11/20/19 Weight: 340.8 lbs Waist: 56 in BMI: 42.6 WtHR: 76% Mood: Flat (but in a good way) Brunch: California Garlic Seasoned Pork chops Grilled 1.68 lbs Dinner: 3 Johnsonville Cheddar and Bacon Patties with Sliced cheese (2 slices of Pepper Jack and One Slice of “American” Cheese) with a bit of Ranch Dressing on top. Notes: I don't know if I can promise that I'll be all that consistent with these posts. Every once in a while I'll get the idea to do a daily food log / weigh in. but then it'll be several months later when I get the idea again to log anything in it. Today I decided to start this up again because I was starting to be really good on my Keto Diet over the last week or so and when I weighed myself this morning I was down 5 pounds compared to my Sunday Weekly Weigh In video. And seeing exciting progress I thought I would start up a food log again. We'll see if I can actually stick to a food log or not, but I wa

9-2 (ish) -19 weight: 341.8 Waist: forgot to measure, but I doubt it changed much BMI: 43.9 Brunch: Chicken Alfredo Lunch: Deli Baked Chicken, a bit of diet Pepsi Dinner: Fathead pizza, 25oz can Natural ICE beer Notes: I've been clumsy lately and nearly dropping my phone a lot. And trust me I DO NOT need that. Especially now that I'm using my phone to record my YouTube videos, and double especially I'm too poor to buy a new phone. I think if I ever broke my phone I would just collapse into a puddle on the floor. This cricket in my house can go all of the way to hell. I'm pretty sure that it was chirping the entire time I was recording my video for the Fathead pizza. Burnt the ever living hell out of the crust, but I'll add notes in the video. Kind of buggered the Keto diet for the brunch, but that was the last of the pasta that I had. There is a saying in my family: You're either wasting it in the waste or on your waist. And I hav

Weight: 343.2 lbs (155.7 kg) Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) BMI: 44.1 Breakfast: (X) Slept in and didn't get breakfast done. I did manage to get a weight in video recorded Lunch: 4 piece Baked Chicken some left over diet Pepsi Dinner: Spaghetti (I know it's not Keto, I'm just cleaning out my cabinet, I'm going to get a meal plan together tomorrow morning) 1.25 L diet Pepsi I love when the first of the month is a Sunday. It makes for a good excuse to get back into what you want to be doing. It just kind of makes since to have the first day of the month, the first day of the week, and the first day back on the diet. Got a weigh in video doe and uploaded. It would be nice to get in the habit of getting videos done. I love the feeling of uploading and getting videos done. I feel that I should be saying more, but I can't think of anything to say. And far too many people talk without having much to say. And I am tired, so I'm going to go to bed.

Weight: 339.2 lbs (153.86 kg) Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) BMI: 43.6 Mood: Energetic Breakfast: Chuck Arm Steak. American Blend Salad, Bacon Ranch Dressing, Broccoli Lunch: BLT Salad with homemade ranch dressing Dinner: grilled Sirloin Steak, topped with shredded cheese and bacon ranch dressing American Blend Salad Bud light Notes: I did make a meal plan for the week, but now we'll see if I can stick to it. It was my day off, and lately on my day off for the week I go over to Mom's to do laundry. She invited me to have lunch with her and we had a BLT Salad that was AMAZING. I'm not going to list my calories for today because I'm not sure she tracks calories for her recipes (and it seemed rude to ask) but her BLT Salad was American Blend Salad, mixed with some chopped bacon, diced cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, green bell pepper, green onions, and perhaps other items. And this was topped with her homemade Ranch dressing. And I have to say, tha

