Weight: 337.2 lbs ( 139.7 kg) BMI: 43.3 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Taco Chili Cheese Curl Chips Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Month 10 (Day 301) Dang that was a jump on the scale. I'm thinking about getting back into Keto. I'm not going to jump immediately back into it as I still have several boxes of Hamburger Helper (not sponsored) and some other Non-Keto meals that are going to be the cheaper options. I don't think that I'll start up the Keto Count until Roommate goes back to work, but I am going to try to buy and eat more meat biased meals. I'm just going to have to research some cheaper dinners. Of course I say that and then at lunch I buy some cheese curls The weight is still 13.8 lbs (6.3 kg) down from last year and 8.27 lbs (3.75 kg) down from average, but still it is frustrating that all of that progress over the last couple of months was wiped out so quickly...

Keto Day 2
Sober Month 5 (Day 154)

A little disappointed that the weight is up a couple of pound since yesterday. But I'm REALLY KIND OF FREAKED OUT that the paycheck hasn't landed in my bank account this morning. The pay stub usually updates on Wednesday around 7pm and I usually check the site as I'm leaving work on Wednesday, but I was off yesterday so I didn't bother checking the site and I was just expecting the deposit at midnight like usually happens. I checked my balances after posting last night...and it wasn't there. I tried to check the website were the pay stubs are posted and it wasn't responding. So I downloaded the related app. After a bit of login and signing up drama, I was able to check my pay stub...and it wasn't there. The last pay stub that is available is last weeks pay stub. I had already written a check for groceries, my phone bill is on autopay and that comes off this week, and my gas bill is already overdue. I CANNOT not get paid today. I called tech support and through their heavy accent I think that I could just barely tell that somebody had submitted the payroll later than they should have and the pay slip should (I noted the “should”) update around 5 pm.

Roommate suggested that I go to the bank at lunch time to talk to them. I didn't know that there was much that they could have done. But by chance of luck the guy who was working the desk at the time was the lead of the overdraft team. And he was able to flag my account to let payments to go through without overdraft fees, as it was due to no fault of my own. And that was a MASSIVE relief as the check that I had written to pay for groceries had already came through. While I was at lunch I poked at my phone and found a setting to “pause” the autopay. The Phone Bill is still due by the 1st of June, but at least it wouldn't come off when I'm still waiting for the paycheck to come around. The autopay doesn't pay until the 28th which is going to be Wednesday and if the paycheck hadn't came through by Wednesday and I'm supposed to be paid on Thursdays I'd be really quite heated but I didn't want that to be an option.

Lunch was a couple of servings of Big Mac Casserole and once again the relish in the casserole gave me really pickely burps for a while.

When I got back to work from lunch there was a memo saying that the payment issue was a known issue and they were working to fix it. And the payslips will be updated at 4pm and the deposits will go out at 5pm. So yeah I was checking my bank account hourly. And it was a massive relief when I saw my bank account back into the positive. I know that the guy at the bank said that I wouldn't get overdraft fees for any purchases, but I didn't want to test that too much. And being stressed out all day and then the massive relief of the paycheck being deposited really wore me out. I wasn't a very effective Supervisor today and I think I'll be sleeping quite soundly tonight.

I did notice that I had received a 25 cent raise. I can't help but notice the time a couple of years ago when the paycheck glitched and it turned out that it had just been because the retro pay had screwed it up. There didn't seem to be any retro pay in this weeks paycheck. Maybe next week? Maybe they implemented the raise at the right time so they won't have to pay retro pay? I can't say that I care much, I'm just glad that I did get a paycheck this week.
