After the X-Rays, scans, and poking the doctor had determined that the teeth are a complete loss. The only way foreword would be dentures or implants. It's hard to say that they railroaded me into making a decision right away. But the implants sounded like a good idea at the time and they talked about financing and it looked like it was going to be $620/month for 75 months. Then they said that before the first surgery to remove the teeth would require a payment of $11,000 and then after I healed six months later I would have to pay another $11,200 for the implanting of false teeth.

Keto Day 2
Sober Month 1 (Day 57)

It is a bit disturbing that in the two days that I didn't stick to the diet I was up 3.6 lbs (1.6 kg) sure there are daily fluctuations, and when I was doing good on the diet there were ups and downs, but not the ups that I've had this week. Kind of reminds me of the idea that the only way that a diet will work is if you treat it more than just a “diet” it should be a “lifestyle”

It is interesting that over the last couple of days the “Body Composition Scan” on my watch has marked a notable increase in “Body Water” I'm not sure how much to trust this scan as it is just a watch scanning my wrist and the two fingers on the other hand. I think that it supposedly sends a pulse through my torso through my arm, through my torso, through the other arm into my fingers, back into the watch. So Maybe a good scan? But I do wonder if the pizza on Sunday, and the pasta on Monday, is causing me to retain water. I have been peeing a lot over the last couple of days.

I was kind of tired of bacon and eggs for breakfast so I deiced to have a steak with the eggs this morning. Steak and eggs cooked in butter is a good combination.  

First half of the day I was supposed to be doing more training, but I had finished all of the training that I was supposed to be doing today on Monday.

I saw that we finally got the snow that they've been warning us over the last couple of days. I decided to leave for work a little early just in case it was tough to drive through the 4 to 6 inches that they were calling for. But I think that they over planned for what we got. I would be surprised if we got two whole inches. As I had left the house early for work I didn't have very much coffee, so I picked up a Sugar Free Monster.

 People at work kept talking about how slow it was. I'm thinking, “Yeah, until everybody finds out that we didn't get the heaps of snow that they were calling for.” or at least that is what I thought would happen. But the second half of the day was really slow as well. It probably was because it was so freaking cold outside.

Lunch was Cheesy Broccoli Soup. I'm not sure if it doesn't work well in the freezer, or if I just put too much mustard when I made it back in November. It was really bitter and had an overwhelming mustard flavor. At least it didn't stink up the house like a really nasty bad fart this time, but it tasted like I was squirting a bottle of mustard into my mouth.

When I got back from lunch I saw a coworker wearing a mask. I teasingly asked him if he was contagious. He said that he did have the flu, if that is what is meant by contagious. Yes, Influenza is usually considered to be contagious. He said that he felt like shit, but he's paid by the hour and he can't afford to take time off whenever he “feels like it.” I asked him if he tested for the flu or for Covid, but nah, he doesn't "believe in those" because he "knows how sick he gets" I was suddenly glad that I got my flu shot. Especially whenever I saw him take off his mask to cough.

 I picked up a Celsius Energy. I don't think that I should have. I was happy that I didn't buy anything at lunch than later on I was feeling like I was missing something.

And there was a headline in the newspaper that said, “Lawmakers eye quarantine power” Apparently they're trying to get rid of reporting and investigating the spread of causes of infectious and contagious diseases. I was suddenly glad that I had a cabinet full of toilet paper. 

I almost left the store without buying anything. I decided to pick up another case of seltzer water and a Lottery ticket, because heck why not. 

 Baked some pork steaks for dinner. I got these steaks yesterday when I did the grocery shopping as I had them cut a pork butt into steaks. I had also bought a thing of Icy Hot, but frustratingly, I can't seem to find it.