Weight: 338 lbs? (153.3 kg) Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) BMI: 43.4 Mood: trying Breakfast: Pot of Coffee Lunch: 5pk Kroger Cheddar Bratwurst, Bacon Ranch Dressing, 1.25 L Diet Coke Afternoon Snack: Leftover Pepperoni (approx 5oz) Dinner: can of Campbell's Chunky Soup Classic Chicken Noodle, 1.25 L Diet Pepsi Notes: Trying this again. Not sure if anyone cares, or if I should even bother. I tell myself that I'm doing it to get in the habit of counting calories. But I rarely get very driven to keep up on this. I would “like” to do keto. But that does take a bit of doing to get into the habit of eating certain things. And a lot of my problems in general is getting into a habit of doing things. My main problem is the sin of Sloth. I spend way too much time just sitting around waiting for things to get better. I'm starting to get the hint that it's not going to “just get better.” So I need to get up and start MAKING it better. Scale is ac

Weight: 330.4 (149.9 kg) Waist: 54 (137.2 cm) BMI: 41.3 Breakfast: Pot of Coffee Lunch: Deli Fried Chicken Dinner: Grilled Pork Steak with ranch dressing and shredded cheese Finally got around to doing a Sunday weigh in video. It was a bit of a roller coaster. Started off a bit frustrated that I haven't made a “weekly” weigh in video, but the coffee started kicking in and then I stated getting all hopeful. I talk a bit about my financial problems. I am going to get a fresh start loan tomorrow and I'm thinking of using this occasion for a bit of a “soft reboot” for my life. I keep thinking about what would have happened if it were more than just my phone breaking. I was able to upload a weight loss video didn't get around to uploading it until I got home from work. Grilled up a couple of pork steaks for dinner because I still haven't made a meal plan for the week. I don't work until late tomorrow afternoon and I slept a lot better last night

Weight: 331.6 lbs (150.4 kg) Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) BMI: 41.4 Mood: tired Breakfast: Pot of Coffee, Taco Chili Lunch: 4 Piece Fried Chicken Dinner: 5 pack of Kroger cheddar bratwurst 1.25 L Diet Pepsi It was probably not a good idea to drink an entire liter of Diet Pepsi before bed. I did manage to go to bed at a reasonably decent time last night as I went to bed around midnight. I'm trying to get eight hours of sleep per night. But I just could not fall asleep. I was just tossing and turning until about 4. And then woke up around 8. But I am writing this part around noon. And I still can't seem to get going Today was rough. It was really hard to get past the “autopilot” I worked 2-11 today and I'm glad that most of the time I was a cashier and he hour or two I was a FES I am thankful that it was slow. I think the main problem that I am having is that I just didn't sleep as much as I should have this week. Monday night I acciden

Breakfast: Velveeta Ultimate Cheeseburger skillet dinner Lunch: Zuppa Toscana https://www.galonamission.com/slow-cooker-low-carb-zuppa-toscana-soup-keto-friendly/ Dinner: leftover Velveeta Ultimate Cheeseburger Skillet Dinner 1.25 L Diet Pepsi I didn't get the idea of posting today until later in the evening, and I didn't weigh myself this morning. Earlier this week I had dropped my phone which effectively destroyed it, luckily I had phone insurance so I could replace it quickly. (It still cost $200 which sucks some serious nuts) An interesting thing about this new phone is that since it's the same make and model of phone (Samsung Galaxy S8) it knows all of my Apps (or at least most of them) So a lot of them are already downloaded and a lot of them remember my Biographics so all of the histories are already saved. But this is a good excuse to re-get into getting serious about Calorie Counting. Which I am catching myse

Waist: 55in (139.7 cm) Weight 328.6 lbs (149.0 kg) BMI: 41.1 Mood: energetic Breakfast: none Lunch: Ribs Snack: Pot of Coffee Dinner: 5 pack cheddar bratwurst 6 pack Coors light Okay, it's been a long time since I've done this. I never really wanted to stop, I just didn't do it. The same with the Keto diet. I new it was what I wanted to do, but I just didn't do it. And now I'm back on the diet and wow, I can feel a difference, both physically and mentally. I've been back on the Keto diet for about a week or two now and I could feel the day that I got back into Ketosis. It felt like a cloud flowed through and out of my body and now I'm feeling just constant bursts of energy. Although that could just be the pot of coffee I just now finished off. But then again coffee didn't used to have such a strong effect on me. There have been times where I've drunken an entire pot of coffee and then feel like taking a nap. But now I fee
