Weight: 304.6 lbs ( 138.2 kg) BMI: 39.1 Waist: 51 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: No Bean Chili  Hot Dogs Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 634) Keto Month 6 (Day 203) (246/365 Days 2026 Keto) I didn't get the post done last night (Saturday) as I had worked later than usual and by the time I had “recovered” from work it was too late to write a post. I did try to read a little bit. Read the chapter where Oliver Twist made his way to London. Which was kind of interesting because I had always thought that the entire book took place in London. Charles Dickens had obscured the starting city so I had just assumed that London was where he started out at. But it took Oliver a couple of days of walking to get there. And I just read that one chapter and when he got to London he was found by another kid who I'm assuming is one of the thieves that the story is known for recruiting little Oliver. I am o...

Weight: 303.1 lbs ( 137.5 kg) BMI: 38.9 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Sausage Patties, Cheese, and Eggs Lunch: No Bean Chili Cottage cheese Dinner: Pork Steak cooked in Onions and Peppers Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Energy Sober Year 1 (Day 632) Keto Month 6 (Day 201) (246/365 Days 2026 Keto) I worked 9am to 6pm today so I set some alarms to wake myself up as I usually wake up at 8am and if I woke up normally I would have to jump up and run out of the door. I didn't have time again to have any coffee. I did have time to cook a couple of the sausage patties and eggs. I don't know if there's a whole lot of time difference in cooking the sausage patties or cooking bacon. But I figured that the sausage was quicker. I only managed to finish eating before I had to run out of the door. I was in the desk for the majority of the day. There were some moments of frustration as people seemed to be in a rush so a lot of people would quickly ye...

Weight: 305.4 lbs ( 138.5 kg) BMI: 39.2 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Spicy Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Rib-Eye Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 620) Keto Month 6 (Day 189) (234/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good drop on the scale this morning. Not quite back on track, but good progress. Didn't wake up early enough to cook breakfast or have any coffee I did have a can of Monster as I went into work and had some smoked sausages. The store was quite active, but not as busy as the level of irritability that people seemed to be in. People were just pissed off all day long today. For a bit I did wonder if was just me being in a foul mood. But I didn't feel that bad it was just everybody was yelling at me. I kind of wanted to tell people to calm down, but that never has the desired effect. I heard a guy yelling in the health and beauty section so I...

Weight: 307.8 lbs ( 139.6 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Lunch: Pork Loin, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 618) Keto Month 6 (Day 187) (232/365 Days 2026 Keto) Weight was a little down this morning, not enough to get that excited about. I think the scale knows that I changed the goal so it has to mess with me for a while. Today again I worked a little earlier than I usually do so I didn't have time to have coffee or the usual breakfast, I did have time to duck in a few minutes early to grab a pack of sausages. I have to say that the first half of the day was NOT what I was expecting. Today was the first Friday of the month, the weekend of a Major holiday, and the State Fair is coming to town next week. I was expecting to be running ragged all day long. But for the most part during the first half people just kind of trickled in. I ...

Weight: 308.0 lbs ( 139.7 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Bar-S Hot Dogs  Snack: Cashews Lunch: Pork Steak, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 617) Keto Month 6 (Day 186) (231/365 Days 2026 Keto) That was a really rather disappointing weight this morning. I'm trying to keep a one day weight get me down too much. But I haven't had a number like that since the first half of July. That had put me in a bit of a mood and in a hurry so I didn't remember to measure the waist. It doesn't change much so I'll guess on that. I was scheduled to work 8 to 5 today. I was a bit nervous about showing up to work that early as I'm usually waking up at 8am and they needed me to BE there at 8am. I had set several alarms on my phone. They say that it's more effective to set one alarm and jump up and out on that first alarm. But I don't have a lot of confidence in relyin...

Weight: 302.5 lbs ( 137.2 kg) BMI: 38.8 Waist: 50.5 in ( 128.3 cm) WtHr: 68.2% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Air Fried Chicken, Cottage Cheese Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Celsius Sober Year 1 (Day 594) Keto Month 5 (Day 160) (205/365 Days 2026 Keto) I haven't kept track of my waistline as well as I have of my weight so I'm not sure when the last time it was this low. But I'm sure that it has been a while. I cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast and ran the Air fryer to cook the chicken for lunch. I noticed that Mom was trying to get the kitchen cleaned up so I took the effort to clean up after the air fryer and put it away. A habit that I need to work on.  On the way to work I had an errant thought. All of the reading online seemed to say that the cause of a low credit score is the result of irresponsible spending. But I have very little to no debt spending. Sure I had a car loan about 10 years ago, but that...
