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 ...

    Much, much better. I know that fluctuations happen, and fluctuations mean weight will go up AND down. And that's kind of the thing with daily weigh ins. And I know that I'm still in the upper 330's so a daily weigh in could get back up above 340 (140.2 kg) still kind of frustrating to be up above what I saw as the previous goal. Current goal is 330 (159.7 kg) Long term goal is 169 lbs <heh nice> (76.7 kg) And I know that it's going to be quite a while before I see that long term goal, but goals are important. The short term goals are going to be ten pounds each. Not quite sure of the timeline of the goals. I don't want to push an unrealistic timeline, but "a goal without a timeline is just a dream" – Robert Herjavec

    A quick google search says that losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.4 to 0.9 kg) a week is a healthy pace to lose weight therefore 4 to 8 pounds a month (1.8 to 3.6 kg) is a healthy rate. So let's call that the goal of losing 6 pounds (2.72 kg) a month. And I'll have 10 pound milestones. With a little bit of creative rounding that is a milestone every other month. Meaning I'll meet my long term goal in about 28 months. That's two years and four months. I'm pretty sure that's pretty close to my birthday 2025. Now THAT would be an awesome birthday present. I'd feel much more confident about that plan if I was as good at following plans as I was coming up with them. :/

    I was going over the numbers in my head on the way to work and I realized that I am currently exactly double of my target weight. And that is AFTER the exciting amount of progress that I've already made this month. Thinking that “Holy crackers, no wonder my feet hurt, they're carrying around two entire grown adult humans!” That's not even thinking of what my heart and other internal organs are going through

Ha, can you tell that I had coffee before work? I think the half pot of coffee that I had this morning was the most caffeine that I've had all week so far.

    Work was alright, we had a trainee checker. And it's kind of nice when someone starts learning how to check they schedule them as an extra checker and two of the carry outs knew how to check. So we had all kinds of help. And it really wasn't all that busy. Today was the frustration of standing around feeling that I'm wasting life just waiting for someone to have problems. It would be nice to have a job where you're actually working on something. Being a supervisor or a cashier is a very easy job, but a lot of the time you're just waiting for someone to come through. It's not very satisfying, there's nothing that you can look back at your day and say, “This is what I got done today”

    Coming home for lunch without buying anything still feels a bit strange. I had a similar thought each night when I pulled up to my apartment building and stop myself from opening my car trunk as I didn't have any groceries to bring in. The bill payments still haven't gone through, it is kind of satisfying to log on to the bank website and see that there aren't any pending items.

    Had a good chuckle when I noticed this evening when I was doing dishes. 1. I had the energy to do the dishes. Which was nice. (RIP that one glass that I dropped) And 2. I was drinking water like I used to drink beer and soda. I'd finish one glass of water and then go fill the glass again. Not really all that thirsty, it was just the glass was empty.
