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...

Sober Month 8 (Day 251)
Keto Day 6

It is fascinating that I usually finish a vacation week considerably higher in weight than I start it. But looks like it's down for the week, AND for the month.  

Started off the day in a pretty sour mood. I really didn't want to go back to work. The mood did start lifting as I was going in to work as I do complain A LOT on here about the job, but for the vast majority of the time the job isn't a bad job to have. I just wish people weren't just so God damned dumb. And then I got to work. This person called in, but the manager said no so she's still “expected” to show up, one person no showed, another person had tried to switch hours with another person but the Customer Service Manager denied the swap. Thankfully the kid that tried to get off in the trade did end up showing up, but then the person closing Self Checkout called in sick. And I don't know if there's going to be anybody to cover for him as they had already had a guy who was already scheduled to work 8 to 5 stay until 10. So I don't know how many other people they tried to call. And if somebody was called to come in and they said no to cover one person, calling to have them cover for someone else sounds like harassment. I really don't want this to be a Mark Whines About Work Blog.

I had to get kind of creative with lunch because I had just cooked baked chicken all week long last week for lunch, but hadn't planed for this weeks lunch. So I just picked up a big pack of the Jumbo Jumbo hot dogs as Dr Berry says that even hot dogs are more healthy than anything with carbs. It is kind of funny because I had used the last of the bacon this morning for breakfast so I picked up a pack of bacon and since the bacon costs more than the hot dogs I registered the purchase as groceries in the financial program and that means I went the entire month without spending extra money just on Lunch. Snack and Soda spending is considerably down as well. So good on that. 

The second half of the day was crazy busy. I had hoped that the majority of people had finished their holiday shopping and was doing their cookouts and stuff. But it was constant run for two solid hours. The kid that agreed to stay and close cashier was due for another break and there wasn't anybody who could check while he was on break so I was the only cashier open. Someone demanded to know why we didn't open more registers, I just told her that we were understaffed and people refused to come in. the little bit of condolence I has was that everybody who didn't show up for work today not only lost the money for the hours that they would have worked today, but they lose their holiday pay as well. Because if you're scheduled to work the day before, of, or after a paid holiday and you don't come in you lose the pay for the holiday.

After work I had to do dishes before I could cook dinner. And I was wiped as I had spent the majority of the previous nine hours running like crazy.

I spent some time in Minecraft this evening. I'm working on a giant staircase that goes down to bedrock. Using that would make for a convenient mine shaft to explore for more building material. Playing Minecraft is kind of nice because I can look at it and see it as something that I am making progress in and I can see that I've done something.
