Weight: 322.3 lbs ( 146.2 kg) BMI: 41.4 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Fried Chicken Pringles Cheddar Cheese Dinner: Bone in Rib-eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 424) Keto Day 0 (38/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was excited to wake up this morning to see my Federal Tax Return landing in my checking account. I went ahead and paid off the remaining four months of the car insurances and re-balanced my budget to hopefully have that budgeted to be paid off all at once in the six month sections. It is cheaper to pay it off all at once. It was just last year right after I had paid off the first six month section my car's oil pressure sensor decided to crap out and I had to pay an extra $455 dollars right after I had paid off the monthly bills and bought a 3D printer. I'm going to be quite a bit more careful this year with the returns and I'm going to be loading up the saving accounts like I was wa...

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: 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: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 4 Sober Month 3 (Day 99) YMCA: No Well, I took the car to the shop and when I said what was going on and I said that I'm praying that it just needs the oil changed the guys at the shop were really insistent that it was NOT going to be fixed by just changing the oil. And it wouldn't be a great idea to drive it back and forth too much. He did say that it would be fine to leave it at the shop until they get the chance to work on it. Some of their people are out of town on training so they wont be able to fix it today, but they'll really try to get it done tomorrow. They didn't want to give a time estimate without looking closer at the car. But they didn't seem to be worried and it didn't seem to be something that they haven't seen before. The computer ...
