Weight: 303.8 lbs ( 137.8 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Snack: Cashews Lunch: Smithfield Pork Loin, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Boneless Rib-Eye Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 614) Keto Month 6 (Day 183) (228/365 Days 2026 Keto) That weight sucks. Sure it is lower than the beginning of the month, and WAY lower than the beginning of the year. But come on, I want to go back to being under 300 lbs (136.1 kg). I did manage to post last night close to the 11pm goal that I want to do, but then I played with spreadsheets for a while after that. I was scolding myself that I posted early because I want to start reading in the evening, not give myself more time working with spreadsheets. But when I did finally get to the book I came to the realization that I probably shouldn't have tried restarting my reading hobby with a Victorian English novel. It was a quart to midnight and I'm trying to wrap my h...

    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.
