until Tuesday. I did get around to getting the guts to share my opinion on what is probably going to happen when/if President Trump gets his way with the tariffs  Amazing weather outside today. It was nice enough to open up the windows and turn off the heater. When I came home for lunch Roommate was taking a nap, but I heard a strange banging coming from upstairs. It sounded like he kept slamming his door. But then I remembered that I had my wind...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 151.6 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cheesy Chicken Chili Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Powerade Zero Orange Keto Week 3 (Day 26) Sober Month 3 (Day 120) YMCA: No It is fascinating when I put the link to the Bacon and Eggs in the top part of the post the link box will always try to bunch the words “Bacon” and “and” together so if I'm not careful it will show it as “Baconand Eggs” It is strange that it doesn't do that with any other recipe it's only the bacon and eggs that get smashed together. Another great drop in the weight. The short goal is 330 lbs (149.7 kg) Not sure when to consider that goal “Beaten” I don't want to say it as soon as the scale shows a weight less than that because it could be up the very next day. I think that I'll just keep that the goal until the end of the month. If it is under 330 lbs by May I'll change the ...
