Weight: 344.2 lbs ( 156.1 kg) BMI: 44.2 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Snack: Sea Salt Mixed Nuts Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Week 4 (Day 30) YMCA: X Finally some progress on the waist. I know that it's going to be a “Vitamin P” kind of thing, but it would be nice if the waist line was as dynamic as the scale. I have noticed over the last couple of days the gut had been more “Saggy” and soft. Good news is that means I'm losing fat, bad news is that it's going to start drooping under my shirt if I'm not careful. But I'll take saggy gut over sore feet any day of the week. And on that point feet and shins felt amazing this morning. It sucked last night a screw came out of the back of my computer chair. I was able to put the screw back in. And it seems to be holding, but for a while I was thinking that I was going to have to buy a new one. That would kind ...

Weight: 354.8 lbs (160.9 kg)
BMI: 45.5
Waist: 58 in (147.3 cm)
WtHr: 78.4%
Breakfast: X
Lunch: Lamb Shoulder Steak
Dinner: Nachos
Drinks: 12 pk Samuel Adams Octoberfest
mood: hopeful

     Skipped breakfast again. I did not sleep well last night, not well at all. I went to bed at a reasonable time, but just flopped like a fish the entire night. And when I did wake up properly in the morning I took a while to lay there and enjoy that I had a day off, and day off with a day off to follow. I did get some dishes cleaned

     September is technically the start of autumn even though it is still getting up into the 90's F (30's C) Thinking of that I was in the mood for some Chili so I went to the store to buy the ingredients for Instant Pot Chili. That is my favorite chili recipe that I have came across so far.

     I grabbed some other things that I wasn't planning for as well. In example I picked up a Lamb Shoulder steak, thinking that I've never tried Lamb before. Lamb is only sold (as far as I know) at the big store north of town and it is quite a bit more expensive than beef, so whenever I've came across lamb I could justify the price just for a curiosity. But this Lamb Shoulder was only $10 and that is close to any fast food meal and decidedly close to any beef steak. So I picked it up for lunch. I cooked it in my cast iron skillet. I'm not sure if I have the vocabulary to describe the meat. It was definitely very chewy, but that might have just been my lack of cooking skill. But I would say that the flavor is “lower” than beef. Not that it had less or worse flavor. But it's like musical notes being “lower”. I think I prefer the “sharper” flavor of beef. But Lamb isn't bad if I were to have to eat it. But for the cost I'm sticking with beef.

     I did plan on making chili for dinner, I did think about having chili for supper. But buy the time I got most of the dishes done. I really didn't have time to make Chili, even for the “Instant” pot version. But I did have enough time to enjoy some nachos. Not spectacular for my diet, but neither was the Samuel Adams

Weight: 333.2 lbs (151.1 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73.0% Breakfast: X Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Mississippi Roast Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Mango and Blackberry Citrus, Sugar Free Monster Sober Week 2 (Day 16) YMCA: no Woke up again a bit later than I would prefer, but I don't work today or tomorrow so there wasn't much rush to get up. But still there is a frustration in sleeping in so late. When I finally did get around to getting up I really didn't feel all that hungry. Dr Berry and other influencers suggest that you should only eat when only truly hungry. I'm not sure if that was because I had over eaten last night or because I just haven't discovered what it is to be truly hungry. But when I did get around to getting up I just didn't feel like eating anything. On the days that I do have to go to work I will have a breakfast before going to work, as I don't want to gamble with becoming “hangry” I ran by Mom's house to grab a c...

Weight: 330.1 lbs (150.2 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.0% Breakfast: Pack of Bar-S hot dogs (regular) Lunch: Fried Chicken and Macaroni Salad Dinner: Taco Chili Mac Drinks: Kroger Seltzer Orignal and Blackberry Citrus, Sugar Free Rockstar, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Week 2 (Day 15) Really slept in today. Not sure why, it wasn't really that late when I went to bed. Later than I've been wanting to, but not really as late as I have before. I woke up early enough to wake up properly, but not early enough to get a proper breakfast or do anything that I want to do. I took the time to scarf some hot dogs, but not the ideal breakfast that I would prefer. Work was a bit strange, people were acting like it was three times busier than it was. This became a really long “Mark whines about work” post. But I don't want these to be that. But I did get a chuckle at one guy. We were down two people because they called in “”Sick”” right before they were supposed to get t...
