Weight: 336.6 lbs ( 152.7 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 56.5 in (143.5 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Steak and Eggs Lunch: Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Kroger Energy Shot Keto Week 2 (Day 20) Sober Month 2 (Day 81) YMCA: No Causation or correlation? I have cottage cheese and hot dogs one day for lunch, the next day the weight is up. I have a recipe that I have saved for lunch the weight is down. I have Jalapeno cheesy sausages for lunch, the next day the weight is up. It's still among the lowest weigh ins for the year. And I'm still down 10 lbs for the year. I think starting tomorrow I'll start doing the tracking in my phone app again. Maybe start going back to the YMCA on Monday. I wont go tomorrow because with their Sunday hours they are only open while I'm at work. I'm thinking of trying to get into a habit of going into the weight room Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Maybe going to swim on Tuesday...

    Got the weigh in done this morning. Quite proud of myself that I got all 10 weigh ins and all the daily blogs done so far this year. I have more 2023 weigh ins done by the start of March than I did the entirety of 2022. If I keep it up, by the end of March I'll have more posts on here than I did all of last year.

    I came home from work for lunch. For the last several days I've been wanting to set up the slow cooker with a chuck roast that I bought a couple of weeks ago with a digital coupon. It was in the freezer for most of that time so it's still good. But I keep forgetting to set it up before I head back to work. What I didn't forget to do was pick up a pack of hot dogs on the way out of the store. I keep saying this, but I really need to leave my debit card at home. Energy shots, soda, hot dogs, spaghetti squash/sauce, just didn't need to be bought. Sure it was a heck of a lot more Ketogenic than the stuff I had almost bought, but I still have food at home. Food at home that needs to be eaten.

    After work I was kicking myself for not setting up the pot roast and thinking that I need something for dinner. And sure I have plenty of chicken in the freezer, but I didn't think about that. What did sound really good was some spaghetti. And even if I wasn't trying to follow the Keto diet, the way I make spaghetti really isn't healthy. (I usually eat about half the box of spaghetti in one sitting.) It took a lot of self control to not just say fudge it to the diet and try again some other day. But I settled on picking up what's known as a spaghetti squash. When this squash is baked the inside of the squash goes all stringy and a lot of Keto recipes use it in place of pasta. I say that the taste of the squash isn't bad. But the fibers of the vegetable just don't cook into the same consistency of spaghetti. They're quite crispy (lack of a better term) When I mixed the squash into the sauce it kind of disappeared. It wasn't like eating the spaghetti like I was craving. But the taste of the garlicky tomatoes settled that craving.
