Weight: 314.8 lbs ( 142.8 kg) BMI: 40.4 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Johnsonville Irish O'Garlic Bratwursts Dinner: Corned Beef Lentil Stew Drinks: Salted Apple Cider Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Red Bull, Sober Year 1 (Day 454) Keto Week 2 (Day 17) (61/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was a little emotional when I saw the weight on the scale this morning. 314.8 lbs (142.8 kg) is the weight I was when I started tracking my weight back in 2014. So that was the weight that I had labeled the “Progress Goal” as that is the weight that I started with so any weight lower than that is finally making progress. It is kind of funny that the Spreadsheet titled “Full Weight Loss and Projection” shows a completely flat line for the projection for the rest of the year as the weight is the exact weight as the beginning back in 2014. Sat around for a bit waiting for Roommate to say that he was ready to go to his *usually* weekly appointment. Then I noticed that h...

Decaffeination Day 2

Days without caffeine: 2
Weight: 342.8 lbs
Waist: 56 in
Mood: Frustrated

I have to say that I might of chosen the worst weekend ever to try to quit caffeine. Just like I said yesterday. This weekend is the first of the month, the weekend of the Super Bowl Sunday, and there's a rumor of snow this weekend. Such a weak chance of snow they aren't even giving an estimate for accumulation. But that hasn't stopped every single idiot in town running to the store to stock up for the approaching snowmageddon. And apparently the Super Bowl is the one of the biggest eating holidays. I have a running theory that the more people in a area the dumber the individual in an area, and MY GOD it was busy today. It really felt like every single person that went through the store was straight up pissed off. Some would say that if everyone around you is pissed, it might be a problem with you. But I felt that I really was doing fine (well fine when I wasn't having three or four people shouting for me at the same time) I did feel overly tired over the day.
My mood for today was listed as “Frustrated” because I really had to deal with three or four people shouting at me at the same time all day. Not sure if anybody got the joke yet, but I keep saying, “There can be only one!” But seriously do people not hear all of the other people shouting my name at the same time? And I swear the things people are shouting at me are basic things they should know how to do as a part of their jobs. Trust me there was a lot of material for store stories, it's a shame it was too busy to write anything down.
Had a hard time even waking up this morning. I awoke around 8 and didn't have to work until 9:45 but I did NOT get anything done this morning. I really just laid in bed until I had to nearly run out the door to get to work. It wasn't that I didn't want to get up, but I really didn't want to (that's not explained well, but I hope I can get my point across) did have a bit of a headache this morning, it seemed to be continued from the previous night.
I'm floating a theory that a lot of the headache from “caffeine withdraw” is actually dehydration. Or other forms of malnutrition. Because I know that I for one have not been drinking as much fluids as I would have when I was drinking soda. And this morning before work I didn't take the chance to eat breakfast and my headache grew worse over the day. It did get a lot better after lunch, but a few hours later it was back and really starting to get disabling. But on my way home I got some Sprite and my headache just disappeared. I'm using Sprite as a cheat soda because it's caffeine free. And I am feeling considerably better now that I have some sugar in me.
I'm going to try to wake up tomorrow early enough to get breakfast, hopefully that'll combat some of that hunger headache. One thing is for sure, I'm going to be glad when the damn Super Bowl is over and done with. I'm about done with these massive hoards of people shouting like idiots
