Sober Year 1 (Day 390)
Keto Day 6 (9/365 Days 2026 Keto)

I noticed that when I woke up this morning my legs weren't stiff and sore like they have been in the past. There have been days in the past when I woke up I would have to wobble around like I was walking on fiery stilts until my legs loosened up. This morning I wasn't exactly dancing around, I was able to get up and get going quite easily and there wasn't any pain. I'm sure that I'll be limping by the end of the evening. It was nice to get up and not have to sit back down with a painful gasp.

It was exciting to see the down on the scale again and seeing that it's only 0.3 lbs (~5oz <136 g>) from the weight at the beginning of the year. If it gets down below the beginning of the year all of the projections will show it going down. As for now the end of 2027 shows 343.3 lbs (155.7 kg) it would be extremely dissatisfying if I were to get back up to that weight, but at least it was a weight I've been before.

I did go ahead and re-budgeted the paycheck to have 38 hours/week. I'm praying that isn't going to become a trend, but I would like to be prepared if it does. I am NOT going to tell anybody at work that I'm budgeting for the lower paycheck. I'm not wanting to want anybody at work thinking that I'm okay with a smaller paycheck, I'm just preparing for the worst.

Had crazy energy when I got to work. It didn't last very long and had a bit of a crash an hour and a half into the day. But the energy kind of leveled out in the next half an hour. I was kind of in a low but sustainable energy level for the rest of the day. Not sure if there was a reason for that MASSIVE burst of energy when I got to work. Perhaps it was because I didn't have coffee yesterday and I did this morning so I was on a coffee high when I got to work today.

Something that I was kicking myself when I was getting into work was that I was planning on setting up the slow cooker with a roast that I had bought when I did the grocery shopping back on Monday. I calmed myself thinking, 'No worries, I'll just set it up when I go to lunch, I need to pick up a can of Mushroom Soup to set it up anyway.' Then when I went home for lunch I didn't think about the can of soup until I pulled into my parking lot at home. So I quickly ran over to the Main Street store to grab the soup. So I ate the soup for lunch and went into the kitchen to set up the roast before I had to go back to work...and the roast was just a big gray lump. The “use by” date was three days ago. So that was annoying that the only thing that I bought today was a pointless purchase. I checked the date on the rack of ribs that I'm planning on making tomorrow for lunch/dinner. That looks like it's good for another couple of days, so should be fine (fingers crossed) 

I decided to go with a Ham Steak for dinner instead. That was the Ham Steak that I had planned on cooking for Roommate, but then he said that he didn't want the Ham/Pork that I had been cooing for the dinners. I didn't tell him that I had cooked myself dinner as I felt awkward telling him I was eating for myself. He eventually got up and went into the kitchen thinking that I had made a Pizza. I see how he thought that, baking a chunk of ham and putting some ranch dressing on it would smell a lot like pizza. So he ordered a pizza for himself. 

The second half of the day started of really crazy. Just stupid people all around, children screaming running around, parents screaming at the children. People confused that one sign isn't for a different product on a different shelf. People seemed to be freaking out as the sun went down, but once the sun went down it was just a ghost town in the store for the last 3 hours of the day.

I tried talking to Chat GPT about budgeting, but brain is tired tonight. I'm off the next couple of days so I'll talk to it a bit.

But for now I'm going to try meditation again.
