Weight: 344.2 lbs ( 156.1 kg) BMI: 44.2 Waist: 57.5 in (146.1 cm) WtHr: 77.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Snack: Sea Salt Mixed Nuts Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sober Week 4 (Day 30) YMCA: X Finally some progress on the waist. I know that it's going to be a “Vitamin P” kind of thing, but it would be nice if the waist line was as dynamic as the scale. I have noticed over the last couple of days the gut had been more “Saggy” and soft. Good news is that means I'm losing fat, bad news is that it's going to start drooping under my shirt if I'm not careful. But I'll take saggy gut over sore feet any day of the week. And on that point feet and shins felt amazing this morning. It sucked last night a screw came out of the back of my computer chair. I was able to put the screw back in. And it seems to be holding, but for a while I was thinking that I was going to have to buy a new one. That would kind ...

Days Without Beer: 5

     The weight has been on a hell of a streak for the last couple of days, but that's probably water weight. It would be nice if that streak continued but three to four pounds a day just isn't going to be something that I see as something that will continue to happen. But being down 11 pounds since Sunday is definitely something to “Woot” about

    I am also kind of proud of myself that I didn't spend any money yesterday (Wednesday). I'm really trying to get my spending under control. That's one of the reasons I'm trying to get a meal plan going. Looking at my budget spreadsheet it does look like I spent money, but that's just because I transferred money to my savings account but, “A dollar saved is a dollar earned” 

    Breakfast was nice, I accidentally made the perfect over medium eggs. A lot of the time they're usually way too runny or almost burnt, but today they came out perfect. 

     Lunch was nice, it was the Goulash that I made for this coming up Tuesday's recipe video and this was the first bowl of it that I had. It turned out alright, a bit salty though. But salt is good for you.

    Dinner was what I call Queso Soup. That is basically my version of Nachos, just with a smaller Velveeta block and no chips. It's a good comfort food. And it was considerably more ketogenic than the ramen that I had last night.

    Coming home tonight and my ears hurt more than my feet. I was just so wiped out. I know that Mom is begging me to get to a doctor and has compared her experience as a “light turning on”. I walked out of the store seriously wondering how much of the feeling I was feeling after work was medicinal. Or because it was “Third Day Back From Vacation Syndrome” I don't know why when you're not in the mood for bullshit all of the bullshit surrounds you. Murphy's Law? And it was weird Bullshit all day. All day long I would stand next to people SCREAMING THEIR NAME an they would just not react. It seemed like all of Kansas is trying to checkout through the store, but my coworkers just seemed to be staring at the space between spaces. This could be a couple pages worth of store stories, but I'm just thinking that I need to get out of there. Even if I find a doctor, I'm thinking that this job just isn't good for my mental health.

    I'm trying to remember the first half of the day, but it just went so smooth. The only real frustration was that I'm the Supervisor I'm supposed to be the Supervisor, but they keep scheduling me to work almost every single other job in the front end. I get paid the same no matter where I'm standing, but it's frustrating that I'm supposedly supposed to be doing one job but they're scheduling me to do every single job in the front end.

    It was kind of a shock when I greeted a lady and her response was asking me me how long I had thought about quitting. Her conversation kind of sounded like she had just quit her job and she said that she works from home now. I told her that I have aspirations of being a YouTuber. She asked me how I planned on making money just by watching YouTube all day. I think her assumption was a YouTuber was someone who watches YouTube videos all day and I couldn't convince her that a YouTuber is someone who MAKES YouTube videos. Some days I think that success on YouTube might be a dream of a hope of a crazy idea, but I have a VERY long to do list that I want to work on. And heck at least I have one thing to work on that gives me hope for something else in my life. (wow, that came out over dramatic, but I'm not sure how else to think of it.)

    Mom sent me a message inviting me along with her to an appointment to the clinic that she goes to and I'm thinking about taking her up on that. I think it might be easier to ask the questions that I want to ask in person, and just showing up out of nowhere feels uncomfortable. 

     Another interesting thing is how my knees have been popping and cracking all evening as I write this out. They're not hurting or anything. It kind of feels like pressure is releasing.
