Weight: 306.2 lbs ( 138.9 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Snack: Cashews Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 478) Keto Month 1 (Day 42) (86/365 Days 2026 Keto) Another record low weight for the year. Only 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) away from the lowest weight of 2015, which was the second lowest weight recorded. The good news is that Mom's refrigerator is working. The frustrating news is that it's working a bit too well as the chicken I pulled out of the freezer last night was still frozen and didn't have time to bake it before I had to go to work. It should be thawed out by tomorrow I'll try to bake it tomorrow before work. I took another pack of chicken out of the freezer I'm planning on that being thawed by Monday Morning when I will try to bake that before work.  The phone still wasn't...

    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 been wanting to be is just because of the fear of jumping into it

    I had lunch with Grandma and Mom. I had decided to go to China Star buffet. Not the most Ketogenic choice, but I haven't had been to China Star since before The Pandemic. I do remember being it being a lot better than it was today. I don't mean to complain about a free meal that was supposed to be a gift. But the buffet was just various bits of chicken that was all overcooked and dried out. I've often heard that China Star is only really only worth going to if you're going during the major meal times, but I had gotten there just before noon. (I was running late as I had to run back home for a prop for a photo for the upcoming Mothers Day)

    During lunch both Grandma and Mom had asked me what I planned to do for my birthday and I haven't had much planned for the day. The thing was I just couldn't bring up the feeling that it was my birthday, but it just felt like a Tuesday. I am glad that it was a Tuesday, Tuesday's are my dedicated day off and I had forgotten to select the week long PTO for the week like I normally do, but I honestly didn't think that I was going to do much today. Mom asked me if I was going to do any recipe videos. I already have two videos done and scheduled. One of which went live while we were at lunch. I do have about half a dozen videos already scripted and ready for me to turn on the camera and start talking. (That's what most of my videos are, just me turning on the camera and talking) I did say that if I were to say that I planned on making those videos I would be lying. And lying really is the highest level of disrespect that you could do against someone.

    However since Mom asked if I planned on doing any recipe videos I did decide to go to the store and pick up some ingredients for some new recipe videos. It did take me a couple of hours after lunch to get around to getting to the store to get the stuff to cook. There was the “After Chinese food slumber” that I had to get through, and then I had to do quite a bit of cleaning to get the kitchen ready for a recipe video, but there was the issue that I had to search around to find a Keto friendly recipe to find. I did get a recipe video recorded, but as I had some coupons for some nonketo items I did pick up some items that would not exactly fit into my diet plan. (Naturally you have to purchase items that you have coupons for right? It isn't just corporate just getting you to spend more money right? <sarcasm>)

    I did manage to get one of the recipes that I've collected cooked and recorded. It'll be a bit before it's edited and uploaded, but at least I got one more recipe recorded and in the freezer. Thankfully I'm also off tomorrow (May 10th) So I have another easy Keto recipe that I can make tomorrow. And a recipe that isn't quite “Keto” but still some stuff that I could make with the rest of the ingredients that I have left
