I have cottage cheese and hot dogs one day for lunch, the next day the weight is up. I have a recipe that I have saved for lunch the weight is down. I have Jalapeno cheesy sausages for lunch, the next day the weight is up. It's still among the lowest weigh ins for the year. And I'm still down 10 lbs for the year. I think starting tomorrow I'll start doing the tracking in my phone app again. Maybe start going back to the YMCA on Monday. I wont go tomorrow because with their Sunday hours they are only open while I'm at work. I'm thinking of trying to get into a habit of going into the weight room Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Maybe going to swim on Tuesday...

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 feel like I'm going to go dancing on the ceiling.
And then I went to work. I was scheduled to be off today. But one of my coworkers had pink eye so show couldn't work. And there are only so many people that can close the customer service desk. And I am kind of desperate for hours right now. So I went from having the day off to the better part of 5 hours yelling at people just to be heard. Dealing with one supervisor pretending that she's just a cashier and just checking the entire time and then getting relived by another supervisor that acted like a carryout. And just bagged groceries for her shift. Both seemed completely oblivious to their job. And it seemed like the entire town was in the store buying groceries. I really don't want this to be a blog where I just complained about my job (I have a YouTube series for that) But it really is soul crushing to be “dancing on the ceiling” kind of mood, and then a few hours later you are not even sure if you want to BE anymore. A really hard thing to deal with was it is Friday and quite a few people were taking their paychecks in to be cashed and there were some 19 year old's coming in with $700-$1,000 paychecks. And on my best weeks I barely make half of the lower range on that. It is possible that they are payed biweekly, but it still hurts that I've worked at this store for this long and I'm just barely getting by paycheck to paycheck and some kid comes in and gets a single paycheck for the amount I get in a month.
And I know that a six pack of Coors light isn't exactly Keto friendly, but I was really “thirsty” when I got off of work. And I realize that is really starting to become a problem for me. On the first of April 2019 here in Kansas grocery stores were allowed to start selling full strength beer before we were only allowed to sell 3.2% alcohol beer and now I have been buying and drinking WAY too much beer. This is concerning, not only because of the Keto thing, but because of the financial thing. And I have some rather unfortunate history with alcohol in my family. I'm not even particularly fond of the feeling of intoxication, but I just feel like I want to pick up a pack on the way out of the store. I think I'm going to start leaving my cash and debit card at home if I can't trust myself to not buy a $8-$9 pack of beer every time I work.
I did manage to go a full day without buying an energy shot so that is kind of exciting
