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 ...

UP FOUR TENTHS OF A POUND! UP FOUR TENTHS OF A POUND! My God what is the meaning of this!!!!!! Just kidding, I'm still down 3 lbs for the month and 9.2 lbs for the year. I'm not going to be too broken up about 4 ounces. 

Roommate came in this morning. When he got in he asked to run by the store to get snack food for the week. I took the chance to fill up on Bratwursts, Chicken, and Seltzer Water. I also got the ingredients for some “Fathead” Lasagna. It was a rather expensive trip for just buying one recipe along with Bratwursts and Chicken. But then again, the freezer is getting rather full. It would be nice to have a large chest freezer, but I just don't have the room for it. Or at least I had assumed. But satisfying a curiosity it does look like there are freezers that are around 3 cubic feet. Meh, even if I were to buy one of those I'd have to rearrange my apartment.

And I do admit that I did hesitate at the store when I passed by the beer display at the store. But I was able to argue that I was already spending way too much on groceries and that would just be spending money on stuff I really didn't need. On a grocery trip that already didn't have very well planned out. I knew that I was wanting to get Lasagna, bratwursts, and chicken. But normally when I go for a grocery run I have a shopping list on my phone, but I didn't today so I was kind of making it up as I went along. 

I do have to say that my allergy symptoms have improved greatly today. But I'm not sure if that's the allergies clearing up or because I'm taking medicine 

I took the time today to play a bit of Fallout: New Vegas this afternoon. In my opinion I prefer Fallout 3 to New Vegas as New Vegas has a bit too much “post” in their post-apocalyptic setting. But that was just the kind of mood I was in today. And Fallout 3 on Steam doesn't have any achievements.

An interesting note was that for the most part of the day I really didn't crave any beer. (Outside of that moment buying groceries this morning.) But as I was drinking seltzer water while playing video games I thought it would be nice to have some whiskey to mix into the soda water. Which is kind of odd, I don't really ever buy whiskey. I had to sit myself back down a couple of times because I found myself standing up and pacing around thinking about how I could just get some and have a little and it'd be fine. But the counter argument I had was that I just don't have a little bit at a time, and that's kind of the problem. I could buy a small $20 or so bottle today, but I wouldn't go to bed until it was gone.

It took a while this evening to cook the lasagna, but it does take a while when you have to make the “noodles” from scratch. And the “noodles” turned out a bit too fluffy. The recipe calls for a 9x13 dish and that's what I used, but I wonder if I should have used the bigger dish to have the “noodles” spread out wider. It is the same recipe for pizza crust, and honestly it does work better as a pizza dough. Not that it turned out bad overall, Dr Berry says to eat until you're “Comfortably Stuffed” and I was definitely stuffed after dinner.

It is interesting that tonight I had another hardcore “crash” as it came time for me to get to bed. And again it wasn't a getting tired over time, I'm just “bleah” all at one. But I have been meaning to try to get to bed earlier So I think I'll just wrap It up here.
