Weight: 312.4 lbs ( 141.7 kg) BMI: 40.1 Waist: 53.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Paleo Keto Gumbo   Dinner: Bone In Strip Steak Drinks: Salted Apple Cider Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 460) Keto Week 3 (Day 23) (67/365 Days 2026 Keto) When I stood on the scale this morning I was stunned by the number. I even moved it around to make sure that there wasn't anything stuck underneath it. I think I can go ahead and say that I beat the “progress goal” and I'm about a pound or two away from no longer being Morbidly Obese! I'm sorry, “severe obese” because people got offended by the “morbid” in the title “morbidly obese” Really annoyed at the waist being up. That's up to where it was at the beginning of the year so that projection is flat.  Wow today was not a very productive day. I just sat here at the computer staring at spreadsheets. I finished off the Gumbo and picked out the recipe that I'll make tomorrow for...

Left Vs Right Gun Fallacies

-
I don't know of a solution. Or even if there IS a solution. But in my own opinion maybe looking to Washington for solutions might be looking in the wrong direction.

One half of the debate wants to blame guns. "Just ban all guns, if we get rid of all of every single gun and then nobody will ever get shot"

The problem with this argument (apart from the massive numbers of guns out there) is that the second amendment of the constitution allows for the ownership of guns. They can not legally make a law banning everyone from owning guns. I guess "in theory" this "could" change. But they couldn't even do their jobs enough to keep the government from shutting down TWICE this year. Getting enough political clout to change the BILL OF RIGHTS isn't going to happen.

The other half of the debate wants to make it a mental health issue. They claim, "It's just a crazy person with a gun"

the problem with this side is that if there wasn't a mass shooting recently they would go out of their way to discredit mental health issues. They are constantly cutting funding and access to mental help. There was actually a law keeping people with histories of mental health from buying weapons. The law was repealed. It is kind of hard to take them seriously when they claim that they want to keep people with mental issues from shooting other people when they repeal laws about keeping mentally disturbed people from having guns.

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: 324.1 lbs ( 147 kg) BMI: 41.6 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Enchilada Soup   Dinner: Grilled Bone In Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 379) Keto Day 2 The store was too busy to take many notes during the day and I spent, probably, too much time this evening getting the weigh in spreadsheets ready for the new year. Roommate was up all night last night screaming in pain. I'm a bit nervous to ask him what's wrong, only because I'm pretty sure that I already know. I'm willing to bet that his problems are something to do with his “Werther's Original Meal Replacement Plan” he's never been a big fan of the Keto/carnivore diets (The Proper Human Diet as Dr Berry calls them). He came up with the idea of whenever he gets hungry, instead of eating he'll have a piece of candy instead of eating real food. Kind of like how when people try to quit smoking they suck...

Weight: 321.5 lbs ( 145.8 kg) BMI: 41.3 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Snack: Black Eye Peas Breakfast: Members Mark Hot Dogs Lunch: Johnsonville Beddar with Cheddar double cheddar smoked sausages Snack: Bar-S Jumbo Jumbo Hot Dogs Dinner: Christmas at Grandmas Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 380) Keto Day 0 Had a hard time falling asleep last night, but was still able to wake up and get to work on time. Really good drop on the scale this morning. I haven't started a year under 330 (149.7 kg) since 2015. I've been lower in weight a couple of times last year. But I haven't been this constantly low for quite some time. I went ahead and updated my current goal to 310 (140.6 kg) as it's so close to the 320lb (145.2 kg) goal that it seemed silly to set that goal for the new month.  Roommate had started a tradition of eating a can of black eyed peas right at midnight. And eating an entire can of beans right before made me wake up with...
