I do have to say using those weight machines were very satisfying. It was also nice to hang out with Mom in an activity that she enjoys so much. It is somewhat of an entertaining thought that my mother is becoming a gym rat. I'm going to have to do some research on how lifting weights effect someone mentally. As I was leaving the gym I was feeling like I was drunk. But by the time I got to work I felt normal PHYSICALLY . But there was something going on with my mind and spirit. Because, WOW people were extra irritating today.  I'm going to make a really long, “Mark Whines About Work Blog” But these are just a few examples of what I had to deal with. These are kind

Weight: 335.8 lbs (153.5 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 56 in (142.2 cm) WtHr: 75.7% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Tootn' Chili Turkey Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of Coffee black, Kroger Energy Shot, Kroger Seltzer Water Cranberry Lime Weeks Sober 2 (Day 20) I did a bit of re-tweaking to the 2023 and 2024 weight loss tracking spreadsheets before work. For the 2023 spreadsheet I had the wrong number for the BMI goal. It was only off by 2.3 so not a big change and for the 2024 Spreadsheet I was going to change the Waist to Height Ratio tracking to Waist to Hip Ratio, but I've been doing Waist to Height Ratio for so long I think changing what WtHR means would just cause confusion. It's kind of unfortunate that both Height and Hip both start with the letter “H” otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal. Oh well, that just changes a thing that I was going to change back to the thing that I was already doing. And I'm very grateful for the “Find/Replace” tool on Open Office it

W eight: 335.8 lbs ( 151.1 kg) BMI: 42.8 Waist: 56.5 in ( 143.5 cm) WtHr: 76.4% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Hot Dogs w/Ranch Dressing Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: Pot of coffee, ~3600ml water      After I posted last night I came across a video about meditation. And I thought it might be interesting to try meditation. And that was the last thing I remember from last night. I don't even remember going to bed. I'm not sure if that means that the meditation worked or if I just fell asleep. Or if that's a sign of meditation working.      I really should have closed the windows before going to bed last night because it was really freaking cold this morning. I'm pretty sure that it was 42 degrees (5.6 C) this morning when I woke up. That really got me woken up. But the feet and legs were really burning. Again once I got up and going the burning went away. The burning in my feet and ankles were rather disconcerting along with the weight tracking back upwards. I'

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and eggs Lunch: Pizza soup Dinner: Baked Chicken Drinks: 3600ml water, 2x Kroger energy shots    Another smooth wake up this morning. But I did at least get one pan cleaned to have some bacon and eggs. I didn't get the General Update blog done. I just couldn't think of anything to say.      I seriously can't think of anything to say. Today was a very bland day. Nothing really happened. Sure it was kind of busy in the store, but it was the first Monday of the month it's kind of supposed to be. Today's weight is up. A little concerned about that, but weight fluctuates daily that's kind of why everybody is against a daily weigh in.      I think I'll just leave it. Forcing yourself to say something when there's nothing to say is a really good way to say something stupid. And I'm too smart to say something stupid. Hopefully I'll be more creative tomorr

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 150.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 55 in ( 138.4 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Mac and Cheese with Corned beef brisket Dinner: Taco Salad Drinks: Pot of coffee      Woke up later than I want to today. I'm still guessing that Daylight savings time is throwing me off. It really did mess me up yesterday. It was about noon before I even got breakfast done. And even though I set up the slow cooker for the corned beef it was almost midnight before it was done so I had some of the mac and cheese that I had bought the other day (Had a coupon and you have to buy the stuff you have a coupon for right?)      Today I did start off on my diet pretty good with the Bacon and eggs. I had a late lunch because even though it was four almost five in the afternoon it still felt like early in the morning. Lunch today was the corned beef brisket that I had in the slow cooker yesterday. I set up the slow cooker yesterday because the corned beef was on sale so I had p

Weight: 335.8 lbs ( 152.3 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 55 in ( 139.7 cm) WtHr: 74.3% Breakfast: Village Inn Chicken Fried Steak, eggs, Biscuits and Gravy, hash-browns Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages, Sparkling Water Dinner: Hamburger patties, Chips Drinks: 2L Pepsi Wild Cherry Zero      Today was the last day the roommate was in town and I had to pick him up from him dropping off the truck he was renting. He suggested that we go to Village Inn for breakfast. And all of the way from the rental place to the restaurant I was thinking I just need to order off of the Al Le Carte section of the menu. But when we got there I chickened out from ordering anything fancy. And it's been quite some time since I've had a chicken fried steak. The waitress asked me if I wanted pancakes or biscuits and gravy. And it's been a REALLY long time since I've had “Shit on a shingle” And those were really good buttermilk biscuits (still crappy hash-browns) so breakfast was not Keto,
