Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 150.4 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Egg Stuff Lunch: Southwestern Style Detox Soup Dinner: Ham Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Month 1 (Day 44) Sober Month 4 (Day 138) I downloaded Pokemon Sleep last night and this morning it went through the introduction of all of the data and how it “gamifies” sleep. But I was looking at it as I was waking up and I can't honestly say I understood half of what it was trying to say. I'm just praying that it isn't full of micro-transactions When I did get around to waking up I had a rather unnerving email. It was the “meeting notes for review” of a PayPal transaction of a bitcoin purchase. I'm not seeing any activity on my PayPal account or on my bank account. The most I can tell is that this is some sort of phishing attempt. Yeah, I would NEVER buy bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. The email said call the 800 number to dispute the charge, but ...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 150.4 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 55.5 in (141 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: AI Chicken Lemon Parmesan Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Keto Month 1 (Day 34) Sober Month 4 (Day 128) I keep getting a notification about a “Volcano Observatory” I'm not sure if that's an observatory observing a volcano or an observatory on top of a volcano. The notification is supposed to be headlines and news stories, but when I tap the notification it just comes up with a google search of the coordinates of a volcano in Alaska. I never get the notification when I can look too closely at the google search, but apparently there is a volcano in Alaska. Yeah, there are a lot of volcanoes in Alaska. But I do keep coming back to the idea of an observatory on top of a volcano. That would be an epic place to work. An observatory, on top of a volcano, in the arctic. Man that would be like winning the lottery for a science nerd ...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 151.6 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Cheesy Chicken Chili Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Powerade Zero Orange Keto Week 3 (Day 26) Sober Month 3 (Day 120) YMCA: No It is fascinating when I put the link to the Bacon and Eggs in the top part of the post the link box will always try to bunch the words “Bacon” and “and” together so if I'm not careful it will show it as “Baconand Eggs” It is strange that it doesn't do that with any other recipe it's only the bacon and eggs that get smashed together. Another great drop in the weight. The short goal is 330 lbs (149.7 kg) Not sure when to consider that goal “Beaten” I don't want to say it as soon as the scale shows a weight less than that because it could be up the very next day. I think that I'll just keep that the goal until the end of the month. If it is under 330 lbs by May I'll change the ...

  Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 150.4  kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 55.5 in ( 141 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar sausages Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: couple cups of coffee with cream, 3x Kroger energy shots     Trucker roommate is home this week so I weighed in with shorts on, we're not that kind of roommates. So I'm probably closer to 330 (149.7 kg)      When I was cooking the bacon and eggs that I normally have for breakfast I accidentally touched the cornstarch and the stuff literally EXPLOADED every where. It had fell out of the cabinet, bounced off of the countertop, and landed on the floor. And I have to say that stuff is EVIL when you're trying to clean it up. (seriously God rested on the seventh day and the devil spent all of that day coming up with the idea of cornstarch cleanup) When I came home from work there was a layer over my entire living room. I think I'm going to have to get a Swiffer to clean it...

Weight: 331.6 bs ( 150.4 kg) BMI: 43.3 Waist: 55 in ( 141 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Fathead lasagna Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of coffee, 2x Kroger energy shots, 3600ml water      Had a real smert moment this morning. Every day I step on the scale before I shower and I started the coffee pot before I went back upstairs to shower. I got out of the shower and heard a strange noise like water running downstairs. In the post shower stupor my brain told me that the noise was just the coffee pot working. (I googled post shower stupor to see if that's a common thing and unnervingly every search with that combination of words was about alcohol poisoning I think that's strange) Eventually I did go back downstairs and I found out what the running water noise was. I had somehow forgotten to put the carafe back into the coffee maker so it was spilling coffee everywhere. They say don't cry over spilled milk. But I did stand there for a bit staring ...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 54.5in ( cm) WtHr: 73.6% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Fathead Lasagna Dinner: Ultimate Cheeseburger Velveeta Dinner      Burnt the bacon this morning. :( It was still edible, but a lot more crunchy than I'd prefer. The last slab of bacon was small enough to sit flat in my cast iron skillet so I was afraid that it being effected by “shrinkflation” but that just might have been a smaller thing of bacon as the new slab of bacon seems to be big enough to not completely lay flat in the pan like the bacon before the last package.    Today was kind of a down day. Not really in a depressed way, it was just kind of overly bland. Just the kind of day where I was just waiting for the day to be over, because it just seemed like a day that was there to be waited through. The good thing is that the fuel points and digital coupons at work were working. I'm glad that issue was resolved. So maybe that's why today seemed so meh...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 137.2 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 54 in ( 137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Beddar with cheddar sausages dipped in Queso Dinner: Kroger Cheddar Bratwursts dipped in Queso Drinks: Pot of coffee. ~4000 ml water      Got the weigh in video done this morning. Was kind of impressed that I was down from last week, but it was up 5 pounds from yesterday. I'm pretty sure that the up has to do with the clothes I wear for the videos. So I'm not too worried about the up today.      Was kind of annoyed when I got to work. I forgot my phone and my water bottle. But when I got to work there was a note on today's daily schedule saying that water bottles are not allowed at the registers. Technically this was always the case. But some of the managers looked the other way when someone had some water with them. But now they're cracking down on it. This is a bit annoying because I was getting my water drank because I had just b...

Weight: 331.6 lbs ( 150.4 kg) BMI: 42.6 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Instant Pot Beef and Turnip Stew Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Cup of Coffee, couple cans of Caffeine Free Diet Big K Cola      Hard time waking up today. Bed was nice, warm, and cozy. The heater in my house is working just fine, but it was warmer in the bed. Did get up with enough time to eat breakfast and drink a cup of coffee, but didn't get much else done.      Had a strange dream as I was waking up. I had dreamed that my mother had bought the local Village Inn, but had named all of the meals after my younger sister. She had named the meals after my sister because she was her business partner. My sister is a very business oriented person and it'd make sense that they'd work together on that. And my mom did used to own a restaurant that sadly went under. So there was hope that working together they'd see success, but I remember in the dream ...

Weight: 331.6 lbs (150.4 kg) Waist: 54.5 in (138.4 cm) BMI: 41.4 Mood: tired Breakfast: Pot of Coffee, Taco Chili Lunch: 4 Piece Fried Chicken Dinner: 5 pack of Kroger cheddar bratwurst 1.25 L Diet Pepsi It was probably not a good idea to drink an entire liter of Diet Pepsi before bed. I did manage to go to bed at a reasonably decent time last night as I went to bed around midnight. I'm trying to get eight hours of sleep per night. But I just could not fall asleep. I was just tossing and turning until about 4. And then woke up around 8. But I am writing this part around noon. And I still can't seem to get going Today was rough. It was really hard to get past the “autopilot” I worked 2-11 today and I'm glad that most of the time I was a cashier and he hour or two I was a FES I am thankful that it was slow. I think the main problem that I am having is that I just didn't sleep as much as I should have this week. Monday night I accidentally br...
