Weight: 326.8 lbs ( 148.2 kg) BMI: 42 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Strip steak and Eggs Lunch: KC Strip Steak Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull, Kroger Energy Shot Sober Month 8 (Day 262) Keto Week 2 (Day 17) I did not sleep very well last night. I was just flopping around all night long. I do remember my alarm going off at 8am. I blinked and then woke up at 10am. Today's weight is a good weigh in as it is the lowest weight of the year so far. Since I slept in and had a hard time getting up and going I didn't have time to drink as much coffee as I normally would have. I had the strip steak and eggs. I didn't get a chance to cook the eggs as thoroughly as I normally would have. The flavor of easy cooked eggs are good, but they're harder to eat in a hurry. And all during the first half of the day at work I was just dead tired. There were some seriously busy moments, but there wa...

Which was a really good number. The waist is also gone down a bit as well. I had noticed that the gut seemed to be a big “saggier” (a bit amazed that saggier is an actual word) Had some moments when the lower part of my gut had gotten uncomfortable against my belt. But only when I sit down too long. I did the steak and eggs again today as the steaks that I bought the other day was a three pack so I'll finish that off tomorrow...maybe, the steak I had this morning did have a bit of a smell to it so...

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. Thankf...

It was really cold water, there wasn't a trail from the fridge or sink. The bathroom is above my kitchen, but the puddle wasn't under where the bathroom pluming is. The only thing that I can think of is that it is somehow connected to when I defrosted the freezer the other day. Perhaps there was some ice leftover and since the freezer isn't overfilled right now it was able to defrost itself. Everything in the fridge is cold and the freezer contents are all frozen so everything is working there, but I'll keep an eye on things.  I...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 53.5 in (135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Millionaire Chicken Casserole Dinner: Pork Ribs Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Peachy Keen, Powerade Zero Orange Sober Month 8 (Day 243) Keto Day 6 I was able to post a little bit early yesterday so I tried to read a bit before I went to sleep. I was trying to read Dr Stephen Hawking's "A brief History of Time" I would like to know what divine power is involved that every time I come across something explaining Quantum Mechanics I am always dead tired. I know that quantum mechanics are inherently incomprehensible, but just once I would like to come across when I'm awake and sober. Eight months sober, but it was half past midnight my eyelids were sticking and I'm trying to read about the double slit light experiment and particle/wave duality   Did a little bit of cherry picking on the weight this morning as the sc...

Which I found to be fascinating. When I went to bed I was really tired. I even had to go back onto the blog to correct some things after I posted. But yesterday I really didn't have as many energy drinks that I normally would have. I normally would have had two cans Sugar Free Red Bull over the day. But this week the Powerade is on sale for $1.00 (not sponsored) so instead of the $3 a can of Red Bull I drank the $1 Powerade. But I was doing the rotisserie chicken last night when I went to bed. I went to bed at around midnight, but was struggling to stay awake since 10:30, but the sleep tracking on my phone says that I didn't fall asleep until 2:45 ...

Probably TMI I wasn't confident that today would have a weigh in that was down from previous days as I hadn't pooed in the last couple of days. I had a movement after breakfast. I wasn't feeling uncomfortable, or had any distress it is interesting that I'm always dropping that right after breakfast. I'm going to guess that the coffee is helping with that. It would just be nice if I were to drop that much it would happen before I weighted in and had breakfast...

I'm going to guess because I really haven't pooped much over the last couple of days. I did have a motivating movement right before work. But that was after I ate breakfast so I didn't bother reweighing. What was kind of strange was the bathroom kind of smelt like natural gas after I was done in there. I felt really hyper energized when I got to work. I noticed it and had to tell myself to be careful. There have been quite a few times when I'm hyper energized and that mood flips to angry frustration. I was glad that I was supervisor for most of...

Weight: ? lbs ( ? kg) BMI: ?

Thankfully they are AAA batteries which are pretty cheep, unfortunately I won't be able to afford new batteries for the scale until I do the grocery shopping tomorrow. Something I am concerned about is that there seems to be a strange corrosion all over the batteries that were in the scale. And it seems to have infected the springs in the battery container..hole..I'm not sure the name for the area where the batteries go, but I am kind of surprised to see actual coil springs in modern technology. I'm really hoping that I don't have to buy another scale so soon after buying this one. There will be a couple of days where I can't weigh in fo...

Weight: 330.2 lbs ( 149.8 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 53.5 in ( 135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon with ranch dressing Lunch: St. Luis Style Ribs with ranch dressing Dinner: X Drinks: Pot of coffee, ~3,600ml Water      Had to measure my waist a couple of times. It's just hard to imagine that I've lost that much in just a few days. Catching up with the weight makes sense with how much I've been peeing. During the last couple of days there was the Amazon, Nile, Mississippi, and my bladder.    Had hard time getting to sleep last night, once I did get to sleep I slept straight through the night but did flop around a bit before passing out.    I baked some ribs. Which was big enough and late enough to consider as lunch and dinner. I finished editing and posted the recipe video for the Southwest Style “Detox” Chicken soup . But again it was one of those days where I'd blink and it was several hours later. I guess that it is Tuesday. I want Tuesdays be my ...
