On Sunday Mom threw a party for Grandma as it was Grandma's 80th birthday. And after the party I was in a strange mood. I sat down and I just didn't wanta. I didn't wana anything. I'm not sure what that mood came from. I don't know if it was because of all of the family members that I was supposed to know, but didn't know. All of the stuff people were talking about progressing their lives and I'm just still sitting here just trying to get my bills paid. I know this blog is about me. But it didn't feel right to make a post saying, “Yay, I went to Grandma's Birthday, and now I'm sad” I feel guilty for tha...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Basic Chili Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Kroger Energy Shot, Unsweetened Tea Sober Month 5 (Day 152) Keto Week 1 (Day 7) I didn't post last night, I just didn't feel like it. I tired to explain why in this post before going to bed, but brain just didn't want to comply. It was almost like the Windows Shutdown Sound went off as soon as I got home last night. A piece of good news, my feet have stopped hurting. I was nervous about my left foot for a couple of days as it was sore on the top outside. I guess that I just stepped wrong, but it seems to have sorted itself out. Forgot my freaking notes again. I do remember that there were things that I wanted to write about, but I can't remember them now. I guess there was a Tornado Warning last night around midnight. It wasn't a very effective warning as nobody seemed...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 55 in (139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Basic Chili Dinner: Texas T-Bone Steakhouse Onion Straws, 2x Dinner Rolls, Prime Rib, Salad, Loaded Mashed Potatoes Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Unsweetened Tea, Diet Pepsi Sober Month 4 (Day 142) Woke up with a bit of a headache again today, at least it faded over time today. But it does make me wonder if I'm missing something. Finished off the last of the Sugar Free Monster yesterday and I didn't want to spend more money on energy drinks and Roommate keeps brewing Green tea so that inspired me to brew some tea for myself. I would have some of his green tea, but I'm pretty sure he puts sugar in his tea. The cheese that I put into the chili at lunch kind of smelt like it had gone bad. I didn't see any mold on it, but I did end up throwing out the last little bit of that cheese that was left. I hope it doesn't make me sick as that would be ...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bar-S Hot Dogs Lunch: Cheesy Chicken Chili Dinner: Meat Loaf, Green Beans, Garden Salad Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Month 1 (Day 35) Sober Month 4 (Day 129) Really had a hard time getting going this morning. I was surprised when I woke up and it was already 9:30am. And I had to work at 11am. I spent the most of the next hour and a half doing math of how long I have left until I have to get up and start getting ready for work. I just could not get up and going. So I didn't have time to have breakfast. I was able to get in a minute or two early to grab a pack of hot dogs and a red bull (not sponsored) Frustratingly everybody seemed to get in my way and just plod along. It took a lot of self control to not just put my shoulder down and charge through the crowd. I was in a really sour mood all day. You could probably tell by the post. Somebody said that it ...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Chuck Roast with Onion Mushroom Gravy Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Month 1 (Day 33) Sober Month 4 (Day 127) hit the ground running today. I was starting to wake up around 7:50 and I was wake, but not quite out of the sleep when Roommate knocked on my door saying that he needed to go to his appointment at 8am.  When I went to go pick him up I saw someone get pulled over. There was a pretty serious rain storm coming through and someone had their back passenger car door open. They were just going down the road in a downpour and their back door was just hanging open. I would really like to know the reason they gave for that.   Something is going weird with my feet and left knee. They were hurting when I was closer to 350 lbs (158.8 kg) they had stopped hurting for a while as I was l...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: leftover Nachos Lunch: Grilled Pork Steaks Dinner: Those were really big steaks      My brain just went flat after work last night. The first half of the day went just fine and smooth for those five hours, but when I came back for the remaining three hours people had just went bonkers. I think people had realized that it was a holiday weekend and they hadn't planed on anything after the weekend so they had to catch up. And I have a theory that the more people in an area, the dumber the individual person in the area and people were reinforcing that theory. Had nachos for dinner last night because I was really in the mood for some comfort food. But the corn chips I picked up were “Guacamole” flavored. But were just a nasty sour salt flavor. I do like very salty corn chips, but these had a really sour flavor.      Paid the natural gas and electricity bills today. Th...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 54.5 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Brunch: Egg Stuff Dinner: Texmex Mac and cheese Drinks: Pot of coffee Happy Birthday Mom. I'm writing this on the 12 th , but by the time she reads this it'll be her birthday. She is the the one who told me about the Keto diet and convinced me to try it. A bit clumsy getting the weigh in video done today. When I first got on the scale to get the numbers for the weigh in I was kind of bummed because it was higher than yesterday's post. But today's weigh in has me wearing a pair of shorts, socks, and a shirt. (have to have some modesty) and comparing today's numbers to last weeks numbers really was quite encouraging. I guess that I followed my diet a lot better last week than I have the previous couple of weeks. And it really is amazing how much the diet effects me mentally Egg Stuff this morning kind of messed me up for the day. And the mac and texmex mac and cheese really ...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 43.3 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: St. Louis Style Ribs Dinner: X Drinks: Pot of coffee with cream, 12 pk Bud Light Next, couple cans of Caffeine Free Diet Big K cola      Spent all day working on a spreadsheet tracking my daily weigh ins and comparing them to goals. I love working on spreadsheets, they are quite satisfying to get working. If I could choose my dream job, I think it would be a 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, data entry job. But I think that might be a dream of a dream job, it sounds like something that could easily be replaced by AI. And I have to say It is a lot funner working out the spreadsheet tracking my weight loss over the year than it is to be cleaning my house like I'm supposed to be doing. It took me considerably longer than I expected to get all of the formulas on the spreadsheet sorted out. But at least for the rest of the year all I have to do is stand on the scale and ...

Weight: 331.4 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 42.5 Waist: 54.5 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Beef and Turnip Stew Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Couple cups of Coffee with cream      Woke up this morning with a little bit of a headache. Not surprising considering yesterday's indulgence, but was kind of surprising was the fire in the feet and the stiff calf muscles. Kind of brought to mind what a coworker had told me when I was buying that Bud Light Next, he said that alcohol in itself is kind of a carb and it breaks down into sugar so a “Carb Free” alcohol is kind of impossible. This might need more research. I do know that Doc Berry is very instant that alcohol is just a poison and nobody needs to be drinking it, no matter what diet they're trying to do. So I don't know if the pain in the legs and feet are due to body dealing with some surprise carbs or dealing the poison of alcohol; maybe the pain in the feet and lower legs is because my body is focu...
