It's back under the start of the year again and only 4.3 lbs (2 kg) away from the “progress goal” of where I started the tracking back in 2014, only 1.3 lbs (0.6 kg) away from the lowest weight so far this year, and only about 8 lbs (3.6 kg) away from being under 40 BMI (morbidly obese ) I took a moment before work to record the other political short video that I was thinking of making, but again for some reason when I tried to transfer the files to the computer it only played the audio of the video, but not the video. When I play the video on my phone it plays the video, but doesn't want to play on my computer. And I had a hard time getting...

Keto Day 7
Sober Month 1 (Day 46)

That's a good start to the month. Again happiness is not a number on the scale, but I'd be lying if I said that I wouldn't have been in quite the mood that I was in yesterday morning if I had the numbers I had today.

Not sure if it's the lighting in the Men's restroom at work but the last couple of days when I get to work I still have to pee a lot. And the pee looks quite dark in the urinal. Dark pee is a sign of dehydration. But, as usual, I had just finished off a pot of coffee. I think that I've heard that coffee dehydrates you. Can you drink a half a gallon of fluid and then be dehydrated?

I really can't wait until spring comes back around. I don't remember having such an issue with dry skin on my hands. The back of my hands are really burning, and lotion just seems to make them burn more. They're just burning and oily when I put lotion on them.

Feet really didn't hurt for most of the day. About three fourths through the day the ache started coming in. Maybe I was starting to get tired and started standing wrong? Maybe I was thinking about how my feet didn't hurt so they did start to hurt.

At lunch I grabbed a pack of hot dogs to eat with the serving of soup, but that was a bit of a mistake as it was a bit too much. I ate all of it, but I really had to force myself to. I had ate past the point of satiety. I didn't make myself sick by eating too much, but it was just a waste of money and of the waist. It was only $1.50 but it was a buck fifty that I didn't need to spend.

I tried to avoid buying energy drinks. I had an energy shot from a case I bought a couple days ago, and one for lunch. After lunch I didn't have any more energy drinks. I picked up a Powerade and then later on I picked up something called a Core Hydration. It was cucumber flavored. I can't say that I'll have very many cucumber flavored drinks. The flavor is just too weird for me.

Today was another day when not much happened at work. Well, I thought that it was another calm day. I was thinking that yesterday was a calm quiet day, but the average wait time was 85 seconds. The stores goal is 62 seconds...oops.

I picked up a set of bratwursts on the way home. Another thing that I should not have bought as I had just bought a set earlier this week.

Hey that's one full week on Keto and 1.5 months sober. I call that a good start.
