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: 327.6 lbs ( 148.6 kg)
BMI: 42.1
Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm)
WtHr: 73%

Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs
Lunch: Southwest Style Chicken “Detox” Soup
Dinner: Pork Steaks with ranch dressing
Drinks: Pot of Coffee,~3600ml water

    Grrr ½ pound (0.2 kg) away from the lowest weight so far this year. And that's just switching from diet soda and sparkling water to coffee and tap water. Oh and getting the hell away from beer. Even the “”Low Carb”” stuff. I think my body is getting used to the extra water that I'm drinking, or I got most of that water weight out.

Woke up with a bit of a headache and stiff muscles this morning, but it went away as I got up and moving. Wondering if it's more “Keto Flu” or maybe time to invest in a new bedding. The box springs is kind of broken down. Or maybe it's because I'm 36 years old and that's just what mornings are like for someone in their mid 30's

    Tried a new flavor of coffee, I usually buy the “Breakfast Blend” which is a mild roast, but this week I picked up a “100% Colombian” which is a medium dark roast, just to see the difference. The darker roast has more of a bitter flavor and the grounds kind of smell like chocolate.

    My smart watch decided to crap out. I was doing dishes and got a notification on my phone that it disconnected. And the watch face flickered and went out. The water lock on the watch was turned on so I don't know why it decided to die. It is two or three years old so it must have decided that was long enough. Or maybe it heard me thinking about my tax return coming up and got jealous of my shoes. I had to find my old dumb watch. I'm kind of surprised that it still works considering how old it is. Than again the only problem I ever had with the old watches were that the wrist band broke on them. But I needed a watch so I'm not staring at my wrist all day, and as a supervisor I really do need to know what time it is. But it's an old stupid watch, so it won't track steps or sleep quality or give me notifications from my phone. (That last thing might not be a bad thing)

    Like I said I would I put the “Detox” soup in the food processor to grind up the large chunks of veggies that were in the soup. I'm thinking that this might be my new favorite soup. And it does really make a whole lot when I make the recipe. Each serving barely fits into the freezer bags that I use. The recipe says that it makes eight servings, but it could probably be closer to 10 or 12.

     I do promise to quit whining about work, but I am glad that I got into the habit of running home to eat lunch. A few nights ago the girl running the self checkout told me that she “couldn't control her emotions” and had to go take a break. I don't want to be a complete jackass, so I let her take a break so she could get control herself. I think she told me that she had ADD or something like that, so I can see how she might get overstimulated and have to reset herself. But later on that night one of the managers in charge told me that she told him that she was having trouble because she drank four or five energy drinks that day. Hard to have sympathy for someone when they treat themselves like that. She even demanded to go home so she could hang out with her boyfriend. She was really upset when I wouldn't let her leave. But today the deli manager told me that when she was trying to “control her emotions” she was back in the break room going through the refrigerator eating everybody's food. Makes me glad that I'm leaving my food at home, and makes me think that I need to get a grown up job.

    I did overhear one of the carry-outs that I have trouble with talking with a manager about transferring to another department. She's an older lady who is close to retirement so she refuses to do just about anything in her job. She originally worked at the large store on the other end of town, but wouldn't work up there so she was forced to transfer to our store; and worked in the deli, but refused to work; so she was transferred to work up front, but refused to do her job. Now she's asking to transfer to the grocery department. I think she's going to be upset when she finds out that she will have to do work in that department too.
