Weight: 331.0 lbs ( 150.1 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Pizza Soup   Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 9 (Day 283) Keto Day 2 I was woken up in the middle of the night last night as my right eye and nostril were in a competition on which one could run harder. I took some allergy tablets, it is interesting how quickly those take effect (affect?) I do have to wonder how much of that is placebo. Does placebo work if you know it's placebo? Brains are weird. But it is a very strange feeling when the eyes dry up and sinuses drain out. I was too busy this morning paying bills, balancing and rearranging my budget to cook the goulash that I was wanting to. It was a bit annoying to see that it was already 10:15 by the time I was done paying and moving things around and I had to work at 11. so All I had time to do was cook breakfast and get ready for wo...

Weight: 342.4 lbs ( 155.3 kg)
BMI: 44
Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm)
WtHr: 76%

Breakfast: Bacon and eggs
Lunch: Instant Pot Chili
Dinner: Baked Chicken
Drinks: 2 cups coffee, sparking water, 4x Milwaukee's Best ICE beers


    I didn't quite get the chili done before I had to head to work. But the great thing about the Instant Pot (not sponsored) is that once it gets to the end of the time of it's pressure cooking it will depressurize and just keep the food warm. And the great thing about chili (not sponsored) is that the longer that it sits in low warmth the better the flavor gets. (I think that's how that works anyway)

    Ran home for lunch to have some chili. And in the instant pot it's only supposed to be under pressure for 35 minutes and when I got home it was kept warm for three and a half hours. It turned out quite spicy. Could have used a bit of cheese. But in my opinion just about everything could use a bit of cheese.

    Baked some chicken for dinner. But had to sit down for a while before setting up the chicken to bake. I am glad that I can bake it from frozen. It makes dinner SO much easier. Getting a bit low on chicken, but I'm going to go grocery shopping tomorrow; so I'll pick up some more tomorrow when I do my grocery shopping. I haven't decided all what I'm going to buy just yet, but the plan is to go grocery shopping every Tuesday because when I write a check on Tuesday it processes on Thursday and I have Tuesdays off anyway so if I take Tuesdays to cook the recipes that I want to I can get around to sticking to the diet that I want to. The biggest part of the diet that I want to be on is loading up the freezer and eating food that I've already cooked; there are so many great reasons to live like this its a shame to live in any other way

Was tempted to write about work, but I seriously I don't want this to be just, “Mark whines about work Blog.”

     I'll admit, I picked up some beer after work this evening. I thought about not saying anything. But a lie of omission is still a lie. And if my mother is following my blog as well as I think she is (Hi Mom) I'd hate to lie to her, and I'd hate to make her nervous about saying that I'm eating these Keto friendly foods but not getting any progress in my health goals. (not that I'm expecting results in one day) Heck, Milwaukee's Best isn't even good beer, it's just cheep. Perhaps if I get enough recipes cooked up I can get meals planned out and leave my debit card at home so I wouldn't even be able to buy beer even if I wanted to.

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: 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 ...

Weight: 341.2 lbs ( 154.7 kg) BMI: 43.8 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup Bar-S hot dogs Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Day 1 Sober Month 3 (Day 96) YMCA: No I legitimately cannot remember what happened today. It might be a short post as when I got home I did dishes, but some bratwursts in the oven and my brain went blank. I noticed that the weight is up quite a bit from yesterday. I'm not sure if that's because of the scale glitching like it has been doing. It did do that a bit when I first woke up, but it did finally give me a consistent number. Not a number that I like very much, but hey, that's the number that it is. And the waist line is up as well. But still under average.  Breakfast was steak and eggs. I had the pan a bit too warm so it got a bit smokey in the house this morning. Strangely the pan was too hot and smokey, but it still took a while to cook the ...
