Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Pizza Pasta Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Mocha Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 11 (Day 336) Woke up this morning with what felt like a hangover. My head feels like it was hit by a baseball bat from the inside. And my legs are stiff and sore. My throat was sore the last couple of days, it doesn't hurt this morning so I don't think that I'm getting sick, I just think that I overate yesterday and I'm recovering today. I wasn't looking forward to going to work this morning. I thought that I was working the self checkout lunch. I wasn't feeling good and I wasn't looking forward to dealing with other people who are also probably recovering from over eating yesterday. I knew that I feel bad, and I don't know if other people will realize that they feel bad and will try to blame everybody else for the way they feel...

     I actually had time this morning before work to sit around. 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 doing laundry yesterday at Mom's house and she is really nervous about my drinking. (To be fair, so am I) I thought about skipping the blog again today, but if I only do this when I'm doing good on my diet, I'd never do it.

     For breakfast I cooked up the last of the sausage patties that I had in the freezer. When they were cooking they did release some grease so I didn't add any fat to the pan when I tried to fry the eggs. Unfortunately for when I get the time to clean the pan I really should have added a bit of butter or something because they really stuck bad to the pan. It is a cast iron skillet so there's no damage to the pan, and cast iron pans are pretty easy to clean, but it's going to take some elbow grease to get those eggs off.

     I keep saying that I don't want this to be the “Mark complains about work blog” I really don't want this to be that, but when I got to work there was a bit of frustration dealing with people, but I think that had to do a lot with the fact that today was the first time in a while that I had coffee before work, and I had an entire pot of it. It was one of those days when I did need a lot of energy, but my mind was not in a good place. I was getting angry and frustrated at everyone and everything around me. As the coffee wore off I calmed down. I just hope that the elderly people I was getting angry at just assumed that I was just trying to be heard and not actually yelling at them. (Like I actually was)

     Lunch was Low Carb Jambalaya, it is an interestingly spicy dish. Not spicy as in high temperature, but there is a lot of flavor to it. The shrimp in it has gone rubbery though. I think I should have cut them up into smaller bits. I'm not sure if their toughness was because of how they were cooked, if it was because the meal was previously frozen, or if that's just how shrimp is. Had a good chuckle at myself when I realized that those green peppers in the dish that I was having trouble with were bell peppers. I had a bag of chips and a can of soda because I met a work goal and they are handing out snacks for the people who meet a scanning goal. And sure they weren't very “Keto” but I was good for the rest of the day. And I'm not going to punish myself for having a can of soda and a small bag of chips.

     Feet and lower legs were really grumpy with me during the second half of the day. Er, well, “Second half” because they had split my hours into a 5 hours and then 3 hour day. Everything went smooth and there really wasn't anything to complain about except my feet and calves were screaming that I need to get back on my diet. Perhaps if I get back to focusing on my blog I'll stick to the diet.

     Baked chicken for dinner, a coworker of mine (who also happens to be white) told me that it is the whitest way to ever cook chicken. Honestly I really don't care, it was nice to sit down while it baked.
