Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Screamin' Sicilian Mother of Meat Pizza, Kroger Cheddar Sour Cream Chips Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Month 10 (Day 314) I actually woke up early today. The sleep app says that I didn't get enough sleep. And I did have a hard time falling asleep last night. I didn't have breakfast as I was waiting for Roommate to wake up and go to his appointment like he usually does on Tuesdays but by 10:30 I got tired of waiting for him to wake up so I thought I would go ahead and cook breakfast, but I was out of eggs. I remembered that I was going to buy eggs when he was at his appointment like I usually do as I do the grocery shopping while he's at the doctor. It is true that Mom gives me some of her eggs, but I don't want to snag all that she has. She only has 4 chickens and I eat four eggs a day. He did get up right as...

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...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Keto Paleo Gumbo Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Sober Month 7 (Day 231) Keto Week 1 (Day 14) Okay, spent WAY too much time with the spreadsheets over the last couple of days I used the spreadsheet titled “Full Weight Tracking and Projection” that has weigh in data over the last 10 years to generate an average daily weight. And trust me that I've had to learn to save my work several times over the last couple of days. 2025 looks like it's going to be a fascinating year. This year started with highest weights ever recorded, and if the projection holds true (fingers crossed) it'll have some of the lowest weights recorded. I haven't had a year where I've averaged a weight lower than 330 lbs (150 kg) since 2015 and since 2025 started with such a high weight it's unlikely that the a...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Broccoli Soup Dinner: Pork Loin Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster Keto Month 1 (Day 36) Sober Month 4 (Day 130) Had a slight moment of euphoria this morning when I weighed in and the weight this morning was below the short target. But it faded as I had to get ready for work. At least I had time to make breakfast. I could feel the good mood deflate as I drove to work. After I clocked in I stopped in the restroom real quick, and the belt buckle snapped off. So that put me into a great mood. The jeans that I was wearing fit enough that they weren't immediately dropping off, but I had to keep adjusting them the entire first half of the day. And naturally I was working a 5:3 split today, so I had to work five hours before lunch. I ran home for lunch and grabbed the old belt that was stretched out to hell and back. The old belt is so stretched out tha...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 56 in ( 142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Lasagna Soup Dinner: Burger patties (grilled), Mac and cheese Drinks: couple cups of coffee; ~3600ml water, 6pk Bud Light      Woke up in a good mood. With the recipe videos that I recorded yesterday and the inventory I took of the freezer, I am stocked up with food for the next month and a half. So if I stick with the discipline for the next month and a half the only food I'll have to buy is bacon, coffee, and cream for said coffee. And the only dishes I'll have to do is cleaning off the pan I cook bacon in and rinsing off the bowls/silverware of the leftovers. That is if I have the discipline to stick with this plan. I know that it is a good plan because it worked before. I just didn't have the discipline to stick to it.      The “After Vacation anger” that I was expecting on Sunday showed up today after lunch. I'm not sure how much of i...

Weight: 329.6 lbs ( 149.5 kg) BMI: 42.3 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Hot Dogs Dinner: Queso Soup Drinks: cup of Coffee, 12 pk Michelob Ultra Hard Seltzer      The weight being up 2/10ths of a pound ( 0.09 kg) isn't going to bother me too much it's not even enough to effect BMI. It was probably too much diet soda yesterday. I am excited that my waist measurement is down. I don't think I've had a 54 inch waist since 2018. This wasn't even "creative rounding" or anything. It really was right at 54 inches! And like 330 lbs (149.7 kg) 54 inches (137.2 cm) seems to be another hurdle that I struggle with. So if I can make progress on that it would be quite exciting. It is kind of interesting that 0.5 inches off of the waist is 0.6% off of the WtHr      Saw some weather forecasts for this weekend and people are pretty excited that the highs are going to be in the 60's ( >15 C) This weekend. I know that it's...
