Kept telling myself that I need to get up, but body just liked how the bed felt in the morning. This has been the case for a while. I really need to find a way to convince myself that I need to get up and going when I wake up, but I lay in bed all morning long telling myself of all of the cool things that I want to be doing, if I ever get up and going. But then I lay there until I have to get ready for work. When I did get up and moving this morning my legs were extremely stiff, and it felt like something took a bite out of the back of my left leg. I'm going to guess it's an electrolyte issue. As any time someone on Reddit says something about not feeling well the general response is "

I was sitting here thinking that I was supposed to be doing something. And then, “Oh, right I'm trying to be a blogger!” Standing on the scale this morning was a bit disappointing. The problem with Keto is that it really only works when you're doing it. And I was doing quite well for the first quarter of this year. Heck I was down almost 20 pounds by mid-February. But I fell into the beer trap. And I just could not get anything done while I'm drinking beer. Beer is a downer, and I'm already a pretty down person. I keep telling myself that I'm too busy to get anything done, but in reality I'm just down from drinking too much beer. I was d

Weight: 333.6 lbs ( 150.7 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 57 in ( 144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Basic Chili with a few slices of cheese mixed in Dinner: Baked Bratwursts with ranch dressing and mustard Drinks: Cup of coffee with cream, Kroger energy shot, ~4300ml water When I woke up this morning my calves were still stiff and sore. But as I got up and moving they loosened up. My heels were still grumpy at me and I think that they will be with me until I get back under 330 lbs (149 kg). I think next week I'll pick up a pair of insoles to see if that helps with the foot pain. I'm glad that I have tomorrow off. I'm going to spend it here at my computer. Hopefully editing videos. But I might get into Minecraft and do that for a bit. A bit grumpy that my weight is up today compared to yesterday. It's only up 1.4 pounds, and I know that a daily weigh in will fluctuate, and I'm telling myself that I'm still down 4.6 pounds for the week and 3 pounds d

Weight: 332.2 lbs ( 150.7 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 57.5 in ( 146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cordon Bleu Soup Dinner: Baked Bratwursts with Mustard and Ranch Dressing Drinks: couple cups of coffee with cream, ~5000ml water, Rocksar Pure Zero FINALLY trash day. I had forgotten to take my dumpster out to the curb last week so it was overfilled so I couldn't take out the trash for the last several days. I'm a bit annoyed that when I got the initial trash taken out it half filled the damned dumpster. Oh well, that's another great thing about the meal plan, er, plan that I want to follow. It doesn't generate much waste. First half of work went amazingly smoothly. Which is interesting because I was running the self checkout for three hours. I still hate running self checkout. But at least with the mental energy that I have from the diet I was able to keep up with the whirling spinning dance that is running self checkout. Feet and calves are still very

Weight: 335.4 lbs ( 152.1 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 57 in ( 144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: X Lunch: Tuna Casserole Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: ~6300ml water Slept in a bit this morning. Good levels of mental energy, but my legs were telling me that I really should have spent more time yesterday sitting down. Didn't get up in time to get breakfast done. I was actually technically late for work. It was only 5 minutes, but you get a half of a point for logging in 5 or more minutes late. So a little more than annoying that it rolled over the 5 minute mark as I was logging in. So if that lady wasn't blocking the door to the back room, or if the hallway to the break room was a couple of feet shorter I wouldn't have been late. Oh well, I don't think that I have enough tardy points to get worried just yet. I think you have to get 12 points before they fire you. And somehow I don't think I personally am going to get fired because I'm 5 minutes late from time to time. I

I was excited that I woke up close to 7:30. I usually wake up closer to 9am and just kind of lay there until I have to get ready for work. (typically work at 11am, but I have Tuesdays off) However, today was awesome I woke up with the energy to really get going. Unfortunately it was chaotic energy so I couldn't find the focus to get anything done. I kept catching myself doing laps around my kitchen and living room. I would go into the kitchen to cook breakfast. But then I'd see the ingredients in the fridge for the recipes that I want to cook, so I'd think that I'd want to get the ingredients organized, but to do that I'll have to clean off the table, bringing back the thought that I'll have to clean the kitchen, but before

But didn't get a chance to edit it before I had to leave. Again I'm not feeling all that confident in it. Yesterday and Today I had wanted to get videos done before work so they were rush jobs and every time I turned on the camera my mind went completely blank on everything I was wanting to say. So the General Update I made today was me talking about one idea that I had and then, “Oh, yeah I was going to mention this other thing.” So I talk about the other thing. Oh, wait I wasn't done talking about the first thing so I go back to talking about the other thing. So the vid

I don't feel that it was a very good video. But at least I got the video done. I don't think that I put much energy into the video this morning. But I had a blast of energy as I was going into work. Which is not something that I get to say very often. I still didn't want to be there, but at least I didn't feel like a zombie the entire time. I had so much energy that I was actually outpacing everybody around me. More than one person chuckled at me because I was pounding the buttons on the register and waving my hand at the drawer because it wasn't opening up fast enough. At lunch I picked up some cottage cheese to go with the Lasagna soup that I had planned out. But the microwave w

I've been doing the daily weigh in and tracking that on (probably way too many) spreadsheets, but I just haven't been doing pretty much anything else. Not really sure why I stopped doing anything. I didn't WANT to stop doing stuff. I just kept telling myself, “I wasn't very 'Keto' today, I'll just do it tomorrow”. The beer wasn't helping in that area at all. The last several months the large cans of Natural ICE beer have been on sale for $0.99 per can. (It's not a good beer it's just cheep) And I have been taking advantage of this sale. And I have been drinking much more beer than that. As when the store is sold out of the Natural ICE beer I
