And the filter isn't due to be changed until the end of the year, but it's good to have those in on time. I bought a four pack so the entire year's filters are bought and paid for, for the next year. Brain was kind of autopilot today. I was scheduled Noon to 9pm this afternoon/evening. I covered the Self Checkout for an hour, then I was a carryout for an hour, I was supposed to be Supervisor for three hours, but the guy running the online pickup had me cover his lunch break for an hour. I was kind of concerned because there was a compilation of orders that...

Sober Day 6

YMCA: X

     Strange last night I had to wake up several times to pee. This is strange for me. Maybe because of how many carbs I ate lately? All of the Seltzer Water?

     The up in the weight this morning is within normal daily fluctuations, so I'm trying to not beat myself up too much about the carbs in the last couple of days. Especially considering that some of those carbs were from a Christmas party.

      The European Cookies are REALLY good dipped in coffee. The European Cookies are kind of like a box of chocolates, (except you know what you're going to get.) it is a verity box of different cookies. I don't want to eat them all at once because, well carbs, and also I don't want to just scarf down the Christmas present all in one sitting. But these really are really good dipped in coffee. The salted coffee, and sweet cookie is a good combination. I didn't have very many cookies today, but I don't want to call this a Keto blog until I'm through them all.

     It was probably a mistake to take a weekly vacation the week before Christmas. Today is my first day back to work and it's three days before Christmas. And the first couple days back from vacation takes a lot of self control to stay employed. And that's during a normal time of the year. Now I'll have to deal with my “post vacation anger issues” and everybody else's holiday stress. Of course I'm writing this part before work, and it's more than likely a bad idea to go into work thinking of all of the bad things that could happen.

     I was going to make a “Mark Complains About Work Section”, but it was getting out of hand needless to say I made some additions to my Store Stories To-Do List. Something I'm a bit wary of is that later in the evening I was coming out of the office and missed a step. Now my left ankle is kind of grumpy at me. Not in a way that I think I injured it, but definitely in a way that reminded me that I'm really wanting to lose weight and was standing around all day before giving a really hard STOMP.

     Had Taco Soup for lunch today. I was kind of surprised when I tried to log it into my calorie counter app on my phone because the recipe wasn't saved. I've cooked this several times for myself before, and surprisingly it wasn't in the saved labels in my blog either. I know that I've had it quite often before. 

     Last week I got a surprise delivery. Apparently someone donated a crap-ton of Eggnog to the Soup Kitchen and they decided to leave them on random doorsteps. Roommate and I were joking about getting some rum to enjoy the nog. And this evening I was getting some chicken out of the fridge and saw the expiration date on the Eggnog. It had expired on the 18th. They were handing out expired food as “Gifts for the Holidays” Very neighborly of them. -_- Oh, well. The Eggnog isn't good for Keto, and the Rum wouldn't be good for sobriety.

I'm a bit annoyed about how long it's taking this chicken to bake. I'm trying to get to bed earlier, but it's going to be quite late by the time it's done.

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 ...

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 ...

Not in the greedy sort of way, but in the something bit me kind of way. There's a bright red spot on the base of my thumb and on the top of my right pointer finger whenever I wash my hands. Over the day the level of itch was low enough that it wasn't really that distracting. But if I was standing around not doing anything I would catch myself picking at my finger. Kind of surprised to see the weight progress over the last couple of days. Almost seems to be back on track. There's been a bit of a weight loss plateau over the last couple of months. Not sure if that's because I'm not following the diet as well as I would have liked, or some other issue. Yes...
