Sober Year 1 (Day 381)
Keto Day 1 (1/2 days 2026 Keto)

It's a little annoying to reset the Keto Kount, but it is kind of fun that the days sober and the days Keto have the same “ones” number. A bit irritating that the day of the year is 2 though. That's a pretty big jump on the scale this morning. I don't think that I ate 7 pounds (3.1 kg) of food yesterday. But when I got home from Grandma's house last night eating a lot of not very keto food I was REALLY thirsty and drank quite a few cans of seltzer. But that's about 9 cans of seltzer, not counting now much I would have peed out. Oh well, it's not a good idea to try to overanalyze the day to day fluctuations. Strange that Google recognizes the word “overanalyze” but spellcheck flags it as misspelled. But the first couple of days of the year really make the spreadsheet projections look funny. The estimated projections range from 332.1 (150.6 kg) to 5,344.7 (2,424.3 kg) considering that the world record for heaviest person ever was Manuel Uribe at 1,230 lbs (560 kg) that would be really impressive

Last night when I left Grandmas house I had forgotten my jacket at her house. There's a argument suggesting Global Warming is real. I was able to get all of the way home from Grandma's house before I realized that I was wearing a short sleeve shirt, and no jacket early in January. The next week or so is all going to be in the upper 50's and low 60's. It was quite cool and blowy today, but still not bad for early January.

I ran by the bank to deposit the gift Grandma gave me last night and by the post office to send off the rent check before going over to Grandma's house to recover my jacket. She did fill me in a bit on my cousin's condition. Grandma really isn't confident on Cousin's recovery. Supposedly dialysis had already had taken 17 pounds of fluid off of her, and there could be another 100+ lbs to go. Her daughter isn't doing that great either. Cousin's daughter was born without legs, I haven't seen her in a long time, but the last time I saw her, her torso was almost as wide as she was tall. I feel sorry for the kid, she didn't ask to live and be raised like that. I don't know if I have much room to judge though I'm not a parent.

After hanging out with Grandma for a little bit I stepped across the street to say hi to mom as it didn't seem right to be in the neighborhood and not step over acknowledge her. I didn't stay very long as I REALLY REALLY had to pee. Of course I could have used her bathroom, but it would have been weird.

I had one of the Rib-eyes that I had bought the other day that looked too rough to grill. When I cut open the vacuum seal bag it smelled alright. But an hour or so later I was starting to feel hungry again so I had a serving of the Enchilada soup. While I cooked the steak I also took a moment to set up the taco salad for dinner.

I had the day off because of New Years Holiday Hours. But I spent most of the time just kind of dozing at the computer staring at the financial and weigh in spreadsheets.
