Yesterday when I said I was expecting a drop in weight this morning I was hoping for more than 0.6lbs (272 g)
When I got up this morning my feet were really stiff and sore. Not sure what's going on there. They haven't been hurting much this week, but now they feel like I'm back to what it was like when I started the year.
I had steak and eggs for breakfast because I'm going to try to stretch out the bacon if I can.
My smartwatch has a feature that scans the Muscle/Fat/Water content of the body when I weigh in each morning. I wasn't sure how accurate the scan is because if I look at the things that it said my body contains the watch scan says I have 104.9 lbs of muscle, 145.9 lbs of fat, and a 145.1lbs of water weight for a total of 395.9 lbs (179.6 kg) after I told it that I weighed 344.2lbs on the scale. And that's just Muscle, fat, and water, that doesn't account for skeleton, undigested food, etc. So I'm guessing that there's some error in that scan. But it is fun to have more data to look at. So I added those points to the progression spreadsheet so I could see the change over time. I don't have a target on Muscle/Fat/Water weights just yet, but it is fun to see a progression of the data. It was fascinating that the amount that it shows that I lost in Fat is almost exactly matched by the amount that I've gained in Muscle and in Water Weight. (LOL I've written "Muscle" so many times it doesn't look right anymore.)
I was actually so distracted by playing with the spreadsheets that I was actually a couple minutes late for work.
As I was running out of the door I had set up the slow cooker with a chuck roast, BBQ sauce, butter, and an onion for BBQ Beef for dinner. A bit simple, but it had good flavor. Before I did Keto I would make some Mac and Cheese to go with that. But it was good by itself.
Tomorrow I'm
going to give the CSM a hard time and ask if I had angered her
somehow as I was scheduled to work Self Checkout for the four hours
of the first half of the day. I really don't like running Self
Checkout. I felt like I was bouncing around like a methed out ping
pong ball. There was only one regular register open and I was running
self checkout while people where having panic attacks because they
can't read basic English. One guy who had to stand (gasp!) third in
line growled at me that I should open up another register if I'm,
“going to be standing around not doing anything” he was trying to
say that since people where ringing themselves up the cashier running
the Self Check Out wasn't doing anything. He was saying this as I was correcting
a price on one register, collecting the coupons for another register,
while trying to help a retired old lady on another register. I'm
sorry you have to wait your turn. And please GOD don't give them the
idea that the cashier running Self Check Out can run Self Check Out AND a register
at the same time. Because if you convince them of that they WILL have
one cashier running all 7 registers.
I made a frustrated post on Facebook about one person. A
lady went through self checkout and asked for $20 cashback. The
register gave her a $20 bill. She wanted her bill broken down to
lower denominations. I told her that they don't want us to open the
registers if we can help it (an obvious security issue), but she could get
change up at the desk. And there wasn't a line at the time anyway.
She seared, "money is money and you have plenty in here
freaking retard!" What's starting be called the "R-slur" on reddit and other places on the internet is a pretty big button for me.
Yes, money is money. And I'm not going to get written up for opening my drawer because you didn't want to walk a couple of extra steps. And if I'm not doing something that I'm not supposed to be doing calling me that really isn't going to change my mind on doing that thing.
At lunch I was REALLY craving beef hot dogs. Which is kind of strange because I'm not usually a fan of them. (Don't hate them, but not a fan of the aftertaste a lot of beef hot dogs leave) However the all beef hot dogs are all about $5 or $6 for a reasonable sized pack of hot dogs. I figured that was a bit much for a pack of hot dogs so I decided on the regular hot dogs, but they just didn't have the flavor I was looking for. I also had a serving of Cordon Bleu soup, unfortunately it seemed to have gone sour on me. I didn't get sick from eating it, but the flavor wasn't very good.
Had another frustration with the guy running the self checkout after I got back from lunch, but that story just made the post go way too long about whining about work. But I did add it to the Store Stories To do list.
I was actually late getting out of work as the machine that holds the money had broken down. I wasn't told that the machine was broken until I was just about to leave. When I leave I'm supposed to turn in two of the registers so there isn't a lot of money sitting around. The lady in the service desk said that she had noticed several hours ago that the machine had an error message on the screen. I asked her why she didn't tell me, she said that she "didn't know how." I get that she didn't know how to fix the machine as I had to call one of the Customer Service Managers to ask how she suggested on how I fix it. I did finally get it fixed half an hour after I was supposed to leave. But it was frustrating that the lady saw that it was broken, but she "didn't know" that she could ask me to fix it. That just doesn't make sense. I kept apologizing to the manager for calling her on her night off, but she was more relieved that it was fixed than upset that I called her for help.
It was strange when I was writing this up on my computer I had thought I had almost missed the time to upload it for the day because somehow the computer's clock had gotten set to the Eastern Time Zone. Which was strange because the "Set time zone automatically" setting was turned on, but it was saying that it was in the Eastern Time Zone. Turning the setting off and back on again fixed it back to the Central Time Zone. But I can't figure out why it decided to change Timezones on me. Paranoid thought says that it is getting ready to crap out on me. It is kind of getting older now. But I'm really not in the position to upgrade the PC just yet.
