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...

    Had a slow start this morning. Calves were stiff and sore. Feet didn't hurt that much, but both of my legs felt like they had mild Charley horses. I'm seeing this as kind of a good thing. Early Ketosis is known for muscle soreness. From my understanding this is caused by a lack of electrolytes. I took some magnesium and potassium supplements and put some extra salt on the eggs and bacon I had for breakfast. Being thirsty is also a sign of Keto, and I was able to finish the entire pot of coffee before I left for work. 

    Finished the editing and uploaded the Keto Taco Casserole recipe video. It'll be live this Tuesday. I'm not very confident about that video. I was distracted by the thought that I had already done that one and I just could not shake the lack of confidence of what I was doing. But uploading a video causes a burst of endorphins that is hard to beat.

    Forgot my water bottle at home again. I would really like to make taking that with me to work a habit but so far I'm making more of a habit of cursing halfway to work because I forgot my water bottle AGAIN. 

    Store Story today went live. It had a “like” within a few minutes of it going live. The last several videos that I've uploaded had a “like” like that, but only view on the video was only for a few seconds. I'm wondering if it's just a bot. A bit sad that I'm suspicious about a like, they're good for my channel, but from my understanding a view that just watches for a few seconds is kind of hurting my channel. Videos and channels are graded by watch time and percentage. If people are clicking away from my videos that is telling YouTube that they didn't want to watch my videos. So a bot coming through and “Liking” the video and then immediately clicking off of the video is telling YouTube that they don't actually like watching the video. I also seem to have a really high “Bounce rate” on my blog as well.

    My sister was nice enough to help me with a resume. She gave me a kind of rough draft to work on myself. I was going to work on it after work this evening. But I am just so fried out from work. It was definitely one of those days that reminded me why I signed up for Indeed in the first place. It'd be way too easy to make a very long post whining about work. I'm just so tired of being so understaffed already, and then people just don't show up for work. Sister did give me some examples of some other retail locations that are also hiring, but I'm not sure if I want to go from one retail place to another retail place.

    I did choose to pick up some hard seltzer on the way home. I know that I want to stop drinking alcohol. But today was a hard day.
