Weight: 302.1 lbs ( 137.0 kg) BMI: 38.8 Waist: 51 in ( 129.5 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bratwursts Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Dr Pepper Zero Sober Year 1 (Day 615) Keto Month 6 (Day 184) (229/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was really slow to wake up this morning. I remember waking up to hear Mom talking on the phone with Step-Dad at around 8am, then I rolled over suddenly it was almost 10am. I don't think I had a hard time falling asleep last night. It felt kind of odd to cook “breakfast” at almost 11am, but I was starting to get hungry. Good weight this morning. It's nice to start the month with a weight lower than the start of any other month this year. I went ahead and updated the “Short Goal” to 290 lbs (131.5 kg) I don't consider the 300 lb (136.1 kg) goal “beaten” just yet, but it felt strange to set the monthly goal to only 2.1 lbs (0.95 kg) away from the current weight. Even after waking ...

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: 307.7 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: AI Pizza Casserole Dinner: Strip Steak Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 473) Keto Month 1 (Day 37) (81/365 Days 2026 Keto) Whoohoo another record down for the year. I wasn't able to upload last night as it was a bit late already when I got home last night and I had yet to assemble my computer after the move. I slept considerably better last night than I did the night before. The night of Saturday going into Sunday I just couldn't fall asleep. I'm not sure what the issue was, new pillows? New bed? New Room? But I was flopping around without sleep. The bed is King Sized, but I kept finding the edge of the bed and had to keep pushing myself back from the edge and kept getting tangled up in the blanket. Slept better last night, but was still really tired. I'm guessing that I'm sti...

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...

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...
