I woke up this morning to a notification of a “Wind Advisory” on my phone we've been having wind gusts going up to 45 mph (72 kph) Back on Thanksgiving I told my Grandma that I was planning on putting up her Christmas decorations this coming Friday. She insisted that she did NOT want me up on her roof if the weather is bad. I thought about teasingly call her this morning and ask if I should go ahead and put them up today. With the 45 mph wind gusts. I know that she would have said no, but it would have been fun to mess with her. But I could just not wake up today. I had the regular bacon and eggs for breakfast. With breakfast I put a pack of Hot Chocolate...

Decaffeination Day 5

-
Weight: 343.0 lbs
Waist: 56 in
Mood: chilled

Almost didn't get around to posting today. I thought I would take the day I got off to rearrange my living room. I have been meaning to do this for a really long time. (Mostly in the winter, my computer is next to the window and it gets REALLY cold) And it is fascinating to me that I have finally found the time and energy to do something that I've been meaning to do for a couple of years now that I am not drinking a lot of stimulants. There was a lot of other, arguably more important, things I could have been doing with my day off today. But hey at least I'm away from the damn window.
I did gain a little bit of weight for today's weigh in because fairly late in the day I thought of doing the drink one gallon a day of water tip I have seen a lot of.
I did manage to buy the fruit I need for the breakfast smoothies I want to be drinking. The smoothies are a combination of Avocado, Banana, Kale, and Pear. I like to mix up the fourth ingredient. The standard smoothie is avocado, banana, kale, with a cup of milk and a scoop of Vega protein shake. I used to buy Shaklee shakes. However they got too expensive to buy regularly.
I did gain a few pounds today, but again that is just a lot of the water I drank this evening. I only drank half a gallon so far. But I have really been sucking it down. I have large red cups, but I drain one in one go. I must have been getting thirsty since I have quit drinking soda. I haven't really noticed any symptoms of dehydration, but I haven't really been looking. I looked up how much water a person is supposed to be drinking per day. There doesn't seem to be much consensus. One person I read said that they suggest a half of an ounce per pound of someone's body weight I'll see what I can do on that, but that equates to one and a third gallons of water a day for me. And that seems like a lot of water.
I think that's going to be it for tonight. I have to put my living room back together.

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 ...

Weight: 330.4 lbs ( 149.9 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Pizza Soup   Dinner: Chuck Roast Mushroom Gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Powerade Zero Orange Sober Month 7 (Day 220) Keto Day 3 Woke up with some itchy fingers this morning. Not in the greedy sort of way, but in the something bit me kind of way. There's a bright red spot on the base of my thumb and on the top of my right pointer finger whenever I wash my hands. Over the day the level of itch was low enough that it wasn't really that distracting. But if I was standing around not doing anything I would catch myself picking at my finger. Kind of surprised to see the weight progress over the last couple of days. Almost seems to be back on track. There's been a bit of a weight loss plateau over the last couple of months. Not sure if that's because I'm not following the diet as well as I would have liked, or some other issue. Yes...
