Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Lasagna Soup Dinner: Burger patties (grilled), Mac and cheese Drinks: couple cups of coffee; ~3600ml water, 6pk Bud Light      Woke up in a good mood. With the recipe videos that I recorded yesterday and the inventory I took of the freezer, I am stocked up with food for the next month and a half. So if I stick with the discipline for the next month and a half the only food I'll have to buy is bacon, coffee, and cream for said coffee. And the only dishes I'll have to do is cleaning off the pan I cook bacon in and rinsing off the bowls/silverware of the leftovers. That is if I have the discipline to stick with this plan. I know that it is a good plan because it worked before. I just didn't have the discipline to stick to it.      The “After Vacation anger” that I was expecting on Sunday showed up today after lunch. I'm not sure how much of it was me bein

I was laying in bed thinking of all of the stuff I want to get done today, but Tuesdays are my days off, but I have a lot to do today...repeat.      When I did finally convenience myself to get going I was excited to see that I was back under 330 lbs (149.7 kg) again! It's only by 3oz (90g) But hey, it's still under the last goal. Unlikely to meet the next goal ( 320 lbs {145.2 kg} by June 5) 330 lbs is the goal that I've been working on for the longest. And that's the one where I know if I hit it, I'm on the right track. When I'm not doing things right I'm never under 330 lbs. Waistline is up a bit from yesterday, but I'm noticing that the sides of the gut are sinking in again.

Weight: 331.2 lbs ( 150.2 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Bacon Cheeseburger Helper Dinner: Boneless skinless chicken breasts, grilled Drinks: Most of a pot of coffee; ~3600ml Water      It took longer than it should have to get yesterday's post written. I'm guessing that it was a matter of momentum, I hadn't written a blog post in a while so I kind of struggled with coming up with something to say and formulating those things into a fluid thing. I do have to say though; this morning writing all of this just FEELS good. When I try to look over this last week or two it's just a giant blank to me. But as I'm writing this down it feels like I'm contributing to something.      I didn't sleep very well last night. I was sweating like crazy. The strange thing was that it wasn't very hot last night it was only 63 degrees outside (17 C) but I was sweating like I was running through a boiling rain fo

W eight: 331.8 lbs ( 150.5 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 57 in ( 144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: AI Beef Soup Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: most of a pot of coffee, ~3600 ml water             Spent all day thinking that I'm going to get back into the daily blog thing. I was scheduled to work at noon to 9 this evening, closing the customer service desk instead of the normal 11am to 8pm as Supervisor. So I had a bit more time this morning to get the weekly weigh in video done. I'm on quite a streak on working those weekly weigh in videos. I've only missed one week so far this year.      Today was the first day back from “vacation”. And today went surprisingly smoothly. Today was the day before Memorial Day. And it was quite quiet for a day before a major holiday. And also there has been more than one time where the the first day back from vacation I've had moments of extreme anger flash up. But today was really quite chill.      I got a quite a lo

Weight: 338.4 lbs ( 153.5 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Spinach Chicken Artichoke Casserole Dinner: Bratwursts and mac and cheese Drinks: Cup of coffee with cream, 2x Kroger energy shot, Water Days Sober: 3    Finally got up early enough to make some bacon and eggs for breakfast. Also had some coffee with cream in it. I've grown fond of coffee with cream, unfortunately I used up the last of my cream this morning. (Didn't even get the entire cup drank) So if I get up and going early enough tomorrow to get breakfast with some coffee I'll have to drink it black.      It's said that a breakfast is a good way to get more energy over the rest of the day, but I didn't feel much of a difference from today and the last few days. But I am feeling a considerable difference from this week and previous weeks. It is quite a bit easier to get up and going when doesn't feel like I'm standing on electricity when I

Weight: 338 lbs ( 151.9 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: No Time Lunch: Cottage Cheese Dinner: Baked Chicken with Mac and cheese Drinks: Scooters Peanut Butter Crunch Coffee, a couple bottles of water, 2x Kroger Energy Shots Days Sober: 2      I don't know why the thumbnails for my blog on Facebook are showing the thumbnail for a weekly weigh in video I did a couple of weeks ago. I even posted a picture of myself in another post to try to get it to show that picture as the thumbnail. I'm going to have to do some research on how to select a lasting thumbnail.      The weigh in this morning was a bit disconcerting. I'm guessing that it was up because of how late I ate dinner. And how much pasta I ate and the amount of water I drank yesterday      Roommate woke me up this morning with a call. He was back in town for the week so I didn't have time for breakfast. He did have us go through Scooters for some coffee, I've never had Scoo

Weight: 334.8 lbs ( 151.9 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Slept in Lunch: Spaghetti Dinner: Chili Mac Days Sober: 1      Had a hard time getting going today. I have blankets covering my upstairs windows to keep the heat of the sun out during the day, I'm thinking that I'm going to take them down at night. It was hard to wake up with the room that dark. Didn't get up and going until almost 11am.      Since I slept in so late it felt silly to cook the bacon and eggs that I normally would have had so I just finished off the last of the spaghetti for lunch instead. Again not very Keto, but I still had that last half of the box of spaghetti     Recorded another recipe video today. But didn't get around to editing yesterday's or today's videos. However I did get a pot of chili made and did get around to taking inventory of the freezer and got a meal plan together. A bit frustrating that the only thing that I seem to get done on an

Weight: 336.8 lbs ( 152.8 kg) BMI: 43.2 Waist: 56.5 in ( 143.5 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Sausage and Eggs Lunch: China Star Buffet Dinner: Spinach Artichoke Chicken Casserole      Today was my birthday, and I woke up with the thought hey that's 37 years wasted, will I get another 37? I admit that isn't a very productive thought, but I just couldn't shake it. I know that the “mid-life crisis” isn't supposed to be the exact middle of your life. But I'm not very confident that I'll make it to 74. I'm not expecting or planing anything, but I have not been taking very good care of myself. I wasn't going to say, “Lately” at the end of that sentence, but I don't know if I ever took very good care of myself. Mom introduced me to a book labeled "Fear the Fear, and do it anyway" I don't feel that I've been struggling with the "fear" of doing anything. But perhaps the reason I haven't been as successful on YouTube as I've

  When I try to post a link to a blog to Facebook it seems to make the thumbnail the picture that was last shared on this blog. So let me try to make this my thumbnail.

Weight: 337.6 lbs ( 153.1 kg) BMI: 43.3 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Hot Dogs with mustard, sparkling water Dinner: Spaghetti with cheese    S as able to wake up this morning with enough energy to make a weigh in video. I didn't have that energy last week. I've been doing pretty good on the diet over the last couple of days, and I have been feeling a lot better than I have been. I haven't been blogging just because it really just felt pointless. Not that I myself am pointless, but I just couldn't think of why anyone would give a damn about the absolute nothingness that the last several weeks have been. And naturally as I'm sitting down at the end of the day to try to get back into the daily blog my brain has gone completely blank on all of the stuff I wanted to talk about today.      Kind of a bummer this week, it is the week of my birthday. Normally I'd take the week of my birthday off for PTO, but something happene
