I keep catching myself just sitting here at the computer. I blink and it seems to be an hour and a half later. It was quite busy today at work. But the day went smoothly. There was a moment of frustration a kid that was supposed to work yesterday who had a doctors note about not being able to work for the next week or so. The manager didn't bother telling anybody until about an hour before he was supposed to come in to tell anybody that he wasn't going to be able to come in. Thankfully they were able to convince one person to stay late and another to come in on her day off. The frustration there was the guy...

Put a lot of effort into making the Store Story today. So this might not be a very long post.

It's a bit concerning that I am up 4.4 pounds compared to yesterday. I do realize that there will be daily fluctuations, but it does make me wonder for an explanation. I don't think I ate four pounds of cheese last night when I had the Queso Soup. Could it be the Cheesy Ramen that I had for dinner on Wednesday? Would that have broken my Ketosis and have me start retaining water? All of the other food I have in my fridge/freezer is Keto friendly so if that is a factor it won't be a repeating one. I only have three packs of Ramen left and only plan on having one pack a week or so and have no plan on buying any more after I use those up.

Today was crazy busy today. Last Friday of the Month, the weekend before a notable holiday (not quite a major holiday, but definitely notable) and there was a massive drop in the temperature outside and a threat of winter-like weather this weekend. So everybody was stampeding to the store to buy stuff to buy chili. I got so tired of the phrase, “wow, it's so busy today!” Yeah no shit.

The real frustration of it being that busy while being the Supervisor is that there will be four or five people shout chanting, “HEY, MARK! HEY, MARK” I've started shouting it back, trying to get them to understand that I can hear them, and have them hear what they sound like.

 The "Demon" was making some convincing arguments as the day was winding down, but I'm still dry. And tomorrow is the 7th day without any alcohol. It's funny when I looked up the spelling for, "Sobriety" the sentence that google used as and example was, "the price of beer compelled me to maintain a certain level of sobriety" and...yeah, that tracks.

Weight: 332.4 lbs ( 150.7 kg) BMI: 42.7 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 77.5% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Keto Clam Chowder Dinner: Pork Spare Ribs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Red Bull, Keto Week 2 (Day 17) Sober Month 3 (Day 111) YMCA: No Another decent drop in weight again today. But than again the scale was a bit glitchy again today. So who knows. It is annoying that the last time there was a record low the scale was glitching and then today there was another record low, and it's glitching again today. I was going to test the scale a bit more, but Roommate was already up and awake. Finally got around to making the second batch of Clam Chowder. I've been trying to cook that stew for little over a week now. Every time I tried cooking I was short an ingredient. I'd go to the store to get the ingredient, but then I'd be missing another ingredient. And it'd seem to be silly to go grab just one thing. And then the next day an ingredient ...

But still down for the month and amazing progress for the year. The bacon was looking a bit rough when I cooked it this morning. It was just kind of gray while it cooked. I don't know if it's going bad on me, but I'm hoping it can stick it out until Tuesday. I did get around to getting the guts to share my opinion on what is probably going to happen when/if President Trump gets his way with the tariffs  Amazing weather outside today. It was nice enough to open up the windows and turn off the heater. When I came home for lunch Roommate was taking a nap, but I heard a strange banging coming from upstairs. It sounded like he kept slamming his door. But then I remembered that I had my wind...

That's the excuse I used to not go to the YMCA. Still had great progress on the weigh in. But if I'm wanting to make more progress I'm going to have to get going over there. And again I'm thinking that my gut is changing shape because I wore one of my 2X shirts and it almost fits right. I still have to adjust the front of it as I stand up. But at least my gut isn't hanging out of the front of the shirt. Or at least not as much as it has been. The pork steaks that I had for dinner last night came in a pack of three so I had one for breakfast this morning. And I did find another steak in the fridge. So that'll be tomorrow's breakfast. I di...
