Keto Day 2

Struggled before work today to get the Instant Pot Chili set up. It took a while for the Instant Pot to get up to pressure, and that was after the rushing around to get it in the pot itself. The plan was to get the instant pot chili set up for the lunch for the week. Well, I was going to do that yesterday, but I needed to do laundry yesterday. And as it only takes 35 minutes at pressure to cook this chili and I was scheduled to work at 11:30 instead of 11am I figured that it would be fine to get that pot done before work. It was taking so long for it to get to pressure I looked it up on Reddit, and apparently the larger recipes take longer to pressurize because the entire pot has to get up to boiling temperature. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it did get done by the time I had to leave for work. But only barely.

Went through the day just kind of zombie shuffling around. Not really much happened. It wasn't that busy. It had busy moments of course, but everything went fairly smoothly.

It was quite warm and humid, but it's July in Kansas. They're kind of going back and forth if there's going to be thunderstorms, but again, July in Kansas. I did pick up a bottle of Powerade Zero this afternoon as I was carrying out for most of the first half. I've heard both sides of an argument on if drinking Sports drinks is a good thing when getting hot and sweaty.

I did have a Red Bull (not sponsored) and I am wanting to try to get off of energy drinks. But at least it was the sugar free version. And last time I tried to quit energy drinks Management called up me up into the office 

Dinner was a baked rib eye as when I got home I was just so fried from work. Not sure why I was so tired. The tiredness I was feeling was almost like it was a panic buy before a holiday or something, but it just wasn't that kind of busy today. It might be because while I as doing laundry yesterday Mom's Air Conditioning was out. No disrespect to her, and she did get it fixed today, but yesterday I was sitting in the heat all day. It got up to 92 degrees (33 c) in her house yesterday, and I am glad that it was repaired today. And speaking of getting too hot, I overcooked the steak tonight. I got impatient and put the steaks in the oven before it got done preheating and then started the timer after it got to temperature. It wasn't burnt, but it was more than well 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 ...

That's the excuse I used to not go to the YMCA. Still had great progress on the weigh in. But if I'm wanting to make more progress I'm going to have to get going over there. And again I'm thinking that my gut is changing shape because I wore one of my 2X shirts and it almost fits right. I still have to adjust the front of it as I stand up. But at least my gut isn't hanging out of the front of the shirt. Or at least not as much as it has been. The pork steaks that I had for dinner last night came in a pack of three so I had one for breakfast this morning. And I did find another steak in the fridge. So that'll be tomorrow's breakfast. I di...

But still down for the month and amazing progress for the year. The bacon was looking a bit rough when I cooked it this morning. It was just kind of gray while it cooked. I don't know if it's going bad on me, but I'm hoping it can stick it out until Tuesday. I did get around to getting the guts to share my opinion on what is probably going to happen when/if President Trump gets his way with the tariffs  Amazing weather outside today. It was nice enough to open up the windows and turn off the heater. When I came home for lunch Roommate was taking a nap, but I heard a strange banging coming from upstairs. It sounded like he kept slamming his door. But then I remembered that I had my wind...
