I went ahead and paid off the remaining four months of the car insurances and re-balanced my budget to hopefully have that budgeted to be paid off all at once in the six month sections. It is cheaper to pay it off all at once. It was just last year right after I had paid off the first six month section my car's oil pressure sensor decided to crap out and I had to pay an extra $455 dollars right after I had paid off the monthly bills and bought a 3D printer. I'm going to be quite a bit more careful this year with the returns and I'm going to be loading up the saving accounts like I was wa...

YMCA: Weights

I got the hours and days mixed up in yesterday's post so I was able to get to the YMCA this morning. And I'm wanting to do swimming next week so I spent a few minutes in the weight room I had to struggle with the thought that I was doing everything wrong and I was just wasting time. I tried to use the counter thought of “Doing something is always better than doing nothing” but I really couldn't bring myself to do much in the weight room. I did feel a lot more confident and sure of myself when I was using the treadmill. But then again that's just walking. If I can't figure out how to walk by now I'm going to have a lot of questions with myself and my life.

I do think my feet and knees will like the pool time that I have planned for next week. Also as I'm on vacation next week I'm sure that they'll like that I'm going to be sitting down for most of the time.

For lunch I warmed up a bowl of chili and mixed in some cottage cheese. I am not sure if this is a strange combination, but it definitely is a good one.

My feet were really grumpy with me today. I'm not sure if that was because of the 20 minutes on the treadmill or if that's because of how poorly I've been on my diet last month. (Probably a combination) But I do have to say once again I can confirm that I was much better mentally this afternoon compared to the days that I don't take the chance to work out before work. There was still quite a few frustrating moments at work, but today was a lot smoother than yesterday. I did catch myself staring at the beer cooler as I was leaving the store, but I was able to turn away because of the thought of this blog and the financial spreadsheet. Also my roommate is home and I didn't want to try to justify the beer to him. He's never asked me to justify it, and he's doing his own drinking (he's having some personal issues) but I would still feel like I would have to explain myself.

I managed to convince myself to pick up a 12 pack of Kroger Seltzer Water, I am under budget for the day, but I need to work on the habit of buying something when I'm clocking off, both for lunch and for the day. Another thing I need to work on is getting dishes done more often. I really need to stop waiting until every fork I own is dirty before starting to clean the kitchen. I did dishes as the bratwursts baked, but my feet really would have appreciated it if I were able to sit down while dinner cooked.

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 ...

Roommate was up all night last night screaming in pain. I'm a bit nervous to ask him what's wrong, only because I'm pretty sure that I already know. I'm willing to bet that his problems are something to do with his “Werther's Original Meal Replacement Plan” he's never been a big fan of the Keto/carnivore diets (The Proper Human Diet as Dr Berry calls them). He came up with the idea of whenever he gets hungry, instead of eating he'll have a piece of candy instead of eating real food. Kind of like how when people try to quit smoking they suck...

And it wouldn't be a great idea to drive it back and forth too much. He did say that it would be fine to leave it at the shop until they get the chance to work on it. Some of their people are out of town on training so they wont be able to fix it today, but they'll really try to get it done tomorrow. They didn't want to give a time estimate without looking closer at the car. But they didn't seem to be worried and it didn't seem to be something that they haven't seen before. The computer ...
